Let's cut to the chase. Do you have any evidence?

Post #1

Post by no evidence no belief »

I feel like we've been beating around the bush for... 6000 years!

Can you please either provide some evidence for your supernatural beliefs, or admit that you have no evidence?

If you believe there once was a talking donkey (Numbers 22) could you please provide evidence?

If you believe there once was a zombie invasion in Jerusalem (Mat 27) could you please provide evidence?

If you believe in the flying horse (Islam) could you please provide evidence?

Walking on water, virgin births, radioactive spiders who give you superpowers, turning water into wine, turning iron into gold, demons, goblins, ghosts, hobbits, elves, angels, unicorns and Santa.

Can you PLEASE provide evidence?

I think they will say "It was written, so it's evidence"

And, yes, tabloids about lizard alien babies are evidence those things exist, too....

Ok, so in other words you are admitting that you have no evidence. Thank you.

Anybody else?

This man LITERALLY says nothing of value. I don't know how you think this corroborates ... well anything.

He cites this "torrent of evidence" in his 'investigation' into religion but backs it up with nothing.

His wife apparently believes morality can only be attained through the worship of one of many invisible deities.

He uses the Frank Turek approach (which is so stupid) of "UHHH I DONT HAVE ENOUGH FAITH TO BE AN ATHEIST DURRR DURRR.''

This is old, useless hat. Nothing of substance was said. Let me rephrase him and everyone like him:

"I had questions about religion so i looked up some articles on the innertubes and watched william lane craig a few times and they're really convincing and my wife is acting sweeter with the church in her belly so Im a believer now."



Atheism.... it's not concerned with explaining logic and consciousness, the gaps in our current knowledge or why hot dogs come in 8 packs but buns in 10. It is not representative of a group of peoples' like minded actions or mentality. NO ACTIONS or BELIEFS may be ascribed to ''atheists'' like we're all indoctrinated together.

It's a word.

It is simply anti-theism.

I dont understand what is so hard about this idea.

Just curious.... What kind of evidence would you accept?

Once we establish that I'll decide if I can... er... crack the case for you.

But how can an atheist find God.....Wouldn't it take a miracle.
You yourself being an atheist.... would you need a miracle to believe in God?
Can you say right here and right now you will never believe in God?

Wait... Where do you live? Your hot dogs come in packs of 8 and buns 10? That doesn't even make any sense. I couldn't live in a world like that... Where I live we have 12 in both.

Tex, your posts age me. They sincerely age me. It takes a lot to reign the urge in to smash my face against the wall when i read some of this stuff.


You know what it would take for an atheist to believe in God?

Not a "miracle.''

Just some proof. Just some evidence. If he appeared to me right now or spoke to me, Id believe right there on the spot.

Your god made it a habit to converse with and appear to MANY MANY folks in ages past, allegedly.

Why did he quit?

Why doesn't he make an appearance again and set it all to rights?

He's done it before, yes?

AdHoc,

I think its the other way around maybe. Maybe it's 8 buns and 10 dogs or 8 dogs and 10 buns.

EITHER WAY IT DONT MAKE NO SENSE
