Object: DOES ANY GOD EXIST?
There is NO objective verifiable evidence for the existence of ANY gods.
Lots of opinions but NO evidence! God beliefs are no more sound or realistic
than beliefs in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy
Evidence of gods;
There is NO objective verifiable evidence any gods have ever spoken to any
sane men. There is only the 'subjective opinions' of errant men.
There is NO objective verifiable evidence any gods have ever appeared to any
sane men. There is only the 'subjective opinions' of errant men.
Why does this all powerful god creator never communicate with us? Why does
he never authenticate his very existence?
There is NO objective verifiable evidence that any Heavens, Hells, Gods,
Spirits, Angels or Saints actually exist except in the imaginations of man.
There is a wealth of objective verifiable material evidence that NO gods
actually exist.
Why does this all powerful creator, all loving and caring intelligent
designer, create Plagues, Tsunamis, Tornadoes, Volcanic Eruptions, Floods,
Wars, Earth Quakes, Cancers and hundreds of debilitating diseases and
serious body malfunctions? There are 12,000 known diseases that affect and
punish mankind indiscriminately. Why does he permit millions of both young
and old to starve to death or die of miserable diseases? Why punish millions
of INNOCENT CHILDREN in this horrible way?
Why does this all powerful and caring god permit totally "innocent children"
to die at birth? Or worse, be born lacking eyesight, a fully developed
brain, deaf and dumb, missing limbs etc.? Why are some born idiots and
others with super intelligence? Why are some born into wealth and others
pauper poor? Why does he permit over 2,000,000 innocent children to die of
starvation every year? Why are his human creations designed to deteriorate
into a miserable and devastating old age regardless of their religious
affiliation?
God supposedly created the world like it is, to punish man for Adam and Eve's
'original sin'. Why does he also punish supposedly innocent children and
animals with thousands of diseases, birth defects, starvation and to be
eaten by other animals?
Why did this all powerful and loving creator create things like sharks,
jelly fish, octopus, lions, tigers, rhinoceros, wolves, poisonous snakes,
stinging and poisonous insects, poisonous plants etc.? Why did this caring
and benevolent god create animals (including man) that need to painfully
kill and eat other animals to survive?
World War I claimed 9,000,000 lives of people of many religious faiths.
World II indiscriminately claimed over 20,000,000 lives of people of all
ages and religious faiths, plus a vast destruction of property and more
millions maimed for life.
The recent Asian Tsunami has claimed the lives of 200,000 men, women and
children of all religious persuasions. Over 100,000 of these were totally
INNOCENT children!
There were three major epidemics of the Bubonic Plaque - in the 6th, 14th.
and 17th centuries. The death toll was over 137 million men, women and
totally innocent children.
The influenza of 1918-1919 killed at least 25 million men, women and
innocent children indiscriminately.
Diseases like malaria, AIDS, tuberculosis, etc. maim and kill millions
indiscriminately every year. More millions die of starvation and
malnutrition.
These indiscriminately afflicted the young and old, atheists and those of
all religious persuasions.
Meanwhile MAN, not god, has developed defenses and cures for hundreds of
serious diseases. Man has learned to create shelter, heat and cooling,
purify water, world wide electronic communications, power and transportation
systems including flying through the air.
Man has created a wonderful medical and drug system and improved housing and
food production. The result of MAN'S inventiveness has
DOUBLED the average life span. None of this was created by any gods.
Perhaps your loving and caring god is actually a cruel, heartless, mean and
torturing tyrant. If he treats us so cruelly during life, why do you think
he will let us enjoy peace and eternal happiness in his Heaven? And why does
he keep all this a secret by preventing communication with our dead parents,
siblings and friends? (Or this god?)
There are thousands of different religious and god beliefs but NO OBJECTIVE
VERIFIABLE EVIDENCE for the actual existence of ANY of these gods. ALL god
beliefs are based on the unsubstantiated 'opinions and claims' of errant
men.
If there is a god that created the Universe, he is obviously not an
all-caring and benevolent god. Nor is he an "Intelligent Designer". The
objective evidence is if there is a god creator, he has NO concern about the
welfare of the creatures on Earth.
The objective evidence is that no gods created man but quite the opposite;
that man created gods!
I challenge god believers to supply ANY objective verifiable evidence that
their god actually exists except in their over active imaginations.

