Does God Exist?

[Ardemax]

oh yeah forget about that quote there rob... are you calling around 2.1 billion people in this world "naive"?

[Agnostic Bear]

Strong agnosticism is the way forward and anyone who says otherwise is silly.

Your debate was based purely on belief though, so you shouldn't later be stating what you think as fact as you did. Also..



Not a fan of encyclopaedias, cultural archives and dictionaries then isit lol

As those books consist of FACTS, you just completely failed to put forward a valid argument.

Oh yeah, just because a large amount of people do/say/believe something, that makes it right (Y) Do I need to remind you of a certain government that managed to brainwash the majority of its country's population into eradicating a whole sect of men, women and children?

not that I am, but the people who you call naive, they too have a reason to call you naive then?

Yes, but the difference would be that I didn't make a rash claim, instead I backed it up with a valid point.

and my point is the same as yours...

just because a large amount of people believe something doesn't mean it's true/right

you're an atheist (i pressume.. correct if wrong) thus not believing in God aswell as lots of other people

[Teabags]

I think that people look towards a greater power or god for comfort to scapegoat the inexplicable.

I think that as elements cannot be created or destroyed that they were always in exsistance and that our universe is in a black hole which explains it evergrowing and eventually in time it will create another big bang, erasing all exisistance before simply restarting the same process.

Yep I'm an atheist, but I don't see how your point is the same as mine; I'm not an atheist just because there are a large amount of atheists. I was a catholic until I was about 16 due to my upbringing, and that was only because of my parents' upbringing. I started becoming an atheist over a period of about 2 years. At first I still hoped there was a god even though I really didn't think there was. It's only really recently I've stopped even hoping because I just know there isn't. Yes I know I don't have proof therefore I can't claim to "know" it, but it's just how I feel.

Basically this decision is based on my own logic after considering the "evidence" put before me and to revert back to my original quote, the Bible is not sufficient evidence for me, nor would I imagine it to be for anyone else with a bit of common sense.

Sometimes I ask myself if God will ever forgive us for what we've done to each other. Then I realize, God left this place a long time ago.
