Happy St George's Day

[StillSpike]

It is just as well I don't believe there's a God, because if I did I would have had to conclude that he/she is either a sadist or a maniac, or a mix of both, and I would be furious.

[Thor]

Spike, but isn't more do with free will than any Devine power?

[slacker]

Sean Devine?

I always think the God of the Old Testament/Tanakh sounds like a right b*stard. A bit too keen on the smiting and revenge on wayward souls/non-believers.

Jesus was smart, he took what the Jews had built but realised it was a bit BC and rebranded The Lord for AD and managed to hint at them being the bad guys in the process.

[tuffers#1]

Too much religion in the world.

Please stop.

There cannot be a grown up in the world who knows god does not exist

Please prove that god does not exist. Thanks.

The burden of proof is on those who claim something to be true, Thor.

The lack of evidence and logical reasoning that leads to the conclusion that God probably not existing is well documented. If you want to search it out then go for it. But I have a suspicion that you're not interested in learning about things that threaten your views.

Of course, believers know this, but continue to believe on the basis that they "have faith". That's fair enough, but faith is what you have when you choose to believe in something, despite a lack of evidence or even evidence to the contrary.

Think about that for a moment. If someone was to apply that logic to most other situations they'd be called idiots. But if you do it in the context of religious/superstitious belief you get a free pass.

I have no problem if people choose to believe in a God, so long as it is not allowed to influence public life. Unless God does reveal himself and instructs us to. So, next time you speak to him Thor, please make that suggestion.

And there in a Nutshell is proof of God .
