The Skeptics Claim, "“There is No Evidence for God’s Existence” [Spirituality & Religion]

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIKdHx9IoKQ]

Skeptics, do not bring up any 'gods' you claim not to believe in. It is in your best interest that I'm telling you not to bring up those 'gods.'

You're running away from the challenge to prove your god exists and/or the other gods don't again.

You expect others to believe in your god unless they can prove it ('it' refers to your god in case you've forgotten again) doesn't. Therefore, unless you're a lying hypocrite applying double standards, you must believe in all other gods and mythical beings that you can't prove don't exist. Whether I believe in them or not is irrelevant but I do apply the same standard to all of them.

@GodSpeed63 Once you show for your claims, then you'll have evidence that The Flying Spaghetti Monster lives and Its Word is true. Until then you're just whistling in the wind making a fool of yourself. r'Amen

@Sharon [quote]Once you show for your claims,[/quote]

Just get to work showing evidence for your claims and stop with bringing up gods that you don't believe in anyways. This may boost your character some.

@GodSpeed63 How about you offering some evidence to support your claims for once? You've been asked often enough and failed every time. A bit of evidence might give you a bit of credibility, you don't have much at the moment.

[quote]stop with bringing up gods that you don't believe in anyways[/quote]
What's your problem? Can't you prove they don't live? In that case, you better get used to having them around.
@MrBrownstone [quote]There are many books about Harry Potter so he is real[/quote]

There are many books about a lot of things, but God is the one who gave those who are real adults, the good sense to distinguish reality from fantasy, so this inclination to compare God with fairytales, is so childish and I would think, embarrassing to oneself, to say the least. If you don't know the difference between Santa Claus and the days when your father dressed up like Santa Claus, by now, there's something terribly wrong. So let's stop this charade and ask some real questions. You can surely come up with something better than that. However, it's clear that no matter what evidence you may be presented with, it would still never be enough for you, since your agenda seems only to be argumentative. We could get so much further if we could talk about the [b]real[/b] reasons why you think God is not real, instead of these side-slings that mean, and solve, nothing.

Nah. YOU don't get to tell ME what's in my best interest. Stay in your lane.

@GodSpeed63 I've explained it to you twice now but you've obviously forgotten because of your failing memory.

@Sharon [quote]I've explained it to you twice[/quote]

And you still haven't gotten it right.
Sharon · F
@GodSpeed63 Obviously your memory has failed you again, or perhaps it's your lack of comprehension skills.

@GodSpeed63 Unless you can prove it (that's your false god yahweh in case you've forgotten again) is real, it's no different from those gods you claim are false.
GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M
@Sharon [quote]Unless you can prove it[/quote]

First, prove that your false god 'it' exists.
Sharon · F
@GodSpeed63 Stop acting even more stupid than you are. I have made it abundantly clear that "it" refers to that false god you call "yahweh". Here is is again - [quote]Unless you can prove it ([b]that's your false god yahweh in case you've forgotten again[/b]) is real,...[/quote]

What is "God"?
GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M
@walabby [quote]Matthew 1:16 says that Joseph's father was Jacob.
Luke 3:23 says that Joseph's father was Eli.[/quote]

Matthew taught the lineage of Jesus from the side of Joseph being a descendant of Jacob. Joseph's father was in fact Heli as is told in Luke.

[quote]2, Matthew 2:13 says that Joseph, Mary and Jesus fled to Egypt to get away from King Herod the Great. Luke 2:22 has Jesus being presented to the temple in Jerusalem because he is the first born son, as per the Law.[/quote]

So?

[quote]3, Mark 14:12 has the first day of the festival of unleavened bread, (Passover) on the Thursday, the Passover meal being that night with Jesus being arrested after the meal and crucified the next day. John 18:28 has Jesus before Pilate late Thursday night, and makes it clear that the Passover meal has not been eaten yet. John 19:14 says that it was on the day of preparation for the Passover that Jesus was crucified, i.e. Friday... The next day began at sundown, so Passover was Friday night. [/quote]

So? John went into more detail on how Jesus was crucified.

[quote]Matthew 27:46 Around the ninth hour, Jesus shouted in a loud voice, saying "Eli Eli lama sabachthani?" which is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
John 19:30 Jesus said, "It is finished" Luke 23:46 And speaking in a loud voice, Jesus said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit".[/quote]

So? Jesus said all those things as He was dying on the cross.

[quote]6, Judas Iscariot's death? In Matthew 27:5 Judas hangs himself. In Acts 1:18 he bursts open and his insides spill out.[/quote]

So? In case you hadn't noticed, ropes do break.

[quote]7,
According to Luke 24:51, Jesus' ascension took place in Bethany, on the same day as his resurrection. According to Acts 1:9-12, Jesus' ascension took place at Mount Olivet, forty days after his resurrection.[/quote]

If you'd done research, Mt. Olivet is in the region of Bethany.

[quote].... and you could probably just read Genesis yourself...[/quote]

I've read Genesis, there are no contradictions.

Any questions?

@GodSpeed63 Matthew said that Joseph's father was Jacob.

Matthew 1:16
New International Version

16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, and Mary was the mother of Jesus who is called the Messiah.

Luke said Joseph's father was Heli..
Luke 3:23
New International Version

23 Now Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry. He was the son, so it was thought, of Joseph,
the son of Heli,

I think that's pretty plain.

My Olivet may well be in the region of Bethany, but the 39 day difference on when it happened is harder to ignore...

You guys have had 2000 years practice in making excuses.. I'm done here.

@walabby [quote]ou guys have had 2000 years practice in making excuses.. I'm done here.[/quote]

I gave you those answers already. Why do you need to hear them again? Do you want to become a son of God?
For those who believe...God exists
@Emosaur Exactly! Heed your own words please.

@Pinkstarburst [quote]For those who believe...God exists[/quote]
For those who believe...whatever they believe in exists.
@Sharon I agree
