God is real

I'll put it simply:

As far as anyone on this earth is concerned, god does not exist. "He" has not shown himself, proven himself directly. People attribute "miracles" to god all the time, clearly that is speculation in its finest form. Divine intervention does not exist, prayer is illogical and does not work. These are things we know.

More things we know. Bad things happen, terrible, unspeakable events occur and have always occured. Even to people of the highest faith and belief in god.

Everything is all part of gods plan, right? If he is to be held responsible for the good things and the miracles, you better believe he is to be held responsible for all of the bad things that happen. Some of the biggest Christian countries in the world get hit by tsunamis, suffer earthquakes, etc. annualy.

Options based off of that truth:

1. God doesnt exist
2. God exists, created the universe but does not intervene in anything (Meaning he allows and created genocide, rape, famine, disease, natural disaster etc.)

Debunking number 2, the god of the bible and the religions that follow it does not exist. We know the things I listed above do not describe loving, caring, or being omnipotent.

I understand that the bible does include explanations for some of these things, however, they do not morally justify the occurance of them under the standards of myself or anyone that I know personally. In other words, no person would read the explanations given and nod in agreement as if it were justifiable. Therefor the god described in the bible does not exist, and the evidence of that is the past and the present that we are living. Anyone who would accept a god that literally allows young children to be raped and molested, or entire races to be slaughtered and enslaved, is not a role model in moral character.

God isn't real and neither is religion. You would now in history that religion was founded in B.C. times by the romans to give people hope and to also control the people. Religion is just an excuse to extract money out of the people and give them hope for something better after there shitty life that they are already living. its a disgusting thing and the fact that you still believe in this is beyond me. Look into science not into something about how a man sat in the clouds and created this universe. If god is real who created God?

God is more than just a creation story to people. First of all, I'm an atheist going to a catholic school, but I don't hate religion, I just choose not to believe in it. I have scripture class at school, which I hate, but through the class I am able to learn a lot about the Bible. The Bible is not meant to be read word for word, which is how you are interpreting it. It is supposed to be read in context using the historical background of the authors and knowing about the time which it was written in. Most of the Bible applies to everyday life. There are many believers who realize how ridiculous some of the stories in the bible are, if they aren't read the correct way. Messages of trust, love, companionship and community are shared through the stories of the Bible, which anyone could find admirable. These are the main reason people believe in God and the Bible. Now, there are many more things that have to be argued with the concept of God.

That is your opinion. No one knows how it should be interpreted, or who should interpret it. In the olden days only the Pope was allowed to interpret the bible and eventually the king. Its a joke and its all meant just to give people hope and help control them. It really is a disgusting thing, and the fact that people dedicate there lives to try to "get in heaven" is amazing to me.

That's not all that religion is. It gives people hope, helps the get through the day, and gives them something to believe in. How is that disgusting? Also, what you're doing here is stereotyping all religions and categorizing them into one group, which is incorrect. That was not my opinion in my last post, either.

I said that religion gives people hope... Re-read what I said and also its disgusting because it causes so many wars and also because of the fact so many people have been killed over a stupid belief that means nothing. I don't care if I am categorizing religion into groups because all religions are not real and fake. Religion was invented in Rome during times of disparity and what it did was help people (who had these awful lives) think that when they died they would be able to go and live with "God" where it would be peaceful and they would be safe/happy. It was all just meant to help control the people, it was created on that sole purpose. And through this many other religions began to form. This is my opinion and I don't really care if you disagree its just that I believe that all religion is stupid and made up to give hope (when this hope doesn't exist) and also to control the people, which i have already stated numerous times.

Religion was not invented in Rome. I'm done talking to you because you obviously don't understand what you're saying. Ignorant people give us atheists a bad name.

Religion has been around much long than Rome. You're referring to Christianity. Religion is more than just Christianity.

The bible is not meant to be read literally. The ideology of interpreting the bible differently is ridiculous. You can find an excuse for essentially any text you read. However, there is some verses in the bible which are just blatant malarkey and can't be interpreted logically. Plus, there's no valid logic to dictate that it is indeed to be read not literally, and there's none to dictate what is to be interpreted literally and what is to not be interpreted literally. Interpreting religious text differently is an attempt to add secular characteristics into a religious culture to meet and balance with society's advancing standards of morality.

