So you think the forums are for spraying others with expletives rather than providing useful feedback?

I'd rather have expletives than cut-n-paste jobs from those incapable of arguing their own point. Did you believe in God before Google?

Google

Results about 121,000,000 for God

Results about 65,300,000 for no God

about 2 to 1 in God's favor.

That's the evidence I needed to push me over! I'm going back to Christianity. Google just can't be wrong. I worship Google!

Yes. Is there any specific reason why you don't believe in God?

A fairy is defined as "A tiny imaginary being in human form, depicted as clever, mischievous, and possessing magical powers."

I have not seen any evidence to suggest that fairies exist.

God, however, is defined as "A being conceived as the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe."

I look at the universe everyday. Thus I cannot but believe in the existance of God.

What you like to stipulate any intelligent reason for this?

I see billions of majestic stars, many teeming with life.
I see suffering on this earth caused by the brutality of man.
Someone capable of making such majesty cannot be capable of causing such utter misery. Thus there is nobody capable of making such majesty. We are here on our own and must fall back on our resources to make our lives worthwhile and the world a better place without believing in fairies.

I left christianity because the bible has too many self-contradictions in it. I am an agnostic; I believe that it's not possible to know whether God (or similar uber-powerful being) exists.

Man, this forum seems vanilla nowadays when compared to some of these old threads.

It is my earnest desire that that assurance may be yours, if it is not already.

no. granted, some forms of atheism are irrational. one of your main problems is that you think all atheists are strong atheists. you still don't know how to debate weak atheists.

So it's impossible to to prove that there is no such thing as little green men or angles or God. Therefore atheism is a logical contradiction...

i rest my case.
