It's definitely a joke when one professes the fable that God is a myth. There
is no support what-so-ever for such a wild idea. All evidence to be found
supports the existence of God.
So if you think you have proof that there is no God, let's see it.

Well, you've got me there, Dupe. I can't prove that god doesn't exist.
Then again, I can't prove that Tinkerbelle doesn't exist.
To believe that Tinkerbelle exists would require "faith".

Did you know that pope Paul hid priests that were
fucking little boys in the ass? Do YOU fuck little

I can't prove that you don't. I take it on faith that you are a queer.
You need to look up the definition of the word "proof".
And, you might also want to check in on "burden of proof".
Duckshit? Words?
You're trying to be funny huh?
Ever hear of the adage "Innocent until proven Guilty" ??
It seems to me the onus of proof is upon you. And just like the UFO
nutjobs, who swear that UFOs exist and crash to Earth all the time, not one
single piece of evidence has ever been presented.
No concrete piece of evidence to confirm the existence of ANY god has ever
been presented.
As Atheists, we just don't believe in the existence of a god, thus leaving
large areas of brains totally un-cluttered. Thus, we don't feel that we
have to defend our position on religious superstition, nor furnish proof why
the one thing we DON't believe in DOESN"T exist.
Other genres, which don't have to justify their existence:
Non-Internet user's group.
Non-handgun owner's group.
Non-Mountain climber's association.

>You're trying to be funny huh?
Huh? I was slagging Mr. Duke.
The dumb idiot Duke is again engaged in posting his nonsense.
"All evidence to be found supports the existence of God."
Where is the objective verifable evidence??? Your 'opinion' is worthless.
> So if you think you have proof that there is no God, let's see it.
Take a course in logic. No one can proof of nonexistence. Nonexistence
is the proof!

All evidence to be found? Where? In your fairy tale book? Or is it in

Actually, you've made the claim that "God" exists so it is up to you
to provide proof. I can't provide "Proof" of the non-existence of
"God" but I sure as hell can provide evidence for his total
absence and indifference to the plight of humanity:

Yet I am.

It seems you're wrong. 2000 years ago, a real man appeared, died on a cross, 3
days later walked the earth again, and then ascended to the Father.
Now this man became known 2000 years ago to the point today that there are 2.2
billion believers alive and well today.
There's your onus.

That's concrete enough for me. Can you provide something even remotely
approaching my onus in validity for there being no God? How sadly you purposely
approach your spiritual suicide.
>As Atheists, we just don't believe in the existence of a god,
No, as atheists, you refuse to believe despite all the evidence.
Big bang. Creation of all the stars and the earth, mankind and all animals and
plants, and to especially all the laws of nature.
Take your pick - either God did it, or it's all one big giant accident.

Nope - that just shows man's inhumanity to man. Do you have anything, any
evidence, that even suggests that God doesn't exist?
You might also want to Google for "null hypothesis".
You propose the existence of a magical super-being who can fart a Universe
out of his asshole, has existed forever, has no beginning or end, cares
about our day-to-day affairs, then you label skepticism about this
supposed being as a 'wild idea'? You are really a piece of work, duke!

Your fingerprints on the murderweapon would this proof the existence
of God?
Interesting theory. . .
I vote 'accident'.
And every accident is an effect, which must have a cause.
Summary: There *must* be a First Cause to explain why "something
exists", rather than "nothing exists".
But, the bottom line is that if you do not believe in the existence of
God, or rather, if you choose to ignore the existence of God (because
everyone believes deep down inside that there is a Supreme Being), then
that is because God has ordained and decreed that you are predestined
for eternal destruction. Read the ninth chapter of Paul's epistle to the
Romans the next time you're in a public library.
Summary: Faith to trust in God for salvation is itself a gift from God.
Not everyone has it. But those that do have it have been chosen by God
for salvation. Read the first chapter of Paul's epistle to the Ephesians
while you're at the library.
Regards,

It's a christian.
Empirical evidence methods are in the suitcase "Not wanted on voyage"
You've been using this nonsense for years, and no-one's bought it yet.
If you have any support for your gods, then bring it. Otherwise prove
that leprechauns don't exist or take up your pot o' gold and meet me at
the end of the rainbow for your new duties.
First of all, Stevie, *I* wasn't the one who postulated only 2
answers.
Of the two I was given, god or accident, I chose accident.
If you don't like it, kiss my Irish ass.
Secondly, Stevie boy, who says there has to be a "First Cause"?
How about a simple "we have no fucking clue", as to what happened
'before' the big bang. Anything else is presumptuous, pompous,
bullshit.
We can speculate about it all day long, but in the end it's mental
masturbation.