Aaaaah from the mind. [thanks for clearing that one up then.]
God is a creation of the mind of man, it took a while but we got there in the
end
Thanks Frank

Love has a very physical, naturalistic basis. Nothing magical about it.
It's a wonderful thing to experience, but no reason to go all kooky in
trying to explain it.

Are you talking about that funny feeling in the crotch some people call
love, or is it love and care to the death if need be?

So is god an emergent property of all that exists? Because that kind of
leaves you with a creation problem. Ummmm... if god is immaterial, and
not emergent, then in what sense could he be said to actually.... exist?

There is a big difference between "over active imaginations" and the
presence of the Living God in the heart of believers



"What He has done for others, He could do for you; it is no secret what God
can do"
Word from Rev. Thomas Dorsey



So many lives have been changed by the power of the Good News, which is the
Resurrection power.
You say, " prove it" or "come up with some hard evidence." DON'T NEED TO
NOR CAN I : revelation and truth are
revealed to the heart. Within my inner man( my spirit man) I know it to be
so. I know that I know that I know. This is that miracle of the re-birth.
Flesh gives birth to flesh (natural birth - understood and explained by
natural science)...spirit gives birth to spirit~~ cannot be understood by
science, therefore it requires no scientific proof or evidence to those who
are born again from above. You must be born again, from above, to believe,
and understand ... you have to become like a little child. So let me
emphasize "become" ( with a child-like trust in; being teachable as a child
is) to begin to understand the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, otherwise
it is foolishness, much like it is to those perishing in their sins.


"You may ask me how I know my God is real;
you may doubt the things I say and doubt the way I feel;
but I know He's real today, He'll always be;
I can feel His hand in mine,
and that is good enough for me."
Words : Mossy Lister

Not fundamentally.

"What He has done for others, He could do for you; it is no secret
what God can do"
Word from Rev. Thomas Dorsey

Who?

So many lives have been changed by the power of the Good News, which
is the Resurrection power.

Some power. It cannot be objectively verified, but there you have it.

You say, " prove it" or "come up with some hard evidence." DON'T NEED
TO NOR CAN I : revelation and truth are
revealed to the heart.

So no objective evidence. Thanks for stopping by. Get in line with all the
other religions since yours is no more believable than theirs.

No "misconception" on our part, Bob. But you certainly have a
misconception about what the word "god" means. That word doesn't mean an
invisible old man in the sky above them thar clouds, like your grand pappy
told you, but our Christian "God is love" (1 John 4:8,16) become fully

invisible old man in the sky above them thar clouds, like your grand pappy
told you,

Back then it was pastors like you who taught my grandpappy that god was
up there above the clouds, he didn't imagine it all by himself, along with a
church full of like minded people
[as you full well know]
So what has changed Frank?
Reality? Credibility? Progressabilty? Factuality? Perpetuality?
Sanity?

but our Christian "God is love" (1 John 4:8,16) become fully
manifested in Jesus Christ giving His life for us sinners on the cross of
Calvary. We therefore know our God and have seen Him. (Jesus in John
14:6-10)
Atheists don't know our God and therefore cannot see Him, (Jesus in
John 3:3)

Looks like your reading and comprehension skills haven't improved over

Not so much expect but see that they do.
We see no difference between religions, they all have their
equivalents of shepherds and pastors demanding unthinking
robot obedience from their supposed flock. We have seen the
hatred, spite and lies that they hurl against people who do not
conform to their attempted dictat. We have seen you and see
nothing worthy.
We have been through all that before from the forcible conversions in
the early days through Crusades to The trampling of Europe by
Christian Germany, "Gott mit uns" taking Christian persecution of Jews
and atheists to new heights of barbarity. (He proclaimed the
elimination of atheists in 1933. A tiny minority detetested in
Christian Germany they were the easiest targets to start with)
Stop trying to drag the world back down to your level. We are
too busy building a better one to waste it looking backward to
the kind of ignorance and superstition that you advocate. Your
time is past (not that your kind merited any) the western world is
moving on and is much better, happier and stronger for it. Lift
up your eyes from your long discredited book and you will see
a religion free Europe that is more united and peaceful than at
any time in its entire history. The look at the USA and see how
it is loosing the brief lead it enjoyed after WW1 as it sinks
deeper into debt and moral turpitude through rampart religion.