The Bible was written 2,000 years ago, so you cannot possibly read it literally. It was created in a different time and should be read as if it was. The fact that it was written 2,000 years in the past is perfectly sound logic for reading the Bible with a grain of salt. Otherwise, I agree with you. I find most verses completely false and ridiculous, but that's my opinion.

I made a mistake in a state of confusion in beginning of my statement. I meant the bible is suppose to be taken literally, not that it isn't suppose to be taken literally. Oops.

I noticed that, and adjusted my argument.

You're making a straw man argument fallacy. If you were to ask an evolutionist how they date fossils, they would answer by carbon dating, not by the depth of the layers. Carbon dating is a method in which one measures the amount of carbon-14 left. Hence, it is not circular reasoning. Whoever told you the contrary is not a reliable source.


You a made plethora fallacies, specifically straw man fallacies.

"they believe a bird later formed different types of lizards, horses and dogs. They also believe that plants created everything from vines to trees to flowers, and fish evolved into dinosaurs, apes and humans. If that’s true, then I have to ask the evolutionist why is it for the last 6000 years of recorded history that not a single new species has ever been created?"

How is believing that apes eventually turned into humans through the process of natural selection more ridiculous than a talking snake and an apple being the reason of the downfall of the human race?

It takes millennias upon millennias for such significant change to occur. 6000 years is not extensive enough for an entirely new type of species to forthcome.

"Scientific fact is, we still have many of the old species among us, and we know of many that did in fact become extinct. But not a single bird has been found that used to be a fish. And not a single bird has been found that is related to a lizard."

"If life truly evolves like they say it does, why did it all of a sudden stop dead in its tracks 6000 years ago? After all, if life is as they define it to be, then it must be a constant evolutionary process for life to continue, which means that evolutionary process be never ending."

Evolution did not stop after 6000 years. The average height is much higher than it was just 2000 years ago, as well as the average lifespan has drastically increased. We can observe insects becoming immune to pesticides in a matter of a decade due to their reproduction rate. Evolution has not stopped in the slightest.

"Some have claimed that mutations are evolution because of some moth that changed its color years ago. Real scientists discovered that the moth changed its color because of its environment. In other words, if just changing its color means they evolved, then that must mean that every time I work in the garden and get a tan I’m actually evolving?"

No, you're tan is not genetic.


You're so silly.

It looks like you just explained how things were made and how they are observed.

Everything is matter right? Water,Trees, Plants and etc. What the guy tried to explain is if theres no God then there would be nothing... What you are saying is a Fallacy, specifically Argumentum Ad Ignorantiam, You do not see God, therefore you dont believe, now if you say that I am supporting the Ignorance Fallacy, how will we explain the creations around us, if science did, how did science lived before the creation of the universe? and what if extraterrestrials did it? the same question pops on how did they live before the universe? Therefore there is God, a God where we can't explain it yet just until we die.

I didn't explain how things were made, evolution is not a creation theory.

I'm not expressing an argument from ignorance. You're the one who doesn't know if the claim you make is true. You have no way of proving or knowing that if a universe is godless, its result is nothing. I am the rejector of that claim due to lack of evidence of your claim. Hence, you're expressing an argument from ignorance, not me. Science can explain anything. Science is not a physical object, it's a method created by humans to explain everything.

You could label the extraterrestrials as the creators of absolutely everything, eternal, they exist outside of time and the universe to refute the ideology of how they could have existed before the universe. Sound familiar?

Alright, you just did, you're expresing(not saying) that there is no God to belive in, and now you are telling me that ther is "no claim" on the creation theory, hence it is true that no one lived to tell the tale, but to my extent I believe that something has made us, it is not a method but it is a fact that lacks evidence on how the whole ideology was created, I'm not saying that the bible is real therefore we should or should not believe on it, but it's basically an anicent scripture that provides significant events thousands of years ago, people are melting just to find the justified answer to our creation, and in the end people would just cry begging for forgiveness on what they did not believe when they were still in Earth... Aethiesm just doesn't make sense.

You just said Atheism makes no sense, yet in the same post where you say that God is a "fact that lacks evidence." I think this debate is over for you.

It does lack evidence for us, but I dint not say I don't belive in God, well I just giggled a bit from your post... my idea can relate to this sentence:

There is cancer, but we cannot cure it yet, so therefore we must conuct a study and research on how we are to able to cure it.

So nonetheless, there is God, but in order to prove we must conduct a study and research on how the whole equilibrium was made.
