The length of the thread, in the link below, is largely due to repeated questions.on the contained information. The following is open for debate.
Belief in the existence of God is scientific. Denial - unscientific.
For those who disagree with the above, please state why, and/or provide evidence for the following:
- God does not exist.
- God exists only in the mind of the believer.
- Miracles do not happen.
- The Bible is a book of myths.
There is no phenomena or thing that requires a God to exist.
God does not explain anything, or if God ceases to exist, nothing would change.
The Bible being a book of myths is the easiest to demonstrate. The two different stories of Genesis (you know the contradictory ones,) are from Sumerian (the Creation) and Greek (the birth of evil) from Pandora. Cain and Able, are Egypt's Set and Osiris. Abraham is son of Rahab, the Sea, or Hathor.
I can go on and on...
Even Jesus, is simply Dionysus. Though Christians defamed the poor deity into a god of lechery, he has the same story.
And Lookie here! DionYsus minus Dion = Ysus. or Jesus. Thank you theStudend, I was wondering what the correct derivation of Jesus was: You have allowed me to discover it! (If one were to derive Jesus from Joshua, you need to translate it though Greek and Latin, as well as drop a syllable: Joshua should become Ioseous, if done properly.)
DioNysus, of course means Dio (god) ny (born) Sus (Zeus). God of Zeus. Dionysus is the ONLY god born of a human mother, and so on.
