Why Can't Skeptics Accept The Fact That God Lives?

[media=https://youtu.be/JaR-skui5HQ]

Skeptics claim that God doesn't live, and yet, offer no support for that claim. God has proven Himself to mankind time and again, and yet, skeptics keep asking for more, or so it seems. Like fools, a lot of them do not care for the truth.

Skeptics keep claiming the Word of God is a fairy tale and the historical accounts in it are myths. Yet they still do not offer any support for what they think is true when confronted with the actual Truth of God.

All they are able to do is make futile attempts to discredit God and His Word and us who believe. The tactics they use are irrational, unintelligent, and far being logical. They do more harm to themselves than they do us. All we can do is pray for them to have their eyes opened to the Truth of God as our eyes have been opened.

Which version of God? Just within Christianity, look at all the different denominations; Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Anglican, and many more. Outside of Christianity you have Jewish, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Wiccan, etc.

Whenever someone asks me if I believe in God I always reply Which one?

Your side is the one making the claim for proof of God. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

You cannot point to one piece of provable, verified evidence of God. What you do is [i]interpret signs[/i], and that's fine. But it's not the truth. It's [i]your [/i]truth.

You cannot prove the Bible was written by anyone but men, you cannot provide testable evidence of a God or spirit being. You can only believe.

Faith doesn't need to be scientifically proven, but it also can't be dragged into that realm by those trying to prove something. I welcome you to provide one single irrefutable, demonstrable piece of data. Do that and my respect for you will be immense.

This one has had enough. It’s just not worth my time to respond to an irrational attention seeker anymore.

I don't pray to your old white man in the clouds, whowasthatmaskedman, I pray to the Lord God Almighty who lives forever.

You couldn't draw your next breath without His say so, Doc. God is the one that gave you life. Without Him, there'd be no life.

Other civilizations around during the time of “The Flood” make no mention of it, and there is no break in their histories that such a disaster would entail. 🤷‍♀️

JP1119 · 36-40, M

@AbbySvenz I thought I saw somewhere on TV that almost every civilization on earth has a Great Flood myth. Not that that in any way proves the existence of God, just saying.

Zaphod42 · 46-50, M

I don’t recall seeing that every civilization around the world does, but certainly every civilization from the Mesopotamian area does, and for good reason. There’s strong evidence that several millennia ago the straights of Gibraltar were a solid wall holding back the ocean, and then it broke flooding the entire region. @JP1119

Bushranger · 70-79, M

And when you are shown the evidence, you claim it's false. Tell us all, what evidence would you accept?

Of course I don't really expect a straight answer from you. My opinion of you has been coloured by past experience.

Let me ask you this in all seriousness: Do you believe in the Loch Ness monster?

How's that?

Graylight · 51-55, F

@GodSpeed63 It's a contradiction. A failed paradox. You cannot state something has been proven again and again and then state the evidence can't see seen.

FALSE!!! Crack open that dictionary and look up 'skeptic.'

What skeptics actually claim is that it hasn't been [i]proven[/i] that any God exists. And they'll mostly claim it hasn't been [i]disproven[/i] yet either! Another of your straw man fallacies bites the dust, [b]LOL!!![/b]

Yeah we do. We ran every test that identifies the word “life” and god failed each one. Therefore, by the standard, recognized , legal, and medical definitions of “ life” god isn’t alive.
You can’t prove otherwise, so you lose again.

[media=https://youtu.be/gagLeZn0uFE]

As [b]demonstrated [/b] it is in fact possible to show Yahweh is not alive, simply by holding him up to the acknowledged definitions of life. Once again you’ve failed in your attempts to appear clever. Yahweh, if he is alive, should have picked a better advocate .

redredred · M

The god idea is an untested hypothesis unworthy of the status of theory since it has never passed the sort of test that theories like evolution of passed. It’s a sketchy idea about invisible, immeasurable, semi-magical forces that have never been demonstrated clinically.

