Why I think religion is inherently bad. [POLL ADDED]

[Obamacult]

Yes, you are correct that God's existence cannot be refuted.

And therefore God doesn't exist.

Yes, you are correct, that you have not proven that God does not exist.

[Sentinel XV]

No. You see, distance does not matter. You are a physical entity, and your genitalia is an extension of your physical self. Both are physical, and can be seen, quantified, qualified, and studied. God can not be seen, quantified, qualified, or studied. Again, your argument is flawed.

Why is that people who say 'God is unknowable' always talk about what you can and can't do with god?

Because what they really mean is "God is what I want it to be, and this is a convenient way for me to circumvent logical arguments".

[The New World Oceania]

But I'm not near you, so i might as well be invisible eh?

No. You see, distance does not matter. You are a physical entity, and your genitalia is an extension of your physical self. Both are physical, and can be seen, quantified, qualified, and studied. God can not be seen, quantified, qualified, or studied. Again, your argument is flawed.

He cannot be seen, quantified, qualified, or studied... With certainty...

[Mavorpen]

And therefore God doesn't exist.

Yes, you are correct, that you have not proven that God does not exist.

Cool, so now that you've admitted you have no evidence and you're talking out of your ass, we're done here.

[Obamacult]

Yes, I agree that your argument that demons don't cause disease does not disprove God's existence.

You need to brush up on your reading comprehension skills.

Yes, you have still not disproven the existence of God.

[Mavorpen]

You need to brush up on your reading comprehension skills.

Yes, you have still not disproven the existence of God.

Nor have I attempted to. Your inability to prove the existence means that you concede the debate.

[Obamacult]

Yes, you are correct, that you have not proven that God does not exist.

Cool, so now that you've admitted you have no evidence and you're talking out of your ass, we're done here.

Yes, you have convinced me that you are incapable of disproving God.

[Equestrian Democratic Republic]

I think religion is bad because my atheist liberal college professor said religion is bad.

[Sentinel XV]

No. You see, distance does not matter. You are a physical entity, and your genitalia is an extension of your physical self. Both are physical, and can be seen, quantified, qualified, and studied. God can not be seen, quantified, qualified, or studied. Again, your argument is flawed.

He cannot be seen, quantified, qualified, or studied... With certainty...

In the context of modern science, he cannot be seen, quantified, qualified, or studied. As an absolute. Because that would give evidence lending for or against his existence: and we have none.

[The New World Oceania]

Yes, you have still not disproven the existence of God.

Nor have I attempted to. Your inability to prove the existence means that you concede the debate.

Nonlocality. I win, now both of you give up.

[Obamacult]

Yes, you have still not disproven the existence of God.

Nor have I attempted to. Your inability to prove the existence means that you concede the debate.

Yes, neither you or I can prove or disprove the existence of God.

I concede that point.

[Mavorpen]

Nor have I attempted to. Your inability to prove the existence means that you concede the debate.

Yes, neither you or I can prove or disprove the existence of God.

I concede that point.

So you concede the debate and admit I've won.

Hehe

[Typhlochactas]

Yes, neither you or I can prove or disprove the existence of God.

I concede that point.

You really know nothing about the burden of proof.

[Khodoristan]

Any sane person, Christian or otherwise, would be a fool to state that bacteria causes demons or some other bullshittery. All I'm saying is this: I have no hard evidence god exists. You have no hard evidence he doesn't. I go on believing in God, because I believe he is outside the scope of the human mind.

We are nothing in the grand scheme of things, and to me, that other is God. Existing, formless, ever-flowing, not bound to petty dispute or logic.

Now proving this is the hard part. Which, I admit is a fruitless endeavor on all parts.

So I'll just leave it at that.

No one has any hard evidence that he does not exist. That's still a bullshit reason to believe in him, or anything.
There is no hard evidence that leprechauns don't exist beyond the edge of the observable universe.
There is no hard evidence that there is not a walrus beneath the surface of Titan.
Ad infinitum.


Your method requires you to believe in everything in order to be logical consistent. Mine does not.

Chrisse de calise de tabernak...

Ok. Let me put it real simply. You have no evidence that there is no God. Thats a bullshit reason to not believe in him.
There is no evidence of string theory, wormholes, or time dilation.
There is no evidence of loop quantum gravity or even the Higgs boson, although the latter may change if the LHC readings were correct.
Ad infinitum.

Your method requires you to follow the laws of science and hypothesized physics. Mine does not.

[Obamacult]

Yes, neither you or I can prove or disprove the existence of God.

I concede that point.

So you concede the debate and admit I've won.

Yes, I concede that you cannot prove or disprove the existence of God.

[Mavorpen]

So you concede the debate and admit I've won.

Yes, I concede that you cannot prove or disprove the existence of God.

Cool. Another win for me.

[Valkmar]

Everyone listen to me, i have come forth with my new book known as The Bullshit, its about my new religion known as the Fire-breathing Dark Lord Ape Church, if you rub peanut butter on your privates and go skydiving into the ocean without a parachute, then you will Rollerblade with him in the afterlife. Now you see, i can't prove or disapprove him, but you'll have to take my book, and my word on it man.

[Khodoristan]

As a student, I get payed by the win. So I need to win, or else I wont have the dinero to afford ramen.

[Mavorpen]

Ok. Let me put it real simply. You have no evidence that there is no God. Thats a bullshit reason to not believe in him.

Learn what the burden of proof is.

There is no evidence of string theory, wormholes, or time dilation.

False, somewhat false, and false.

There is no evidence of loop quantum gravity or even the Higgs boson, although the latter may change if the LHC readings were correct.

Both false.

Ad infinitum.

Your method requires you to follow the laws of science and hypothesized physics. Mine does not.

You have no clue what you're talking about.

[Obamacult]

Yes, I concede that you cannot prove or disprove the existence of God.

Cool. Another win for me.

Congratulations, you have neither confirmed or refuted the existence of God.

You win.

Said every religion in recorded history.

[Typhlochactas]

Obamacult: The defendant is guilty.
Mavorpen: You do not have sufficient evidence for me to believe that claim.
Obamacult: Well, you can't prove he's innocent, so therefore he's guilty!

[The New World Oceania]

Yes, I concede that you cannot prove or disprove the existence of God.

Cool. Another win for me.

This'll break headlines. Tell us, Mavporen, what's it like to win on the Internet? How many tongues are you expecting to be stuck in cheeks?

If you find me evidence of all of the above being true, I will concede this debate. Super srs tho.
