Originally posted by RaisenYou must not have listened to many people try to prove/disprove God. Especially the Abrahamic God. Many provers sound either zealous or stupid--and many of them aren't, their faith just forces their argument in a certain direction. And many disprovers sound either elitist or, oddly enough, "holier-than-thou".
perhaps they can't be done. it should be fun seeing people attempt
Proving one's faith is both more difficult, and more genuine. Anyone can argue, but acting faithfully to your God/lessness, that's something else.

I'm not trolling! The definition of prove is vital. For example, “prove” could be restricted to the bible. That is what JIA always does. I just wanted to get it out in the open.
provide what you think is proof according to your own terms. if you think it's proof enough for you...then post it.
Originally posted by RaisenI hope so too, I've always wanted to know what 'smithereens' is like.
furious. I hope god smites all of you into smithereens.
But yeah, you do need to define 'prove'. Empirically, it just can't be done either way, so unless you have another definition of 'proof' this thread and query is just an unsubtle attempt to goad people in to saying things that could make them sound foolish. Likely for you to feel superior afterward. Which was exactly my point in that post up above.
And why I suggested that, if you're genuinely curious, offer up examples of faith/lessness. Ultimately it's the people's reactions/behaviour that has the biggest effect, regardless of belief. You can be as diehard a believer as possible, but if your actions don't represent it, it doesn't matter.