Again, I'll take a pass. I have better things to do with my time....
Like
shooting roadsigns.
"predestined for eternal destruction" BWAHhahahahahaha!!
When will you people understand that it is impossible to prove a negative?
How on earth can you disprove that something isn't there, because there is
nothing there to disprove!
That's the whole point - I say again - "there is nothing there to disprove".
Time after time you people say something like: "All evidence to be found
supports the existence of God." Yet in all the time I have been viewing this
group not one single piece of this claimed evidence has been forthcoming.
NOT ONE SINGLE PIECE!
Oh yes, opinions, faith, mythical stories from an old and discredited book
but of evidence - Nothing.

OK, it was an accident. (You're too easy)
You keep making this false claim with NO evidence to support it.
Believing in myths and fables is NOT OBJECTIVE VERIFIABLE EVIDENCE
which you can' supply!
The proof it does not exist is the total lack of objective verifiable
evidence for its existence.
Get an education, Duke!
There are close to a thousands different god beliefs.
There is no objective verifiable evidence that ANY of them are real.
IF there was a REAL GOD, why would he permit his creations to be so misled
by all
these many false gods? How do you KNOW your god is real?
Get an education!
You keep claiming the "Big Bang" is proof of your god. This has nothing to
do with your imaginary god.
What Happened Before The Big Bang?
Science Daily - New discoveries have been made about another universe whose
collapse appears to have given birth to the one we live in today. They will
be announced in the early on-line edition of the journal Nature Physics on 1
July 2007 and will be published in the August 2007 issue of the journal's
print edition. "My paper introduces a new mathematical model that we can use
to derive new details about the properties of a quantum state as it travels
through the Big Bounce, which replaces the classical idea of a Big Bang as
the beginning of our universe," said Martin Bojowald, assistant professor of
physics at Penn State. Bojowald's research also suggests that, although it
is possible to learn about many properties of the earlier universe, we
always will be uncertain about some of these properties because his
calculations reveal a "cosmic forgetfulness" that results from the extreme
quantum forces during the Big Bounce.
The stars, planets and nature are not proof or even evidence of your or any
other gods. Get an education.
Yes, the total lack of objective verifiable evidence that he exists!
That is the same reason we do not believe that Santa, The Tooth fairy and
the Wizard of Oz
do not exist except in peoples imaginations.
Duke is obviouslly a moronic mental case.

Are you arbitrarily choosing not to think rationally about this subject?
I say, "No. You are predestined to not think rationally about the origin
of the universe, and everything within it."
Yes. I suspect Earl (his real name) has found out that the only way he gets
attention is to say stupid things over and over to anybody that listens.
This is a man who claims to be an engineer and lacks a basic knowledge of
science. He has said he goes home every day for lunch and likes to go to the
catholic mass for children so he can watch them.
Being ridiculed seems to be the only attention he gets.
Those fundy's who parrot the first cause argument don't seem to be aware
that at the point where Aquinas says "This we call God" there is no
difference between "God" and "Big Bang". Aquinas goes on, and on, and on to
defend his arbitrary choice and make it the god he wanted it to be.
Which, of course, is a god that is at odds with traditional orthodox
Christianity.
If you redefine "god" to mean nature, then your new, heterodox god can
be said to exist.
OK, let me see yours first. To clarify my point: All newborns have no
concept of any god. Whichever god they believe in, has been brainwashed
into them. That's why 99.9% of all people born in a religious region will
adopt that faith. Not because it is evident, but they fall under the
influence of the deluded masses.
You prove to me that there is a Gawd, and I'll believe. You can't do it.
PS. Your idiotic Babble doesn't count.
Exactly, so what 'caused' your god to exist?

