Is God really real? page 49

When something is not proven, it is more likely it is not real than it being real. In essence, you are right we “can’t” say he is not real, but we can’t say anything isn’t real, because we’ll never 100% be sure something isn’t real. A “stand still” sounds like you’re right in the middle, but that’s not how it works.

but atheist theories range from sounding exactly like god to being rediculous(abiogenesis is both)

And you think that talking snakes and women being born from ribs is not ridiculous?
Abigenesis doesn’t sound “exactly like god”…that is only your interpretation. For me abiogenesis is the best current working model that can explain the beginings of life on this planet.

God is an man who did something grand and people started talking about it and words were changed and then a gullible writer decided im gonna make a religion to overthrow the king and all those who are powerful and that is how all religions were made except Buddah. Buddah was made from old sayings that told you how to act in the real world and Buddah herself was a goddess for a reason because she can give birth and was the most gentlest and beautiful thing that ever was. But it is how man acts towards each other to see what their religion really is.
NO OFFENSE MENT ONLY OPINION BASED ON BEHAVIORAL ACTS

You move onto the nature of this force. As evidence I have pointed out that Moses wrote down a very long time ago the name “I AM WHO AM”, which seems to be sufficient evidence that God is self revealing and personal. The contrary could be that Moses had a privileged royal education and was a philosophical master himself, which is almost certainly true, but would not likely convince people that the name “I AM WHO AM” was something other than God revealing his nature long before the state of philosophy could have reached such a conclusion… as Aristotle did much later.

It was a brilliant move, certainly. So abstract, so absolutist, a manifestation of identity and existence. It’s a moving thought. One, even as you suggest, recurrent with later thinkers contemplating the topic. I for one don’t find a secular conclusion balking, I see no reason to undercut ancient philosophy from such conclusions. Really, it is only a small step from the brief, mostly monotheistic, rather abstract, Atenism of Egypt. Taoism reached a very similar conclusion. Zoroastrianism had it’s principle ‘uncreated God’. Or perhaps the greatest parallel in the Hindu Brahman.

It’s an idea with a history, many people, many places, many times.

Revelations seems like a really bad mushroom trip.

Revelations makes a bit more sense if you think of it as a Resistance Rhetoric. It is about the overthrow of corrupt, earthly governments (Rome) right under the nose of well… Rome. The bombast, and metaphor serves to obscure the actual message as it is one that would cause trouble if discovered.

no.

Nobody knows if God is real or not… I’m not sure what to believe myself.

Can’t say no. You don’t have proof. Can’t say yes. You don’t have proof, but what made us on this planet supplied with natural foods and water? Something did. I’m not saying it was god. Might be. Who knows?

Science did.

Sort of.

Physics started it, chemistry set the table then biology lined the plates.

Our planet didn’t form to suit our existence, we formed to suit the existing planet. Sure it is a coincidence so many factors were right to lead to the development and supporting of life, but when you look at the number of planets it was statistically likely to happen sooner or later

Our planet didn’t form to suit our existence, we formed to suit the existing planet.

This right here. I like it. I shall steal it too!

that means that they shouldnt be christians.

have knowledge and then theorise and apply your knowledge to theories and grow. since their is no proof of a god, then christians shouldnt BE christians.

We don’t know. That’s why we believe in God. Others don’t. I don’t like it when other believers make it seem like there’s no other way than God, since obviously there are many more beliefs, and many more people without beliefs.

thats why religion exists. its how the ancient people explained things they couldnt understand. we have come a long way, wish people would just ditch this religious stuff. its usely only the bottom of the intellect ladder that are into religious nonsense. and also the mentally damaged.

Religion doesn’t work on evidence. It works on faith.
Different concepts.

It only gets problematic when religious people attempt to argue that their religion is in fact based on objective evidence.

no god or he would probably message some scientist the cure of some cancers, and yes our planet just happened to have right conditions for life to start and am sure some where out their there are more.

also when regions 1st started people would believe any thing and con men made big bucks from it more then than they do know as people now know more about things. here’s a few examples

then, some1 sale a cure for spots would simply make a cream from butter and had some random things to give it a diffident color and smell.

now people know what things really work and these cons are harder to pull off.

another thing is back then they believed that some stupid things cleaned hair like our own body waste.

know its 2012 these believes are stil on going as parent bring their kids up with it then they do same with thier ect like we still do with local stories and legends.

God is real, but the theory is illogical. See, some people believe in God, other’s don’t. One of them is doing something wrong, if there was or wasn’t. Anyway, we don’t know the truth. Beliefs of gods are respectful, but you might just be praying to a block of air.

Post your ideas and thoughts, your knowledge and the truth about God here. Yes, you may be wondering, why is the amazingly famous atheist creating a thread about is God alive or not, because she thinks she knows that he doesn’t? Well, the answer to that is I wanna know your opinions.

Yeah he exists.

A minor contribution to spur the movement

also, please attend to ignoring the minutiae of the accursed swearing, of which, although all are accustomed with, not all are comfortable reading

Christ is real. There’s proof!

Except that Christ is not God.
