No. Good is a point of view. Its a self-perception.

Nothing you mentioned proves god, let alone your god in the slightest.


And nothing you mentioned disproves him. Draw. You see you can't win and neither can I...yet...

😆 please...logic disproves god.

Or being more specific, the chance of their being a god is almost zero. The chance of tha t god being yours, is too small to wrap ones brain around.

The chance of the universe and matter creating itself...0... Once again its a draw by your own measure.
Logic does not disprove God in any way, or else it would have been done by now.

Perhaps you're just late to the party.

Or the party doesn't exist because logic cannot disprove God.

I actually agree with you here 👆

The only thing I have to say is that just because there may be a creator for this universe, does not automatically mean that the Christian God is it.

There have been many "gods" in mythos before that, and I am pretty sure beings on other worlds far from here have had thier own versions of who the creator is.

The Christian God strikes me as limitted and immature. Sorry, but i never bought into it.

However, their may be some reflection of truth in Biblical version of God. Perhaps our universal creator leaves remnants of his or her existance in every mythos and psyche possible.

Strong Athiests and Literalist Christians are equally closed minded in my opinion. It's kinda sad....this is why we are all at conflict. No one is willing to admit they MIGHT be wrong.

Religion is definately bad even though is has some good things also, but all the good things are available without being religious.
Religion make people not use their common sense and instead follow what the religion tells them to do.
Religion and God(s) are man made just like Santa, Vampires, unicorns, ghost etc - Religion is old and did not developed with the world (a little but not enough - especially Islam). Being religious is a huge mistake - but if people need this then it is okay by me - as long as the religion stay home and is not out in politics and influences other peoples life. And it is okay to criticize religion as with all other things in life.

Which means your pour soul is at risk as well.

No God doesn't mean the universe created itself.

The violance caused by religion is a poor excuse to hate it, like violance isn't done for money, women, power, emotions, are we to smash all those as well?

Learn to be a man and just deal with what life deals you. I find more athiests using a lack of religion to permit them to do whatever they damn well please. Infact, they live in more fear then the religious. Religious people both fear but love God. Like a stern parent.

The athiests simply fear the state. Thier depravity is limited only to the laws of the land. Which is pretty sad. It should be the exact oppisite, an athiest should realize that his actions have infinite consequinces and be more respectful then the religious who believe life is cheapend through reincarnations, an afterlife, and God's forgiveness.

But no, it is instead the athiests who are pro-choice, sexualy promiscuies, and generaly not decent people. Not to say there isn't decent athiests, or that there aren't depraved religious people, but I'm not basing this post on the minority but the majority. And the majority of athiests are very much worse then the majority of religious people. They base thier lives based on "hendonism". Which is an eccentric way of saying someone is greedy, lustful, peverse, and malice.

An athiest's dogma should be that it does not matter what resides on the other side, cause there might not be an other side at all. But to be a good person in this life, and do whatever you can to make this life better for everybody and to improve yourself so you are better equipped to help people. We have to make the most of this life, and treating our life like a dirty dumpster where we throw all our cravings and attachments isn't going to solve anything.

In essence, athiests should be Buddhists, but instead are neo-Satanists.

Storm, don't listen to him. He's another zealot who will remain closed to any reasoning you happen to offer.

Anything that promotes violence is not deserving of respect.

Religion has been one of the top instigators for nation wide violence. Therefore it gets no respect from myself and many other people. ❌

You should never fear God. You should never FEAR someone who loves you.

Religious people tend to abuse thier religion, just as much as Atheists tend to abuse thier sense of moral freedom, because many religious people will do bad things to hurt people, and justify it by saying thier religion allows or encourages it.

You really don't know what you are talking about, do you ? Your massive generalizations are alarming.

Then how come the most corrupt politicians and people in power, happen to be religious ?

Religion encourages and promotes violence. Women do not. Nor does money, power emotions etc.

Yes, being liberal is sick. Unlike killing people who have different opinions and choices.

I don't even know, and I bet not many atheists here do, what hendonism is. I thought you're against atheists, sounds like you're against liberals instead.

First, learn what dogma means, second, take a few english classes, third, we already think that. It's the religious people that waste their lives. If you don't see that, you're an idiot.

How is an atheist a "neo-satanist"? And why?

Lord xyz, don't bother with him.

Green Arrow is obviously brainwashed already, since his understanding of non-religious people is SOOOOO warped and bias, it will be YEARS before he even considers the fact he may be wrong.

What good is Religion?

It's been said that religion appeared as prehistoric man's way of explaining things. It was how primitive human beings understood their universe, including those parts unseen, like any existence after death.

But religion was more than just an explanation. It brought comfort and hope. More than anything else, religion--even if there really is no God--is our way of attaching to the loftiest and noblest ideals the mind can imagine, that people can aspire to, ideals so heartwarming and uplifting that we've often done the opposite.

Eh, humans.