I have never believed, nor will I ever believe, in the existence of any
god/supreme being.

You'll get something along the lines of "Underwear is evidence for
mountains." if Puke's past record is anything to go by.
God has no cause for his existence. He is self-existent.
Every effect must have a cause. God is not an effect.

I do, and I am claiming that if you are a human being, then there is a
part of you that believes in the existence of an eternal, self-existent,
rational, Being that is the First Cause of all that now exists.
You may not, and I'm quite sure you don't, like to think about it, and
you've become very successful in hiding from Him, much like Adam and Eve
tried doing after they realized they were naked. But somewhere deep
inside your soul you believe He exists. I know that to be true because
He created each one of us that way. But, of course, I'm not expecting
you to believe any of that. Which naturally leads to the next section.

Now, see, that's where you're wrong. I admit there is *NO* objective
evidence for the existence of God.
Just as there is *NO* objective evidence that He does not exist.
But what you're not getting is that's the way He wants it. That's all
part of His plan. I can assure you he could provide you with all the
objective evidence of His existence that you could possibly stand. But
in His infinite wisdom He's chosen not to.
He will make Himself known to you as objectively real sometime in the
future. I know you don't believe that either. It's OK.
I'm not trying to get you to believe it. I know that to be an
impossibility. I know that it is impossible for even you yourself to
change your mind and believe it. You have no control over what you now
believe. You did not arbitrarily choose to be an atheist. God made that
choice. You are just obeying whatever He has decreed for you to be.
This is all very hard stuff, if you've never experienced it before.
One day in the future you'll understand what is now hidden from you.

Of course you don't. But do you know why you don't?
I know how you will answer that, so let me go ahead and tell you

Rubbish..according to you, man is "God's" creation. With that act
comes a certain amount of obligation to provide for the welfare of
humanity.
Any god that would sit on his ass while the Nazis dumped live children
into gas fired pits is a real creep. (No, they weren't all gassed
becuase of s shotage of Zyklon B). If that's the "loving God" you're
following, you're in a world of hurt.
"There is not enough love and kindness in the world
to give any of it away to imaginary beings." - Friederich Nietzsche
And I repeat. At teh time Aquinas says there can't be an uncaused cause (an
arbitrary decision) all he has done is define something he calls god. It has
no other properties and is just a name.
He went on to define this name as he wanted to.

Likewise, Bill!
'No proof of Existence is no proof of Non-existence.'
"*I* will prove to be that/what *I* will prove to be."
Which begs the question of what cause that "Being" to come into
existence? To say that it is eternal just means that you don't know.
I say why bother with the middle-man?
Just skip the 'god' part and say we don't know why the universe 'is'.

Adam and Eve? You're shitting me, right?

Who told you that? Who gave you the inside track? The voices in your

Please explain PRECISELY where you came by this knowledge... I'll
wait.
OK. I've waited long enough. You just made it up out of thin air.
That makes you a liar.

Fine then. We are in agreement.

Why? What capricious nonsense is this? If that is 'god's' plan then
I vote for him as "biggest douchebag in the universe", even surpassing
John Edwards.

Ah, the fucking future! Every time someone mentions my "future" I

Alright then, how about you shut the fuck up?
I suggest we have a government inquiry to determine if god exists or not.
That is entirely dependent on what you perceive to be an admirable
quality. As duke is a little different on what he thinks is a 'wild
idea', I am not surprised that he may also be a little different on what
he thinks is a compliment. If God does exist, She certainly made some
interesting creatures: the duck-billed platypus, people like duke, etc.
come to mind.

Wrong - those 1000 (g)ods are all around you - booze, gambling, sex, violence,

Always the same answer - your choice of (G)od rather than (g)ods.

My education is the main reason why I believe in almighty (G)od. There is no
objective, deniable, definable reason to profess there is no (G)od.

