"I have never encountered anyone with evidence that God does not exist."

That's because if a person says god exists, it's up to them to supply the evidence, not the person who disagrees. Science can't prove god doesn't exist (if it wanted too, I can't see the point myself), but perhaps one day could prove she does. It's typical of human arrogance to think we have all the answers, or ever will have*.

If we need external validation to prove god exists or not then our faith must be rather brittle and we're getting the wrong end of the stick. It shouldn't matter what anyone else believes, let them get on with it as long as they're not hurting anyone.

This is why the whole blasphemy business with Fry was overblown; to his mind it simply isn't blasphemy as he doesn't believe in god. Am I to get the hump every time I see the pope or a vicar on TV because I eschew Abrahamic religion?


"I have personal evidence which cannot be explained by science"

I guess we all might have in our own mind, but don't expect anyone to take our word that it's anything more than our own personal experience. If we want to convince people otherwise, then we have to supply that evidence.



*I'm willing to concede I might be very wrong about all this, and when I keff it I will be hauled up before St. Peter who will then tell me that despite trying to be a good person to be informed my lack of faith has condemned me to eternal damnation and devils sticking forks up me arse. I'll ask for a word with God before I take the elevator down because if no-one here will answer the questions about suffering etc, I'd like to ask him myself. If I have got it wrong though, I hope I find my way to Valhalla, to drink in those mighty halls!
