I care to believe in evidence, not myth.
I don't believe what I believe because it's what I desire to believe. I believe what I believe because it's what logic and reason cause me to believe. All I want is to live with the truth -- nothing more, nothing less.

Not only is religion made by man, but "God" is made by man also.

I guess you have the evidence God does not exist, lets see the proof.

Since nobody can prove a negative, and you're the one claiming something exists, it's up to you to supply the evidence that your "God" exists. And until you do, the assumption must be that "God" doesn't exist.

I have all the evidence I need for me, and you are the master of your own ship. All I can say is "Seek and ye shall find", if you want to find God, you can and will. If you don't want to you never will.

the assumption must be


Not very scientific if you ask me!

Exactly. There's nothing scientific about "God".

Looks like you're finally catching on. Keep up the god work, ooops, I mean good work. :lol:

All rubbish arguments.

One need not abandon science to believe in God...this is a straw man pathetic argument if i ever heard one.

You don't want to believe in God? Fine by me. It's not the Inquisition...after all.

But at the same time, since you arent being forced to believe in something, you really shouldnt insult those who do.

I don´t care what anyone believes, what I care about is when anyone no matter what side or beliefs they have begins to hurt and kill other people.
And since all sides do the same sh*t, I hate all sides.
Truth doesn´t control you, you control it...

Funny how some people can't believe in anything but at the same time believe in nothing, fartwind. :lol:

Eat it.

when people talk about god they r basing every notion they have around a human frame of reference(if that makes sense)

god the creator is surely so far above and beyond us, that comprehension of him/her/it by us or any of our religions is more or less imposible.

i beleive in a god, i even beleive in the prophets moses, jesus, mohamed etc, but i do not beleive in religious organisations because they r governed by man. its man who persecutes each other, and its man who goes 2 war with each other, not god. :D

There. You've made an actual claim. Excellent progress! Now prove it. Your pet excuse "can't prove a negative" doesnt apply this time. ;)
