What question would you ask god

I love how Atheists are all "You cannot prove God exists!!!" and when I return the sentiment, when I say "You cannot DISPROVE his existence," they blow it off, as if their way is by default, correct.

Pursuing truth, IMO, means recognizing limitations to one's philosophy. Yes, the atheist should acknowledge that "no evidence = no existence" is still an assumption, but the theist needs to recognize that--based on a foundation of reliable, demonstrable proof--neither can a transcendent philosophy stand as equal to an empirical one.

Well, the thing is, the burden of proof does rest with he who makes the claim that something exists. "No evidence = no existence" is a more reasonable assumption than "no evidence = possible existence."

To say with absolute conviction "There is no God, Christ does not exist", without being able to prove it, is unfair. Myself, I believe in Christ, durh, but I don't go around saying to others "God absolutely exists", because I cannot prove it with scientific facts. I take it on faith.

All I'm saying is that if a person is an atheist and expects a Christian to listen to their reasons why they are atheist, they should return the favor and listen to the Christians reason why they believe.

Why?

I've met a lot of dumb people.

the religious thread turns into all the other religious threads.

i would ask why bad things happen to good people, and good things happen to bad ones.

Every atheist you've ever met has said to you "There is no God, Christ does not exist"?

If you are implying that Atheists are dumb, they aren't, they just lack faith.

A lot of atheists are dumb. Plenty of them aren't even atheists.

What he said, there are indeed alot of Atheists with that mindset.

And there are also alot of dumb Christians.

No, but I've met quite a few atheists who are far more ignorant than a lot of religious folks I've met. Many are just plain dumb, and I've stumped them with the simple: "You say God has no evidence of existence, so where's your evidence he doesn't?"

None can give me an answer. They either shut up, throw a tantrum, or fail at arguing back. I prefer agnostics, they keep their options open.

Or they say it is up to us to provide proof since we make the claim he exists.

There are an infinite number of things that you can't prove don't exist. So that's a perfectly valid response, unless of course you wouldn't object to any claim that any person makes (which I somehow doubt).

You could use that same approach to say it's ignorant to believe unicorns don't exist.

Everyone: The box refers to a movie where a box grants wishes but kills people. I forgot the name of the film.

Hellraiser?

No, it's recent. Last year. Has big name actors. I just forget their names.

🍺 I would ask him which is the better movie Alien or Aliens

I would ask Him to give me all the knowledge that He possesses. Then, I would be equal to God...if He gave it to me. Knowledge is power.
