| We all know it's BS. People claim God cured them when they were receiving treatment. How come God doesn't cure AIDS, Hepatitis C, regrow amputated legs, Get rid of Guinea worm, etc.? It's because there is no God to get rid of those things. |

Hes too tied up with their small personal prayers that don't really amount to anything... |

Funny how God's divine advice always seems to coincide with someones political agenda.
You should check out the stories about the Holy Lance in the Crusades. It's like listening to George Bush and Tony Blair talk about how God told them to invade Iraq.
It is also a reflection on how naïve many religious people are. So many swallow it. |

If religious people were stupid that would explain everything...But they are not which makes the whole thing mind boggling... |

Yes because you're so much more well thought out. It must take a long time to have an arguement such as: "Religious people are stupid..." You sir, are f**king brilliant, bravo! :roll: :roll: |

Maybe I am more well thought out than you...And the statement say religious people are not stupid...Which to me some of their statements especially when quoting bible passages are mind boggling to me.. |

For a lack of facts, actually. There is no evidence to suggest that God exists - and there never has been.
If you want to believe in unicorns, that's your choice. |

Irrelevant, and a very weak argument withstanding it's irrelevancy. You might as well be arguing that since there is no evidence to suggest that hamsters with 10,000 legs don't exist, they must exist. We call that a logical fallacy. |

The evidence is there is none that he exist so that would equate to non existence. |

The evidence is there is none that he exist so that would equate to non existence. I guess my problem with the rash of "God doesn't exist, you can't prove it" childish threads going on right now is this: Why on earth do you people care whether people believe God exists or don't? You seem to be going out of your way to throw these little tantrums of insulting the beliefs of people. Really, what is the point of all of this? You aren't going to convince any believers to see it your way. |

Like I have said before I'm only here to hopefully hear something I have not heard before...I so far have not ...In reality I'm not here to convince any believers to see it my way...I'm trying to hear something that might change my mind...And untill I hear it there simply can not be a God just for the point of saying there is one.. |
