Prove me your god exists, but with a twist
Post #1Just that: I don't want your God to exist. I think he would be a tyrant if he did. Now what are you going to do to prove me "his" existance?

I don't have my eyes "shut", I just want a reason of why I should believe in the existance of something that I don't want to exist, especially considering that I have never seen much "evidence" of "His" existance.

Why should anyone believe in God's existence? You don't have to. That is a choice we all have. I heard about Him and His message, and I chose to believe.
Am I correct in assuming that you have heard about Him and His message? Assuming that you did, then you have the choice of doing what you want with what you have heard.

This is not evidence, but here it goes. You may have heard this argument before.
If you don't believe in God, and it turns out that you are right, then you have lost nothing and gained nothing. BUT if it turns out that there really was a God, you have lost EVERYTHING.
So it is at least worth thinking about. Also, perhaps study what some Christians have to say about God's "tyrrany." The more one learns about God, the more they realize that He is not tyrranical at all.

Our logic should not be controlled by our emotions, blind ignorance gets us nowhere. There are many books on this subject, I was wondering whether you had read any. You see, you can't see evidence if you don't look for it.I don't have my eyes "shut", I just want a reason of why I should believe in the existance of something that I don't want to exist, especially considering that I have never seen much "evidence" of "His" existance.
I can't prove something to you if you don't want to believe anyway. It is like telling a small child not to run across the road without looking both ways. Whether they wanted to believe me (that the action was potentially dangerous) is not the case, because it's more than likely that something bad will happen.
That analogy isn't perfect but it gives the general idea.

Actually. What if god created all religions as a farce? Only those who figured out the joke and don't celebrate them go to heaven, and those who participate go to hell?Amadeus wrote:This is not evidence, but here it goes. You may have heard this argument before.

If it turns out I'm right you have lost EVERYTHING. It's something to think about.