PiecingBabyFaceTogether · 26-30

I'm glad God gets to hire his own lawyers like you to defend him. Why do you care too much about what everyone thinks? Can't you be quiet about your faith and accept that people can actually have different opinions?

WintaTheAngle · 41-45, M

Because it’s not a fact.

According to you, since you have no evidence to go with it.

ServantOfTheGoddess · 61-69, M

Your posts all seem to follow the same pattern: you claim that "skeptics" have no evidence, when in fact they have massive amounts.

I believe in God, but there are many reasons why many people don't. A great deal of thought has gone into this over centuries, and it doesn't make sense to just pretend otherwise.

@Sharon To be fair I've found some atheists pushy and arrogant too.
And in defence of all pushy arrogant people, if you really believe that only your beliefs are true, then you kind of have a duty to push them on everyone else, right? Because who should be left without the truth? :D

Sharon · F

@ServantOfTheGoddess There's a difference between explaining one's beliefs and threatening others with eternal torture if they fail to share those beliefs.

ServantOfTheGoddess · 61-69, M

@Sharon I agree and yet if you really believed that they were doomed to eternal torture if they didn't share your beliefs, wouldn't you want to save them?? I know I would. Fortunately I don't believe there is any eternal torture awaiting anyone.

Reality offers all the support us atheists need.

[quote] Skeptics claim that God doesn't live,[/quote]

No, they claim [b]god doesn’t exist [/b]To say god doesn’t live, may imply that at some point he did. So if we say god doesn’t exist, all we have to do, is show you no god. All you have to do to refute us, is show us god.
We’ve met our burden of proof, let’s see you meet yours.

When have you ever shown the truth, or come up with a honest answer ? You still haven’t explained why god lied in the book of genesis

Our attempts weren’t futile, you have no credibility, or evidence. Or truth for that matter.

DocSavage · M

It’s probably due to all the CSI crime scene photos Atheist put up refuting your mythological fables and the fact that you never , ever present any actual facts or evidence, that hasn’t been debunked decades ago.

Zaphod42 · 46-50, M

Believers claim god exists, but offer no proof to the claim. It cuts both ways 🤷‍♂️

@Entwistle I don’t dismiss the idea of an ineffable being actually existing simply because it can’t be proven or disproven. I am however very skeptical that anyone on earth can actually define the motivations of such a creature, assuming such a thing is real.

Entwistle · 56-60, M

@Zaphod42 Ideas are fine.
But that's all they are.

GerOttman · 61-69, M

I just want you to know that whatever our difference on this subject, I love you man! Without reservation or qualification, and all the rest of you crazy believer folk. We just don't agree and there be no use hating over it. You can't prove the existence or non existence of God and to do so in either case would be a paradox of epic proportion! God exists outside of proof, you believe or you don't. I can't tell a lie about it just to seem agreeable. That would be very dishonest, which I hope we both try very hard to avoid.

Be well, namaste!

Where and how? Unless you give precise, verifiable examples, the only logical conclusion is that you're lying again.

Regardless, I'm happier since I gave it all up. No way in hell I'm ever going back

SatanBurger · 36-40, F

I'm not sure if believers can accept that everything in the bible was written by men who claim to speak for god rather than actually it being god so it makes the evidence for god a little flimsy. I'm actually not atheist by the way but it doesn't make sense for either side to say they know.

Well if God has spoken to you then It's for you. It makes no sense to argue with a non believer.

Why can't you accept the fact that I have an invisible dragon in my garage who heats my house in the winter?

@LordShadowfire He doesn't even offer any support for his non-belief ether. Therefore, the fact remains that there is an invisible dragon in your garage who heats your house in the winter.

ImperialAerosolKidFromEP · 46-50, M

Using terms like "fairy tale" is intellectually basic, but can go along way to dismissing something you don't like. And if you can say things like the fine-tuned universe theory [i]dis[/i]proves God, then that makes for a [i]lot [/i]of room to dismiss God.
