(OP) User ID: 36524530 Brazil 06/26/2018 11:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well, it's impossible to show proof it isn't true. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74989921 Because faith is what people have-which is believing in things unseen. So, my question to you is, when Faith is what people use to believe in God, how can you EVER prove it untrue? The very essence of faith is believing in things with no proof. So yours is a moot point. Proof is the burden of one making a positive claim. If you say "God exists" you have to provide proof, but you cannot use "you can't prove me wrong, thus I might be right" because it is a fallacy. There are dragons, unicorns, pixies, fairies and blob monsters around. Can you prove me wrong? If no, then it means they are real. Its the same analogy. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Again, not bible quotes. This is romans if I'm not mistaken. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76704512 United States 06/26/2018 11:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why does your freedom end where others begin? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76704512 If there is no God than there is no external wrong or right. The world becomes only what you can get away with. If there is no wrong or right than there should be no problem with someone stealing your car, lying about it and sayings its theirs. You would have no problem with that. But we all know that that would be an act of injustice. Each of us has an inner sense of wrong and right. This is not relative with each person having their own wrong or right. This comes from an external source. The fact that you said that your freedom ends where another begins proves that you have an internal sence of wrong and right. Thus you have proven the existence of God. Your premises are fallacious. You start with the conclusion then you develop your argument around it. You cannot prove that morality(which is what you're talking about) is inherently sourced in a god. If you claim so, you must prove so. And "reading between the lines" of your statements, leads me to the conclusion that you're one realization away from becoming a horrible person. I'm sorry if it sounds harsh, but judging by what you wrote, its what leads me to think. You said that people would kill, steal and act horribly without a god. By that I get that you're probably gonna do all these things if by any chance you stop believing. I didn't start with the conclusion I started with your words... Again you say if you steal you act horribly. If there is no God and no external wrong or right than why do you say that that is horrible? You have proven to me that you have a moral code. This code has to come from an external source or you would see no problem with someone else acting by their own moral code which may be completely different from your own. Again, your words have proven there is a God by showing you morality. As far as trying to personalize things toward me I wouldn't steal even if it wasn't a sin. But really I thought we were dealing with abstractions. What's wrong? Can't do a little thought exercise? |

For all of human history as agricultural tribal people, there has been spirituality. Those who did not believe were often cast out as fools. Atheism is not more logical. It is not more scientific. It is not more philosophical. Atheism is just another faith based religion. So wise people choose Christianity and reject atheism. Nothing cannot create all the mass in Universe. That is not logical. Nothing willnever create something. Life is not random. The newest evidence points to spontaneous species not evolution. This is the latest finding that 90% came about this way. You believe somethings which violates reason and philosophy and science. Then you claim objective morality doesn't exist. In such a word, the strong would destroy the weak and there would be no justice. |

On faith, we believe that GOD exists in Christianity. Neither can prove it. There is no intellectually superior position. That is a fallacy to think otherwise. However due the principle of Occam's Razor, Christianity is more logical and philosophical. It will not become extinct. In fact, the only time that it is imperiled is by atheists like in Communist China. And then, people practice it in secret and openly. Do you see any Christians in governments executing atheists? The reverse is true. |
