Who made up religion? [Spirituality & Religion]

@LeopoldBloom Nah... even that is to much credit

@LeopoldBloom [quote]Man invented God, then God invented religion.[/quote]

Prove it.

@GodSpeed63 First, you prove that God exists outside of your imagination. Objective, verifiable proof, not just pointing to the Bible or natural phenomena.

Yahweh already proved that He lives. It's your job to prove that He doesn't live.

@GodSpeed63 You can't prove a negative. Prove that the Tooth Fairy doesn't exist. If someone makes an extraordinary claim, it's on them to provide evidence. If someone says the Tooth Fairy exists, I'm going to need more proof than just them saying they found a coin under their pillow after leaving a tooth there.

If "Yahweh" proved that he lives, then please share that proof. Or better yet, ask "Yahweh" to manifest himself in the room I'm in right now.

@LeopoldBloom [quote]You can't prove a negative.[/quote]

Is that the best you can do is to label Yahweh a negative? Not a good start off point.

@GodSpeed63 The Flying Spaghetti Monster already proved that It lives. It's your job to prove that It doesn't live.

@Sharon [quote] It's your job to prove that It doesn't live.[/quote]

Yahweh already prove He's the only God.

@GodSpeed63 Wrong again. The Flying Spaghetti Monster has proven It lives, so it's up to you to prove It doesn't.

r'Amen.

@GodSpeed63 ... according to super fans like you 😅

At least in Lord of the Rings, it's clear that Bilbo and Frodo and Sam wrote the story... at least, when you quote the book.

As you're so fond of saying to others, prove it!

@Sharon [quote]As you're so fond of saying to others, prove it![/quote]

He already did.

@GodSpeed63 did he sign your copy?

@Kwek00 [quote]did he sign your copy?[/quote]

On my heart.

@GodSpeed63 Oh my, that's so cute.

That's where Frodo and Sam signed me too.
Bilbo has a place right here... on my liver.

@GodSpeed63 [quote]He already did.[/quote]
Where? I expect you're falsely claiming The Flying Spaghetti Monster's creation is the work of your false god again. It won't wash.

r'Amen.

@Sharon [quote]Where?[/quote]

16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16

16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” 18 And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain. 19 And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but [k]holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

2 Peter 1:16-21

In His Word.

@GodSpeed63 Still waiting for proof or a personal appearance. Stories written by Bronze Age goatherds who didn't know where the sun went at night don't count.

If manifesting God is beyond your capacity, then please prove the Tooth Fairy doesn't exist.

@GodSpeed63 Quoting from a book of fairy tales only proves you don't have any real evidence to support your ridiculous assertion.

@Sharon [quote]Quoting from a book of fairy tales[/quote]

I don't have a book fairy tales like you do.

@GodSpeed63 [quote]I don't have a book fairy tales like you do.[/quote]
You do, you just quoted from it. What book of fairy tales do you say I have?

@Sharon [quote]You do[/quote]

You've been reading fairy tales too much. Try reading a real book for a change like the Word of God.

@GodSpeed63 [quote] Try reading a real book for a change like the Word of God.[/quote]
I do read real books, containing factual information. As you've been unable to produce any evidence that your god even exists, that thing you like to call "the word of god" is no more than a collection of myths, superstitions, contradictions and plain factual errors.
