The Existence of God

^ This. Pascal's Wager is one of the worst arguments I have ever heard (also note that it is not an argument that God actually exists, but rather an argument for the desirability of believing in God).

 

Unexplainable things happen lots of times in the world, but when you use a mystical creature to attempt at making logic to it, that is human nature. As humans, we want to understand EVERYTHING. If we can't explain something, we try to prove ourselves based on a prior knowledge, or a new element that you disclose to make yourself sound right.

Also, anyone can make a "church" community to collect numerous amounts of donations. It is one of the biggest hoax ever, or has the potential to be...

 

I strongly oppose the notion that there is any supreme being watching over us. Not going to argue though, I may not agree with them, but I repect all of your beliefs.

 

I've not seen any proof of a God and all the arguments religious believers have are so general can be used to argue the belief in a flying spaghetti monster who created the Earth .

 

i believe in god.

 

¿Porquè crees en dios?

 

I am actually, god is, in my eyes, a mythical creature. It doesn't matter how many people believe in big foot, without proof people say he isn't real, why should god be any different without any proof?

 

+1

It's the same concept, just different names on the "beings".

 

So...You're saying I can go up to you and say "I'm god, worship me or face eternal damnation" and you wouldn't question the fact that I'm god or ask for proof?

 

Many of you dont understand unlimited power.

God compared to humans is like an flea compared to a humans.

Who says heaven dosent have different laws of physics or something along those lines...

Our minds are "human" and cannot comprehend much.

 

No one would believe in your being divine, but sure, you can claim being a God.

No proof for the current one(s), no proof needed for future one(s).

 

You're presuming that God exists. How do you know that he does?

Christmas has very little to do with Christianity anymore:

In any case, the holidays I celebrate do not prove or refute the existence of a God.

 

you say "anymore" meaning it did at one time? maybe its because everyone in the world *even my self* are vering off the wrong road, and we changed a holiday? but at one time it did have to do with Christianity, personally im not going to put why or why i dont beleave in god on here because i could care less what people on this site think about me but there is evidence that christmas used to be related to Christianity

 

Yes, it used to be related to Christianity. Now, it's more of a commercial holiday, celebrated by most people, whether Christian or not.

 

Christmas was heavily influenced by Pagan traditions. In ancient Babylon, the feast of the Son of Isis (the Goddess of Nature) was celebrated on December 25th. Over-eating and drinking, gift-giving and singing related songs were traditions of this party. In present day, Christmas is generally only celebrated because it's a tradition in the western world. I doubt even the majority of Christians nowadays thinks of as praising the birth of Jesus.

So yeah, how dare those atheists celebrate your plagiarized holiday.

 

I hope you realize that it is a very real and extremely probable possibility that Christmas was originally a Pagan festival.

Anyhow, celebrating it does not in any way encourage the belief of God, nor its disbelief. It is simply a colloquial tradition nowadays.

On another note: I actually dislike Christmas.

 

All of you that do believe in a god, look up Mormonism and Scientology. Both are so obviously fake, who says this is not the same for Christianity? Somebody 2009 years ago decided to make up a religion and write a novel about it.
