This question was of course a figment of the imagination of some secularists who had their head screwed on the wrong way. The question is if course as stupid as the idiots who go on about the flying spaghetti monster. God is of course eternal and has now the beginning no end therefore cannot die. He does not cease to exist because people stop believing in him.

god is of course a figment of the imagination of some easily indoctrinated people who have their heads screwed on the wrong way. god is of course imaginary. god has and will always be imaginary. Just because someone said in a book it exists doesn’t mean it’s real.
@Speedyman listen Darth Sidious. You have every right to your own opinion, but there’s no need for name calling.

The hate is strong in you.

Prove there is no God. Prove that all the wonderful creativity around us came from blind forces@Emosaur

@Temporallube The hate in me is for ignorance not for people. I just hate ignorance and uninformed opinions. Always amazes me how are atheists like to put their hate on the Internet and when someone shows them how ill informed their opinions are they accuse that person of hate ! Real sign of projection

Interesting how gullible people swallow the nonsense which is atheism . There is absolutely no proof of atheism whatever and every indication that there is an intelligent designer of the universe yet people still gullibly swallow the absolute nonsense that the atheist parade before them@wilderflower
@Speedyman

You are so right, my faithful brother!

I know exactly what you mean, they just don’t understand our faith is still paramount despite the overwhelming evidence of evolution.

I mean our confession of faith will always trump provable and reliable methods of scientific inquiry! They are so dumb to question our walk.

Believing in our unseeable and most holy deity is the only way! To hell with empirical data, which has given us a better understanding of the world from since yesteryear!

We will hold onto our faith and represent our God!

Ramen!
@Speedyman It’s also interesting how gullible people swallow the nonsense that is theism. There’s absolutely no proof of the god you talk about. That’s why you have faith. But a lot of theists mistakenly think faith is reality. Dangerous thinking.

Believing in a God is not gullibility at all any more than believing that a car had a designer. It is gullible people like you who swallow the notion that nothing can make something and that unguided forces can produce design when we all know that design is always the result of intelligence. Atheism is the result of ignorance and lack of intelligence@wilderflower
Speedyman · 70-79, M
@Emosaur prove it then beyond any doubt. The thing is you can't because atheism is based on ignorance. The only reason you do not believe in God is because you are ignorant of the arguments. Prove to me that Beethoven's fifth symphony can write itself and I will believe that the whole of design of the universe can happen from nothing. Atheism is something that comes from man's ignorance not from his knowledge
@Speedyman that’s right. We must keep our faith in our God. My faith in The Flying Spaghetti Monster will never die!


Ramen!

@Speedyman You can meet and talk to a car designer because that’s a real person. You don’t have to try to convince anyone they’re real because they are! When was the last time you met and talked with Santa Claus?
Speedyman · 70-79, M
He says I suspect you know absolutely nothing. Your arguments do not make sense and a total fairytales. Why don't you go and shake your fist at imaginary fairies at the bottom of your garden? You might even meet Richard Dawkins there. Those and educated desert people certainly had it right for people like you when they said that only fools say in their heart that there is no God. @Emosaur
Speedyman · 70-79, M
@wilderflower yes but we are dealing with the real world that was created . Unless you believe that the world around you was imaginary as Santa Claus? Mind you an atheist might as all you're thinking is totally illogical
@Speedyman My point is asking was to equate Santa to god. Both are imaginary figures created by man as a way of controlling others through instilling fear and raising false hopes.

Did you leave out something in that last sentence?

Just think you and Richard Dawkins could spout the same atheist rubbish at the same time. It is quite obvious that fool say in their heart there is no God because you say that nothing created something and only a fool would say that. It just shows your lack of understanding that you asked question three because of course God is eternal and has now the beginning no end. Your problem is as I say that atheism is created from ignorance not knowledge. That old book you despise says that people thinking themselves what is become fools. It is talking about people like you@Emosaur

@Speedyman [quote]there is no God[/quote]

Well, I’m an atheist and I have [i]never[/i] said that.
Does that make me wise in creationist eyes?

[quote]nothing created something and only a fool would say that[/quote]

Your god created itself from nothing, did it?

[quote]God is eternal[/quote]

What does the lifespan of your god have to do with where t came from?
Speedyman · 70-79, M
Of course you said there is no God if you are an atheist. As I have often said that the God I serve is eternal. Just because we can't get a tiny brains around the concept doesn't mean to say can't be true. That is the problem with atheists in that I can't think outside their own little box@newjaninev2
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@Speedyman Don’t tell me what I have and have not said. Pay attention! I have [i]never[/i] said that there is no god.

1. there's no proof that gods exist (otherwise we'd all be theists)
2. there's no proof that gods don't exist (they might be lurking around a mountain-top somewhere)
3. in any event, there's [i]no compelling necessity[/i] to even postulate gods, and the postulation explains nothing... it merely tries to explain everything away.
4. therefore, I have no gods (I’m an agnostic atheist)

[b]Where in there do I say that there is no god?[/b]
Speedyman · 70-79, M
Of course there is proof that God exists. There is no absolute proof but then there is no absolute proof of anything outside of the realm of mathematics. But if you look at the design and creation is quite obvious there is a intelligent designer. Atheism is of course not intellectual but emotional and moral, in that you don't want a God interfering in your life. The problem is the God you don't believe in I don't believe in either. You get the strawmen as gods and it's no wonder you don't believe in them because that's all they are. The nations gods are idols. If you say you are an atheist then the definition of an atheist is someone who says there is no God @newjaninev2

@Speedyman [quote]there is proof that God exists[/quote]

Then please present your proof so that we may all become theists.

[quote]design and creation[/quote]

I will repeat... sex and death within a constantly changing environment get the job done without the need to postulate magical entities.

[quote]Atheism is of course not intellectual but emotional and moral[/quote]

Please point out the emotion and morality within the four points that I posted

[quote]the definition of an atheist is someone who says there is no God[/quote]

Apparently not... or can you point out where I have said such a thing?

Or do you feel I am not an atheist?
@Speedyman
[quote]Of course there is proof that god exists[/quote]

You and Godspeed say that over and over, and over and over you don’t provide any proof! When someone asks for it you call them a fool. Calling someone a fool doesn’t prove the existence of your imaginary friend. It only shows you have nothing to back your claim.
