Does God Exist?

[Sir Alec]

So you're a hypocrite that uses easy examples?

Sadly yes.

I got a penis

if camilla parker bowles gave it to you, it's mine. give it back.

[Assassin]

I think religious mass murder and political mass murder both come from insanity and irrational prejudices.

But religion gives them an excuse to do the wrong things.
As I say though, religion does not irritate me...once it doesn't irritate me.

GOD knows you're a weird man, HIM.

But Stalin and Mao had excuses as well: Their murders were justified to them because they were supposed to be necessary for the greater good.

But since we can never know what portion of the potentially available knowledge is actually available in the circumstances, we can pretty much throw common sense out the window as a useful concept.

Don't walk out in front of a car is common sense, but it can also be proved scientifically that it's a bad idea. Using "common sense" on matters that can't be tested scientifically is worthless and lets people indulge their prejudice.

Do you mean when people use the argument of common sense in order to validate their believes?

How can you talk about scientific evidence and common sense like that? Common sense is the furthest thing from the concept of science. It was once common sense that the earth was the center of the universe.

I meant a bit of both, not one equals the other.

What is God? If you mean is there a big giant man in the sky with a white beard who punishes bad people then Hell no.

[Riah Shusher]

I would have voted 99% sure he didn't if it had been an option.

This is how I would have voted as well, I will grant that we can never be 100% sure (hence my vote of 75%), but the existence of God (as preached by every organized religion I'm familiar with) seems to me to be extremely unlikely.

He punishes quite a few good people, too. That's His signature move.

Where are the links to those threads? Who showed their legs? Who showed their boobies? Who is gross? Who does what with their pubes? I don't have problems with constipation because I get enemas.

Whether it exists or not has nothing to do with whether you believe in it or not.

true.

I'm an atheist with regards to all the gods various religions believe in.
I think there could be a possibility that there is some uncomphrensible superior being or force beyond us, but of course that's hard to tell. I'll know when I'm dead. Maybe. Sure, you can't disprove god. But you only need a very simple Richard Dawkins argument about a teapot to counter that.

Personally I find religion useless, backward and restrictive. I think now because it has become so marginalised, the few remaining are becoming far more fundamental and extreme in their views. I mean it still makes me laugh how not a single religion seems to understand or accept homosexuality as something that just happens and always will happen.

Often I can see the value of religion. A lot of people who have had many problems in their life usually turn to religion to rejuvinate themselves and they benefit greatly from it. And that's fine.

But when it begins to infringe on my liberties, then I take issue.

good post.

I love you my dear, but you outta stop tanning, it's not good for your skin.

[JoyDiv007]

I haven't believed in God since I was a kid.

[mauve21]

It's all about what you think really isn't it, because someone had to
spread "God's word" didn't they. So what if they were just making it
all up. It's very groovy and lovely all that piety but at the end of
the day noone really knows what happens.
Not even the people who have been resuscitated and claim to see the
golden lights or whatever, because that's just a lovely side effect of lack
of oxygen......
Me no know about God. However, I do believe in a guiding force in the universe.
I do believe in karma.
I do believe it matters is you are naughty or good.
That's all.......

"I'm far too provincial to answer that question.." Ha, ha. Anyhow.. I cannot click on the bottom option as much as I want to for not having surveyed the cosmos in entirety I cannot honestly say I am 100% positive there is no God, but if it was a horse I would bet on it. I can't wait for the day humanity shakes off these antiquated dogmas and embraces reason.

[Dave]

Sadly yes.

I didn't mean to pick on you. Sorry. Sadly, I am a jerk that likes to argue, and I don't always think about people's feelings.

It's no problem friend! I was joking as well. I've just been down on my luck lately, so I'm a bit sensitive. I try to see it in a good light: At least I'm not one of those poor workers that made the slippers I'm currently wearing.

I think you'll be waiting a long time then
