Does God exist?

[Regnum Dominae]

because we were dangerously derailing another thread for the last 15 pages...

Do you believe that a God exists?

I believe that there are no supernatural deities. Science has better explained away all the various things that theists claim to be evidence for their god. And furthermore, considering the immense human suffering that exists today, a god would either have to be malevolent or incompetent:

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" -Epicurus

Furthermore, I simply feel that those making the claim that a god exists have the burden of proof on their shoulders to solidly prove that there is a god, before I would even consider believing in such a thing. I do not consider "the <insert holy book here> say so" to be legitimate evidence, because that begs the question: why is that holy book relevant?

This post will probably be expanded as I elaborate more on my beliefs.

Your thoughts?

You can also use this thread to debate the merits of various religions, or religion in general.

If somebody can scientifically prove that there's a deity, then I'll believe, and not a moment sooner.

[Oceasia]

Yes, i think so

[Regnum Dominae]

Yes, i think so

Why?

G-d exists. The proof is everywhere and everything.

[FurryFandom]

I don't think so, I am not religious.

I prefer to believe in the science.

[Vazdania]

G-d exists. The proof is everywhere and everything.

Elaborate.

Every single thing, is a testimony to the existence of G-d.

[The Islands of Equality]

Another religion topic. This is going to be fun.

Anyways I am an agnostic atheist, who doesn't believe in any religion, or any "Gods". However there is a slim chance that there is some sort of force controlling the universe, but I highly doubt it, so call me a atheist.

[Shallowell]

Yep

There are scale replicas of all of the chickens in the world floating inside of Uranus. The proof is everywhere and everything.

[NVADF]

In my opinion, the existence of god would raise more questions than it would answer.
No, I do not beleive he exists.

[Gandoor]

No, end of story.

[Regnum Dominae]

This is going to be fun.

I'm not the only one who is pathologically obsessed with debating religion?

[Genivaria]

I made a better one, with a better OP.

Glorious!

[Oceasia]

Yes, i think so

Why?

I am not a scientist, but here it is:
What materials made atom?
What materials made the materials of atom?
What materials made the materials made the materials of atom?
And it goes on forever. There is no way science can answer that in a near time.

That still doesn't mean some imaginary storybook character made anything.

And they are invisible and are undetectable. They exist, you must have faith. *nods*

[NVADF]

Elaborate.

Are you saying that everything could not exist without a creator? Because if so, then what created god?
