Proof and existence are different. You can't prove something without evidence, but something can exist independent of human reckoning. That doesn't mean it's epistemologically responsible to believe in things that can't be proven though.

I'd like to pass a law that all men must dress accordingly based solely on which side of the tracks they live on. Wouldn't want our women being besmirched by them greaser punks.
Pack mindset, I can see that.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Life without religious conflict would be even more boring.

Asking to both groups.
It's not an attack to point out there is no proof God exists.

You usually don't stop there, for instance.

They do support the argument. Did you watch the videos you posted?

No. Deductive reasoning is generally not used in natural philosophy because we don't have a proper understanding of nature.
Yes, and the conclusion even if logically correct can't be tested. So there's no way to test how false it might be.
Given that you understand the flaws in deductive reasoning, why would you try an attempt to use it as a way to prove god's existence?

Blind faith is real faith. The Bible teaches this.
The point to this topic was not to bring the bible into discussion as the only proof available.

Faith leads to rigidity in thinking, that's pretty much its purpose.

I get the feeling that when Star makes it to Heaven, even God will think he's a tw*t.

God himself reaffirming his existence.
I don't think that's too much to ask for if he wants our devotion.

Yeah, they're usually the first to talk contemptuously about other groups.
It's a back and forth.

God exists and he despises us.
Take comfort in that.

So if nothing short of that will suffice, why make the thread? Nothing but God Himself will sway you it seems
