Does God Exist?

[Jagalonia]

If there's no god, how do you explain a sunset?

Checkmate, atheists.

If there's a god, how do you explain humans' lack of immunity to stepping on legos with bare feet?

Checkmate, christains.

If there's no god, why is it called the miracle of birth?

[Universal Socialism]

Your proof is invalid. A god isn't required for anything to function. Look around you and where do you see god or his work, or is all you see natural things that can be explained by science?

Anything you see around you can be explained by science and most of it has been already.

If there's no god, how do you explain a sunset?

Checkmate, atheists.

The Earth rotates. When the Earth turs away from the sun we lose sight of the sun and it creates what we call a sunset. Now I will have to assume you were being sarcastic.

I go with yes (a maybe kinda sorta yes, not a definite yes).

To be honest, I have no idea why. It seems so illogical that an omnipotent sky man created the world, but it just fits for me. It might just be more comforting to believe in everlasting life than to be nothing after death. Who knows?

[Desmendura]

Since there's no proof of a god, there is no rational reason to believe in one.

I'll have to agree with this guy. There is no proof so there is no reason to believe.

Congratulations at being my first Orthodox friend that I know of.

Do i get a prize?

No, but I feel like this is another sign.

Anyway, now I'm sure I'm somewhat supposed at least to be close to you.

I know. Religion comforts me in that way.

[The Vekta-Helghast Empire]

You're among the group of religious people I tend to enjoy the company of, you seem a bit more liberal than most, which is pleasant. (Especially when you come from an old-fashioned part of Scotland like I do and religion is stuffed down your throat at every turn. There's even a street in my town with 4 churches..)

LOL, I thought the UK was largely secularized.

But then even Norway and the Netherlands have their Bible Belts so it doesn't surprise me.

Yeah my area is pretty bad, in my Primary school we had a religious assembly every Friday and Wednesday where local priests and whatever would come in and give talks, then at the end you'd do a prayer. Until I was about 11 I thought everyone believed in God, since it wasn't until about then we actually started getting Religious education and I started to realize that it just wasn't what I believed in. Since then I've went from Christian -> Agnostic -> Athiest.

Another sign of what? What exactly are you trying to find out/do/prove/verb? :/
confus

When you think of the end of existence or the end of your existence, you are wishing for God to exist, not properly believing in it consciously and rationally.

That is why I say I was never truly theistic.

And at the same time, I really wish some parts of Christianity didn't exist. (In contrast to the wish of existing that you talked about.)

I asume Leviticus is one of those parts, or at least most of it - (I think it's safe to say most of us agree that it's probably bad to have incest and beastiality, which is why I say most of it and not all of it).

Someone important to both of us leaves. Someone relevant to my approaching to that one meets age of majority. Your nation randomly gets a "revolution" with no explanation. You are the first one to be my friend with a religion from a part of the world I always thought of and gave the looks that it is the mostly culturally absent from my country. Aside something important in how I try to understand the events of my life and my dreams that I forgot right now, but I remember being important.

Ok, ok, I'm officially the most spiritual agnostic atheist secular humanist ever.

I find it comical that that's where the bible thumpers take a chunk of their anti-gay nonsense from...

[Juggalo world]

God exist just because some people feel they are to good to believe in him doesn't mean he doesn't exist.

Most of us. I'm quite okay about most incest, and divided in some incest and in zoosexuality.

Anyway, mixing religion with sexual morality is bad.

God exist just because some people feel they are to good to believe in him doesn't mean he doesn't exist.

Do you have any proof for that?

Bleh. I haven't read Leviticus (or any Bible-related book), but all that has been mentioned here from it was bad stuff and more bad stuff. :/
I just simplified religion for me and myself.

[Jagalonia]

God exist just because some people feel they are to good to believe in him doesn't mean he doesn't exist.

It's not that we're too good. Well...I am...

It's more that we don't see a reason to believe in an omnipotent, omniscient being that exists outside of space and time...

Without going into the countless paradoxes within his character itself...

[The Vekta-Helghast Empire]

God exist just because some people feel they are to good to believe in him doesn't mean he doesn't exist.

What..? Because I feel I'm too good to believe in him? I used to be Christian myself, I just came to the conclusion that it wasn't for me - It was too far fetched for myself, however that's not to say that some day I may be proven incorrect. I never chose to not believe, it's simply how my mind functions.

[Jetan]

God exist just because some people feel they are to good to believe in him doesn't mean he doesn't exist.

Prove it then.

[Bezombia]

God exist just because some people feel they are to good to believe in him doesn't mean he doesn't exist.

God doesn't exist. Just because some people feel that they aren't good enough to not believe in him doesn't mean he does exist.



Do you see why your logic is flawed?

[Degenerate Heart of HetRio]

Ikr. It only took me reading the Bible to see that maybe God not existing is better than the possibility otherwise anyway, and I saw that I don't really take the whole thing seriously and that I believe in science and rationalism to the most part. And I was 9.

I find it idiotic that some people try to enforce their religion on people who don't have the same religion or the same ethics.
The irony is that they are harming people when doing that (sometimes).

I considered myself an atheist by age 10. First time I went in a church was for my cousin's communion, and by the end of it I was like "this sucks, I wanna go home".
Obviously my position has been refined since then.

I was already agnostic rationally at age 7, when I started to feel bored and even annoyed by prayers and masses.
