This is a simple as it gets. You cannot disprove God and you cannot prove God.

I believe in God and I dont appreciate how Atheists try to disprove God. My opinion and dont flame me for it.

I've never liked that reason for believing in G_d, either. It makes it a sugar coated reality. If we are to ever find out the truth, we need to aproach it as objectively as possible. Making stuff up to make yourself feel better is fine, so long as you do it in a doublethink-esque way. Seriously. Doublethink is amazing.

If you want me to believe something, I need proof or something along the lines of that. The truth can hurt sometimes, so it's easier to believe a lie.

I agree with you totally there.

I can provide plenty of evidence. It's up to you whether or not to take it as proof.

Is that a special case for a religeon, because people base decisions and beliefs on faith everyday. Not everything has to be proven.

So if that is a specific case for God, then you should say so or make it more clear.

Because noone is perfect..and people always say god is..And if everyone sins..and one that sins goes to something called ''hell'' then everyones going to hell..It doesn't matter how many times you went to church or how many times you prayed..everyones going to hell if thats the way you look at it

Plus whats the point of giving money to a church?

Where's the money going?

Do you honestly think they give the money to Jesus or something?

Repairs, maintenance, paying employees, charities (I hope

), etc.

It'd be very hard to run a church, or anything for that matter, without money. Do you expect the people running it to pay for everything out of their own pockets?

If you can provide evidence, I'll look it over and take it as proof if it's good enough for me to believe.

A'ight. You can contact me on AIM. Just to give you a heads up, it's all based on personal experiance, and around 70% of it could be explained as coincidence. But if it's coincidence, it's quite the statistical anomaly. I don't have any time tonight, but I should be available tomorow.

Don't lie to yourself. There's nothing froggy could say to convince you that there is a god.

One of the two scenarios seems just a bit more plausible.

well actually that is completely different. the zygote of a human already has its genes and chemical makeup in place, all it needs to do is grow. your trying to compare it with evolution, which is a completely different subject.

well those that believe in god and know things about the religion know that god is forgiving as long as you pray to him and ask for forgiveness. he forgives you as you forgive others.

and no they don't give it to jesus you idiot, it's to help pay for church expenses. wow, some atheists are extremely incompetent on some of these issues when half of them act like they know everything.
