Again you have zero evidence or reason to say this is a false premise. Secondly, only with the notion of God does the fact there is something rather than nothing make sense. Also a universe that is beautiful, ordered, and follows strict laws makes sense with God and does not make sense in atheism. The fact that there is intelligent life or life at all, much more so that life that can actually think and ponder its own existence and seek out higher truths, do science, and create technology - all this jives perfectly with God. What in this world doesn't fit with the premise that there is a God?
Some thoughts are true. Democracy, human rights, equality, the scientific method, God, etc... “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

You just said you looked at both sides and found equal evidence for both, namely none. So why or how did you make a conclusion? Were you biased by your starting point because of your upbringing or was it something else? “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

They're as easy or as hard as you want to make them. They fit your agenda, so of course you make them complicated. You can twist them around to make your points. I have no points to make, so the questions are easy for me. I have to go to a wedding now, but I really only go to the reception. I can't sit thru the churchy part anymore, soooo boring, and so not like real marriage. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

The conclusion is, god is a dead end. Can't prove he's there, can't prove he's not. It's right up there with alien abductions. Not worth my time until proof comes along. Until then, I mark it off my list. I strongly suspect if god and aliens did exist, there would be a preponderance of evidence. There isn't, and that right there says something. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Suckers. Cute little Christian kids getting married so they screw each others heads off. Not a good reason for marriage. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

FrGamble Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 67 Posts: 7596 | So God may exist, you are just waiting for some stronger maybe more personal evidence. I hear ya, I was there. Just be careful you don't fall into the lack of evidence is evidence of lack error. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

Gosh I hope there is more to it than that. I bet they want to raise a family together too. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

No, there is no god. No evidence, no god. If there was something, it would be far from anything we could ever comprehend. It would be more along the lines of Heinlein's 'thou art god, meaning a force that permeates the universe that we are part of. It is us and we are it. We are god expressing ourselves as humans, and animals and trees and bugs. There is no outside force, like your personal god. It's all inclusive, we are it and it is us. There's no point in looking for that, it's like trying to see your own eyes without a mirror. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

How about any evidence. So far there is none. After 10,000 hours or so of discussion, you'd think that point would be clear by now. I've not seen one iota of evidence that a god did anything yet. You know you have to have some reasonable connection that A(god) causes B to know a god caused anything. Even to dot a sentence. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
