You can find a logical contradiction in the belief system, prove that he's evil, if he exists, or anything like that. If you want proof that God exists, there're books that can give you material. I'd say it's fair to believe in Nessie if nobody can give me evidence against. It's easy to give evidence against for Nessie, but obviously not for Christianity.
Beside the point. We have more scholars who believe in God. You have less. Ergo, the mental weight, searching for proof, lies with us.
Still a worthless fact. People rarely believe in Elves, despite the fact that you cannot see them.
actually I have always been fascinated with the does god exist or not thingie, fact is that I have never come across any good arguments that support that there is a god, never. chrisitanity has been pushed down our throats here in Norway so we aint actually novices when it comes to debates like this. After all both my parents were christians but they let it be my choice when I was old enough to make that choice to choose whether to share their faith or to believe something else
And I happen to be living in the midst of the bible belt both here in Norway and the USA. I hear all the time people trying to convince and prove gods existence, and it actually aint worth the time because there is no one on this planet that are able to do so.

God also knows your intentions, if you really are sorry or if you're just saying it to try to cover yourself. He knows your heart.
an atheist heart and intension could be much purer and less sinful of that of a christianyet god chose that kiss up. That makes your god a hypocrite.
less sinful?? A sin is a sin. If you sin you're a sinner, someone may do less sins, but the fact remains you still sinned! A person that ask forgivness w/a pure heart, recieves forgiveness from God.
and one who is of a few sins but dont ask forgivness is less worth in the eyes of your godthan a repeating sinner that ask for forgivness.
That makes the god hypocritical, but since god is man made it couldnt be avoided
NO one is perfect, people do mess up. God knows if your heart is pure or not, when you ask for forgiveness. David, was known to be a man after Gods own heart. Why?? because he was humble enough when he messed up to admit it, and repent sorrowfull of his sins. He didn't say it to cover himself (cuz God knows YOUR heart).
yeah David what a great example, he probably broke more or less all of the commandments what a role model and from his house this god chose his "son" to save toe world for sin. What a soapbox opera.
Well I have nothing to ask forgivness for espesially to an imaginary god
That is why i used David as an example, he did break alot of the rules, but he knew who is redeemer was, he knew How to be humble enough, even though he was KING and repent of his wrong doings. Not acknowledging God as your Lord and savior is a sin in Gods eyes.
Yeah, I'm an Atheist... I have studied many religions and have found not one that actually makes any LOGICAL sense...
Many have great ideas... but they just dont seem possible to me.
I am happy with the lifestyle I have chosen.
Raised a catholic and going to a christian school, I felt emptier when I "believed" then I do now.
I have made my choice and all the arguments in the world could not sway me.

The existence of God is largely irrelevant. A good person is still a good person whether or not God exists. If he is not, then he is not really a good person to begin with as he is doing the right things for all the wrong reasons.