You can't tell me what my evidence can be. You have no idea what the bible is.
And I cannot prove the existence of God, and you can't prove the nonexistence of
God. But all evidence, every tiny bit of it, supports the existence of God.
There is nothing for you to use to support your own beliefs.
Is there any "objective, deniable, definable reason" to profess that
there are no 3 headed purple giraffes?
Thought not. Therefore, you must believe in them, no?

All men are slated to live once and then die and be judged. God didn't kill the
children, men did.

Are you Mad? They are bound to make a mess of it.
"*I* will prove to be that/what *I* will prove to be..."
If you assume a first cause, then everything that exists must have been
caused to exist.
Everything.
And that includes a deity.
If, on the other hand, you claim that there are exceptions to the rule, then
there is nothing to bar the idea of spontaneous accidental Big Bang
self-creation.
You cannot have it both ways.
Well, all I can say is: Good Luck in the after life.
Don't be surprised when the lights don't come back on again for your
phase two in heaven. Oops, you won't be surprised, because you'll be dead.
You know, Hagar, I have a friend that believes
in god. In an abnormal way. He 'believes' sort
of like trying to scam god. It's like hey, if I say I
believe and god's NOT real... Well, no harm no foul.
If he says he believes and it IS real, then he gets to cloud #9.
It's a win-win for him ;-)
No, not "everything that exists" must have a cause.
Every *effect* must have a *cause*
God *IS* the First Cause. He's not an effect.
Come on, it's really not that difficult a concept to grasp.
If you took a drug test right now, would you pass it?
[snip the rest of this irrational nonsense]
Duke doesn't do logic. It's against his religion.
Your friend *thinks* he's scamming God, but God cannot be scammed.
God knew your friend would try scamming Him before your friend was ever
born.
And if your friend would think that he actually could scam God, then
that shows that he has not been regenerated / saved, and is not one
of God's children.
So it's really a lose-lose situation for your friend.
...always assuming God doesn't regard covering one's ass via lip service to
faith as the worst of all sins.

Duke is gay and supports pedophilia inclined priests.
Prove that he's not.
Fuck god and fuck you too.
How do you like me now, biatch?
One thing that consistently defines a believer and that is
a serious lack of any humor.
Oh, and the fact that most of them are reformed
drug users/abusers.
Oh, and the fact that they are all gay.
Prove that they're not.

I think you may have taken things a little too personally.

I don't have a thing against you. It's your "friend" that's not very
theologically rational.
Just in case you're driving up the exit ramp here, I'm atheist as all get
out.
If I missed a joke, it's from having ole Blaise's carcass dragged through
a.a a few hundred too many times. No big whoop.
3-headed purple giraffes didn't create the universe and all in it. There's no
evidence. All evidence says God did it.
Actually, logic is the main reason behind my belief in God. It's the only
scenario that makes logical sense.

The only thing that dies is the physical body, not the soul.
I'll be sure to let him know that.
Actually, I just told him.
What he said was, "Boo-fucking-hoo".
Me too.
(Maybe try rereading my post? <G>)
As usual, you lie. Atheism is lacking belief. As you have no evidence
your "god" exists, we are under no obligation to believe your claim.
Lack of evidence may not be evidence of lack but it sure as hell isn't
evidence of existence.
(Duh)
It's worse. It's willfully stupid and proud of it...
Nope. You have no evidence any such person existed outside of your
religious mythology.
I suspect with Duckshit it's congenital and the Christinanity is
incidental...
Duckshit made a funny!
OK - point taken.
The symptom, not the disease...
So much for that 'free-will' god gave us eh? You've just blown that
falacy right out of the water!
So god made some "chosen" people believers and will reward them in the
afterlife, but made others atheists and will punish them in the
afterlife?? Is this guy fair or what?!! :)
Did he have a reason to make me an atheist? Did I do something wrong
or is it arbitrary?
Man - it still amazes me how (seemingly) grown people can believe
such absolute, in NO WAY logical, BS!! It doesn't even come close to
making sense... it's not even in the same country as making_sense.

So now in addition to BAAWA and SMASH we have NWA: N****z With Atheism. :-)
Has anybody claimed it was evidence of existence? No!