But then I have seen atheists advocate eliminating schools for they produce

Yes you are right, we close failing schools here in the UK and applaud
and learn from those that succeed therefore forcing up standards.

and the law, for it creates criminals.

The law recognises not causes criminals. Society causes criminals and
none more so than religious ones. There is a clear correlation between
levels of crime and the degree by which a society is religious. The
USA is worst in both regards along with Orthodox Roumania and the
Scandanavian countries the best. Here in the UK crime is falling
almost as quickly as religous observation.

Only the "god" of atheist definition doesn't exist. To Christians, the
word "god" is a title, like King, Lord, Master, etc., it's not a proper
name. Atheists are therefore saying, that kings, lords and masters don't
exist, which is patently ludicrous.
To deny the existence of God becomes even more ludicrous, if the word
"god" indicates a quality, such as love and care, something we all know to
exist, but may never have seen evidenced to the fullest, outside of Christ
giving His life for us sinners on the cross of Calvary.

Not as patently ludicrous as the way your brain works ! LOL
We say 'gods dont exist - gods of ANY definition' including your personal one
that
is so out of step with claims by the average Chrisitan it is laughable.

Are you saying we don't need anyone advocating being loving, caring and

prevent man's inhumanity to man? Did you talk like that to your mom, when

Tell us how "loving and caring after the image of Christ" changes
people's character for the better making them more knowledgeable about
medicine, biology, or the environment?

Are you saying we don't need anyone advocating being loving, caring and
kind, for advances in medicine, biology or environmental protection will
prevent man's inhumanity to man?

No, I'm saying that the dark ignorance of religion has never helped the
advance of science, and has often tried to hinder it. And it is science
that has reduced human suffering infinitely more than religion ever has.
As far as man's inhumanity towards man? Well, science created airplanes
and skyscrapers, but it was religion that turned them into ashes...

Did you talk like that to your mom, when she told you to be a good boy?

She taught me to think for myself and to question everything, something
your mother apparently never did...

Lots of opinions but NO evidence! God beliefs are no more sound or
realistic
than beliefs in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy


Gods exist only in the imagination of, in the main, frightened
humans,
including some that suffer from raging insecurity complexes.
Others, the majority, join a church and then believe and follow what
the
Pastors
tell them because they feel it is the right and correct thing to do.
They are generally nice people but regrettably still people
labouring
under
misconceptions.


No "misconception" on our part, Bob. But you certainly have a
misconception about what the word "god" means. That word doesn't mean
an
invisible old man in the sky above them thar clouds, like your grand
pappy
told you,


Back then it was pastors like you who taught my grandpappy that god was
up there above the clouds, he didn't imagine it all by himself, along
with
a
church full of like minded people
[as you full well know]
So what has changed Frank?
Reality? Credibility? Progressabilty? Factuality?
Perpetuality?
Sanity?

Looks like your reading and comprehension skills haven't improved
over
those of your grand pappy, who also merely regurgitated what he was told,
instead of reading up on it himself, interpreting sensibly......


....and seems your intellect and desire for honesty fails to run to
dealing
with my points in a logical manner.
'nuff said - exposed for what it is.......
Christianity moves the goal posts constantly as more asnd more nonsense is
expodsed, usually by the steady march of scientific progress.

Tell us how "scientific progress" changes people's character for the
better making them more loving and caring after the image of Christ?

Scientific progress exposes superstition and silly nonsense. Character and
goodness are intrinsic attributes in some humans but not all. These attributes
are frequently latched onto by the priesthood and claimed for themselves to
further their influence over others - a kind if 'clerical theft'
But you know all about that
