ODIE: If it were not so, he would not be God!
it is amazing how something so alegedly powerful (God) is so absoloutly un-detectable
I wonder about that myself.
Maybe because you're looking in all the wrong places, like science labs and test tubes!!:)
Enjoy your arguement for arguement's sake!
I have no trouble finding Him and He has no trouble finding me. You must be the problem.Chip
As I said God seems to only exist in the minds of the believers. Asylums are full of people who believe things and/or have faith in something
I think that people of religion "need" to believe in something, firstly in a social way, and then in a social, personal and psychological sense
I admit I do need something to believe in.
To think that this life is all there is to our existance. That we are no more than carbon based life forms whose main purpose is to procreate to further our evolving species. That once someone passes on, that we will never see, hear, touch, or feel them again. That there isn't such a thing as a soul...
What's your motivation for life? What is it that gives you comfort when someone passes on? What about your own mortality?
I think I would go insane if I didn't believe in God's plan and the Afterlife.

Why would you want to go on living through suffering if there were no purpose to life?
Why suffer at all?
I am curious about something:
Of all the self-professed Christians and 'Believers' on Optiboard, what denominations do you claim? Baptists, Catholics? What are you?
Catholic. (With all the guilt to prove it!):D
why?
Sorry but no. Not if you're pro-gay marriage. You are what's known as a "Cafeteria Catholic." You pick and choose what tastes good and reject the rest.
whats that got to do with athiesm Vs religion? just shows you religious sorts are more factional than I thought
Why do you think there has to be suffering at all????
Because Buddha said so.
Now that...is real comedy. Thanks, drk. I needed that today.
I'm sorry. I missed the announcement that you are the arbiter of my religious affiliation and faith. Imagine my surprise.
when you all finish arguing amongst yourselves.. why not try to explain to me what proof you have of god existing
Why don't you prove that there is no God? According to him you could look quite foolish trying to do that. GO FOR IT!
well Bill we covered this earlier, but..
a. There is no substantive evidence of God or any of his alledged works
b. Athiests do not believe in god, so we feel there is nothing to prove or dis-prove. It is you claiming to believe in something, so start proving it
c. when born, the Inate human does not believe in anything, and is by default an athiest, untill belief is taught by society or parants
d. all arguments by the religious camp are full of holes, and only work with faith
e. the scriptures used by the religious are firstly ancient and poorly translated, and secondly, not accepted to be 100% correct
Ohhdie, Oh Ohhdie. The damn rock you are standing on is evidence of His works.
chm was the one who announced "I am Catholic" like its a badge of honor, meanwhile she's been a vocal supporter of gay marriage. That's like declaring you're a member of GreenPeace and then dumping oil in the Pacific.
so easy to say, but so hard to prove... go on - prove the rock i stand on is evidence of his works
