God does not exist - discuss

[cajar]

So just to clarify my question, which god do you think is real and can you show an example or two of a believing country doing well and a non believing country doing badly?

 

[breadnbutter]

America is predominantly christian, so is Greece. Are you suggesting then that there is a god but it's not the judeo-christian god?

dont be fooled not many of britian is true christian. britain turned seculiar,this country has turned its back on God , thats why its going down hill.

you cant mock God, you reap what you sow.

Britain didn't so much turn it's back on this God, but allowed another religion and their mythical God, in through the back door (you know the one,, the religion of peace)

there is only one God, and Jesus is the way to him.
britain is the example of a believing country blessed by God, and now a country, that is fallen from its believe in God.

And America is more Christian than ever before and look what's happening to them.

And America is more Christian than ever before and look what's happening to them.

A third of young Americans say they don't belong to any religion.
They worship materialism, money and sport.

At a time when they need to be moving backwards towards more traditional values they march headlong into the financial abyss.

I don't see any countries welfare being based on their religious beliefs. Their situation can be clearly shown to be caused by political and economic reasons. Same way that prayer doesnt work, if there is no discernible benefit to worshiping or believing in a god, how can you not face the fact that he doesnt exist?

 

[Norcon]

how can you not face the fact that he doesnt exist?

Any evidence for that wild claim?

 

[cajar]

Saying that something totally extraordinary does exist is the wild claim, in the case of god, something which is totally without evidence. Saying he doesn't exist is a reasonable conclusion based on the fact there is not a shred of evidence.

 

[Norcon]

The universe is the evidence. Its all around you and science will never explain it. If you deny that then you truly are a lost soul.

the evidence of God, is in the things he has created all around us,like man,plants ,animals,the stars,the sun,the universe,yet science uses gods creation,to disprove god. makes me laugh.

So you reject all other gods. Somebody once wrote; "When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours". I'm not holding my breath on it.

Five pages of pointless arguing in one day, and it's all been said before!

I wish my fellow atheists would stop trying to enlighten the religionists and leave them in their ignorance if it makes them feel more secure.

Religionists, please stop trying to 'convert' us. You will not succeed. We do not need someone to bow and scrape to - except the wife.

 

[Norcon]

Religionists, please stop trying to 'convert' us.

No one is trying to convert you. That's a lost cause.

But you need reminding that you occupy the moral low ground and always will.

You are, of course, entitled to your opinion. We atheists are very accommodating.
