(REAL CONVERSATIONS PLEASE) Does God Exist? I Say No.

wublovah3000: Saying that God exists is a positive claim, and thus those who make this claim accept burden of proof. People who make this claim have never provided real evidence for it, so we can assume that the claim is false.

If you have proof to the contrary, please correct me/prove me wrong.

calybonos: Do you think that you exist? I say No.

You are a figment of my imagination.

Saying that you exist is a positive claim, and while any further conversation from this point on, may or may not be real, it would, at best, only be evidence that I have at least two Wireclub accounts and I am talking to myself. At which point, the burden of proof as to my insanity would rest with my imaginary State appointed Psychiatrists.

They have never provided real evidence for it, so we can assume that the claim is false.

If you have proof to the contrary, please correct us/I/prove us/I wrong.

On second thought, forget it. I/we wouldn't want people thinking I'm/we're crazy, now would I/we?

Oh, shut up. No, you shut up!

wublovah3000: Can you clarify your point? I have no idea what you're saying. Otherwise, whatever that was has nothing to do with my argument.

lori100: The pig is correct....where is the evidence that you exist wublovah?....and yes God exists....

ghostgeek: Which "God" are we considering here, because there are so many of them?

Corwin: He's obviously referring to THOR, the hammer-wielding Norse God of Thunder...
... who else?

And THOR must exist, or else there wouldn't be thunder.

Zanjan: Um..........there are so many topics here about whether or not God exists. Does anyone think a new topic on the same subject will reveal more truth or another god?

calybonos: I do!

Every time a thread about God's existence gets posted, an angel gets it's wings, and a brand new baby God is born.

Corwin: I thought angels get their wings every time a urinal puck dissolves.

calybonos: Speaking of urinal pucks..

When two Hockey players walk into a restroom, and there's only one urinal, do they have a faceoff?

Zanjan: No, they aim if offside

ghostgeek: What else can you ask on the religious forum but, "Does God exist?"

Zanjan: Well, somebody could discuss *precisely* how God moves. It's related.

Folks will recite God's ways from the Book - ie 'God will do that/God says you must do this' - but when tested on the moving question, the results are often poor. The usual response is to tell you their faith story - that is, how they came to believe. Neither speaks to the question.

calybonos: I think God drives a Chevy, but don't quote me on that.

I'd hate to end up in the book.

Zanjan: Sorry, swine are cited in the Book - they get no pearls. However, I do think if you go on a diet, it might be ok for you to have a Gem Peapod.

Corwin: Good call Caly... I do drive a Chevy.

Now, everybody bow to me before I smite thee with mine own hand.

ghostgeek: It seems to little old me that before folks get down to discussing how God moves they should first establish that the gent exists.

Zanjan: Religious people don't need that. It's the atheists who have a problem. Why waste time on them? The vicissitudes of life will teach them what they kneed to learn.

ghostgeek: That's the problem with religion. It's always assuming it's correct.

Zanjan: Everybody thinks they're correct.

Laura _: yes God exists and He is a Good God......Satan has deceived the Whole World that He is not.

Corwin: I guess Satan must have written the Old Testament then... that thing is full of examples of God being a rather nasty old sod... what with all the smiting and the plagues and turning people into pillars of salt and the blood-rain and the wrath and the global flood that only spared one family... not to mention what he did to poor old Job just to win a bet with Satan - that certainly wasn't very nice.
