If you could prove there was no God, would you?

[Lazarus]

The unobservable or other realms is like saying, here I have a box. Tell me what is in the box. You can have any sort of theory about what is in the box, but you cannot know. Because you cannot know what is in the box (without opening it) does not mean, that you can say, it must be Jesus or God in the box.

This is 100% correct, absolutely. Now I've got my box which you can't open - tell me what isn't in there. You can't (aside from perhaps myself, yourself, and everything present in the room with us). You can only guess. Not come up with the answer.

Right, but while you have a closed box, you cannot use that as evidence of God, or anything else that you can't see, hear or otherwise perceive.

Correct, I think you're getting the handle of it then. We cannot say he certainly is - or certainly isn't until we open the box.

But that either means you believe in nothing at all or you believe in anything that can be conceived.

[Lazarus]

I accept it as a possibility. Not a fact. (i.e I don't think ghosts are real, but I don't go around saying that they aren't real - mainly out of courtesy to my friends who have had "experiences" but also because I can not, with certainty, make that statement)

[Simon Cashmere]

But that means everything is a possibility. Vampires. Ghosts. Leprachans. Im quite comfortable disbelieving those. Along with God, of any type.

Get ready for the people who do believe in those things to yell and call you closed minded, in 3, 2, 1.........

[Macunaíma]

Oh you're so close minded, vampires und goblins are real.

Statistically mostly only women believe in supernatural like ghosts. This is a male dominated forum.

[hellheaven1987]

But I thought more males believe the existence of Big Foot?

Anyway, you don't need God to have hope, look at those Communists and Buddhists.

I can prove there is a God beyond a reasonable doubt. I have substantial evidence. Email me for the full report. nrh0904@gmail.com

[nrh0904]

I have mathematical data confirming there is a God

[Lazarus]

If it's simply math you can post it here. If for some reason you can't, write an email with your report, screen shot it, then post the image here.

[Paragon]

Seing as how many Chirstians can't understand why you would behave well and avoid sins and evil behaviour without God to punish you, and how I think today it prevents more harm that it does, I don't think so. Maybe not publicly, but only to some close friends that are already atheists.

[nein]

of course I would, truth is the most important thing even if it does make us look like fools for awhile. Man must always push forward

[Mithridates the Great]

God exist and doesn't have many names like ("Allah,Buda etc) it is Jesus Christ,Father and holy Spirit this is God and it is love.

[Admiral Piett]

The burden of proof is not on non-believers on the subject of the Semitic god's existence.
