Proof that there is no god.

Come onto the thread about what happened last night...

Go on, and watch....

Wow, the debate is still raging.  For the believers, I'm not judging.  You all have faith, good for you.  But I do have a question:

How do you know your Christian god is the right religion?  Quoting the bible is meaningless.  I could quote a Stephen King book and that doesn't make ghosts real.  You have to realize, when you quote passes from the bible, all us non-believers see you doing is quoting words from some guy who lived hundreds of years ago.  It means nothing to us.  You're saying it was divine inspiration for those words to be written, but what you're really doing is asking us to have faith, as you do, that that was indeed the case.  But since we're faithless, we don't see the logic in quoting a book that for all we know is complete gibberish.

If I were to believe in a supreme creator, it sure wouldn't be a man-like being with a beard who cares about what happens on this planet.  It would be something inconceivable, like a sentient beam of light or something.  I think it is hugely egotistical to assume god is just sooooo like us.  As Bill Maher said "he has kids??  What is this, 'Hee Haw?'"

Back to my question though...how do you know your religion is right?  Conversely, how do you know, say, some ancient Norse religion is wrong? 

Follow up question to my last post...for the believers:  Are you willing to admit that god exists but maybe you have it all wrong?  Maybe there is a god but there is no heaven or hell?  Maybe there is a god and he's mean and sends EVERYONE to hell?  Maybe there is a god but he doesn't love us and we're nothing but ants to it, maybe it doesn't even know or care we exist, like microorganisms in some science lab?

One of the things I can't comprehend is how you claim to know god.  Like, if you said "I believe in SOMETHING, but I have no idea what it could be.  It could be anything.  Or, I could be dead wrong.  But, it gives me peace to choose to believe in this one religion, as it adheres closest to my life."  I could live with that statement.  It's kind of like, I don't blindly follow science but science tells me the sun is a giant ball of gaseous elements.  That could be dead wrong, but I choose to believe it because it makes the most sense to me, being that I live in this century with all the accumulated knowledge we have. 

Like, I just read post 503 and SJD has the audacity to say the recent tragedy wasn't part of god's plan. 

How could you POSSIBLY know this???  You're speaking for god now?????

Agent cooper, maybe you havent read my posts clearly. I think you are getting God and religion screwed up, well at least in my case.

I believe that somebody or something created our world and it doesnt have anything to do with religion. I think religion just takes advantage of Gods name to line their pockets.

But i stick by my opinion, somebody or something created this world, everything didnt just evolve

As i wrote in the other thread...

Why do people want to hit him and harm the murderer last night?

Didnt his brain just evolve differently from the rest of us? it's just different. Just as the chemical reactions are different for homosexuals, which is acceptable to most atheists, so it should be for rapists and serial killers and child molesters. They're all OK....they just have a different chemical makeup and in no way should be blamed for what those chemical reactions make them do. Technically they shouldn't even be punished for what they do. I mean......who are WE to tell THEM how to live their lives? They were simply born that way so why should we punish them for that? We should be sympathetic to their desires and try to help them but certainly not punish them. They just have different chemical reactions than we do. Its not their fault...

Correction: Unlike you I have read and studied the Holy Bible and so I know what God is all about.

Someone already had asked this question but not in your exact same wording but nevertheless basically the same question and I answered it on pg. 2, post #33. Below was my explanation.

The answer is because of Jesus Christ.

You really got to laugh at all the non believers who keep saying over and over again, we got this fact and that fact.

Its comical. They got facts from what another human being tells them, but they dont realize no human being can know the answer.  Science is man made theories

Let this thread die, because the believers arent going to convince the non believers and the non believers arent going to convince the believers, so its a useless thread.

each person just needs to live their own life and believe what they want.

Its not costing me one cent to believe

In due time...I still have to answer more questions coming from these lost souls...maybe just maybe I might convince a few to finally see the and so I still have more work to do.

This thread won't last forever, you remind me of this 2 other threads we had going a little while back concerning religion.

Man there must have been a dozen or so guys who kept coming on the threads and telling us to end it but it kept going for several months until it finally died on its own.

Well one of the commandments is commandment number six which states: "Thou shalt not kill"

john you forget to add in parentheses

(except when your god tells you to)

Yes kitty, you are so much smarter then me because you dont believe God exists, because a human scientist tells you that

you go right ahead believing living things came from non living things

you go right ahead believing what a scientist tells you, even thou that person cant prove God didnt create every single thing they discover

Its typical of hard headed non believers to not not concede, that there is no way to prove who is right and who is wrong.
