Of course there is a God, and he's a mean SOB. How do I know that?? Because 98% of the time I hear someone call upon him, it is to "damn it," whatever 'it' may be.

So there you are...

Jaysus, didn't we hammer this whole arena to death about two months ago? What is it with these crazy fucks who think the context of the world is the context of their peabrains? Seriously, if you were going to barge into a community with such portentous announcements, doncha think you'd bother seeing what went before on the topic? That is, if you were even 20% literate?

I'm inclined to think that ignosticism is the best option although I am rather drawn to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Screw that, LH. That would just prove that it's Goddamn cold outside. Here, that is... and I wouldn't force the cold northwest wind here tonight on anyone.

Right, skipy. ;-) Did you notice that the whole premise of this thread as it was launched by Guest above was to push a certain point of view on everyone else? One wonders what the payoff would be for him if everyone in the world suddenly converted and agreed with him? I guess he would have to find a new Everest to climb then... ;-)

For me, there is no God, there has never been a God & there will never be a God.
For the rest of you, believe whatever you want too, you have the right to, but don't try & push it onto anyone else!

Santa Claus comes in in the "S" section. Tooth fairy in the "T" section which immediately follows... ;-)

"Can you prove "God does not exist", Ed??? I mean, you are the one who has made the statement... Seems that the burden of proof falls on you, pal..."

Sorry, Bobert, but no-one can prove a negative. The "burden of proof" still lies with the theist. I suppose, strictly speaking, he should start with the 'null hypothesis' (ie. there is no God) and then consider the evidence (if there is any) to the contrary.

If, on the other hand, the theist maintains that he relies on 'faith', and needs no proof, then he cannot demand any sort of proof from the atheist and there are no grounds for discussion. Nevertheless, if the theist resorts to these tactics he cannot demand that the atheist either share or respect his 'faith'.
I suppose this explains why some theists have used, and are still using, violence, or the threat of it, to get their own way.

Heh! Yeah, he comes here like he's got a revelation to lay before us all, doesn't he? It's like having someone draw you aside into a quiet corner, check around in all directions to make sure no one will distract the two of you, and say......"Look, I hate to break it to you, but there IS no Santa Claus and no tooth fairy either. I am so brilliant that I figured this out all by myself. If you want to bow down and worship someone, let it be me."

Actually, I would say that is an atypical religious reaction. Of billions of religious people only a small percentage act like that. But they are the proverbial squeaky wheel. Good, upstanding religious folk rarely make the news.

On the other hand, look at all the fuss those buffoons are raising because that teacher let her class name a teddy bear Mohamed. Sound like a typical religious reaction to me.

I kinda like the quality of Hinduism that denotes various gods for various systems.

Seems a rational sort of chap.

Compare the behaviour of theists over the centuries with the behaviour of agnostics and atheists and humanists over the centuries.

You are an ill-mannered lout.

1) Become a member then start this thread.
2) I fail to see why anyone on this forum should give you a damned thing, and that includes an answer to an ill-stated question which--on the surface--seems to be trolling.
3) PFO.

Everyone has a choice of what to believe...I suggest that as long as they have fully studied all the religions available and made a considered decision as a result..then how can they be wrong? Are you sure you are right? What is the evidence which led you to this conclusion?

I'm terribly sorry to have to break this to you, and the fact that you make up a fairly large proportion of the world's population makes it hard, but I have a duty to tell the truth.

Deep breath... God does not exist

If anyone can give me decent evidence as to why I'm wrong, I'd like to here it, along with something more substantial than "mysterious ways"
