The IG site has 50 proofs, and added to the list are 3 "bonus" proofs, listed right at the end of the index. That makes 53 total, so I guess I was wrong it isn't 51 afterall, but MR. CRITICAL THINKER HIMSELF, EVENT HORIZON didn't even know about the extra 3 bonus proofs.


If you go to the home page it says:

"It is easy to prove to yourself that God is imaginary. The evidence is all around you. Here are 50 simple proofs".

http://godisimaginary.com/

The reason it's called 50 is because #1, the website started off with 50, then 3 more were added later. And two, 50 is a nice round number -- it sounds catchy, just like your blown up 10 commandments.

Regardless, the fact that you called them "51 proofs" doesn't actually put you in a good position to judge them, since it's obvious you haven't even bothered to go to the site and investigate it for yourself.

You also totally suck at rebutting the proofs. Rather than come up with any good rebuttals, your only rebuttal is it's "trash, bullshit, garbage"...etc., etc. Boy...that's reeeaaaaal intelligent. You might as well just come out and say "I'm too much of an idiot to debate this stuff."

You jumped right into the thread arguing, Mr. Hypocrite. Just look on page 1.

Any rational person can look at the opening post and see there was a valid point being made, and that it wasn't intended start an argument.

But this is your modus operandi towards anyone with a different opinion than yours. You jump in and start getting personal, rather than debate, because quite frankly you're too ignorant to debate.

Its like rewards points. Who are they trying to convince, us or themselves? After a dozen good ones, thats all they need, so they don't even believe their own boloney.


I admit it is a bit overdone, but many people need opposing material drilled into their heads in the same manner their religion was drilled into their heads.

Why does one need a 4 inch thick book to study throughout their lives, and church to go to twice a week, in order to keep proving to themselves that their "God" exists?

You obviously missed the point. The point was that the Catholic Church isn't obeying the Bible. The Bible points out that they aren't supposed to be laying themselves up with wealth, but giving their wealth to the needy. So...if they disobey their Bible, they must not believe in it, thus their "God" is imaginary.

It's basically insinuating that the church is a front to make money.

It's pretty funny that you'd say that because, other than your pals from the church, you're not well liked around here yourself.

But I'm sure in your own delusional mind you think you're well liked around here. You're simply blinded by your own pompousness.

Not my fault 5 peole just told you the same thing. :roll: Not my fault neither of you have had a single follower at all. :clap: We have discussed many of your proofs, and they all end up the same, and they are all just more of the same approch, what do you expect?

Hey dummy, this thread has nothing to do with the proofs, and Humphreys isn't the one bringing up the proofs...those are my doing.

Wow...you're so detached from what's going on it's incredibly ludicrous. :lol:

When was the last time you had your Depends changed? :lol:

Our proofs work I guess, and We have better bonus proofs. :dance:

They can't work all that well if you have to keep convincing yourselves on a regular basis.
