ToBeMe: YOU prove that Santa Claus doesn't exist, and it will follow as a corollary of your proof that God does not exist, either.

<< Probably because... HE ISN'T REAL!? >>


Can you 100% undoubtedly prove that???????????;) ........................Didn't think so!;) It's a useless, meaningless albiet funny debate!:)
>>



Can you prove the tooth fairy and the easter bunny don't exist?

If "god" in all his merciful glory was real, the WTC attack wouldn't have happened. Or is that part of his "master plan" to let people die for no reason whatsoever? I am so tired of hearing excuses to try and patch up a time-tired lie.

Then by all means lay out you indisputable proof that it's all a prevarication! You can't just as the others can not prove it is fact!;):)

If you read what I said, instead of trying to cover up your lack of knowledge with cute emoticons, you would have read my proof.

LOL! You make no sense!;) All I want is proof from either side!!!! It can't be done and it won't.............that's what makes the petty claims even more humerous!;)

You idiot.......you HAVE NO PROOF AND YOU KNOW IT or those much more informed than yourself would have drawn conclusive evidence and the question would be answered one way or the other..............but it can't be done and for you to think you can/have shows no more than your ignorance on the subject! Sorry if it bugs you that I think this is all funny but people trying to prove something which can't be, and debating it over and over eventually becomes humerous!:)

Who is the fool here?

No sonny boy, it's not relative to the discussion, you are frustrated because you know you can't provide any positve proof and you hate being wrong!;)

It is very much related to the discussion.

Do you believe in Santa Claus or don't you?

If you still believe in Santa Claus, why?

If you don't, why not?

No it's not. It's not related to the discussion at all. If you can't figure out why it's not then I'm afraid it's hopeless, but I'll lay it out for you anyway. Santa Claus is a construct of folklore loosely based on a living man, the origins of whom can be traced with a relative level of certainty. A "god" is a power higher than a human, usually associated with some aspect of creation. "God" is the supreme power to which the universe's creation is attributed by believers.

What it boils down to is that the first event, often called the "Big Bang" was either caused by an intelligence, or by something else. Science can niether prove one nor the other. What makes you so sure you can?

He's giving us the silent treatment, because we've allowed too many amoral homosexuals and colored people into this country.

And you know better than all the philosophers and scientists who have ever pondered this question?

> Since the Muslim Allah is so powerful (enough to kill 6000 Americans and topple 3 buildings) and the Christian God is such a wimp (or does not even exist) will you now convert to Islam?

I do realize that no good can come of responding to this thread. Sigh. That said, I feel somehow compelled to point out that the 'Muslim Allah' and 'Christian God' are the same entity according to both religions (the Christian old testament is the first part of the Koran). I'm amazed daily by the numer of people who can kill each other in god's name, all the time actually believing in the same god.

Sigh,
Bill

Hey, I love it...when something bad happens, it's "free will" or "the Devil," to get the blame away from the actual people, but when something good happens, it's "God." Good lord people, take responsibility for your own actions and give credit where it's due.

And back to the topic, God will come again in all his glory in the second coming and the end of the world. He has though, sent us aparitions of the Virgin Mary, an example of one of the most famous here.

Edit: Link changed to site with more overall info on the event.

silveronsilver: Excellent trolling.

Well, you can't prove that God doesn't exist. The only way that you can definitively say that no God exists is if you know everything there is to know about the universe, and no one can possibly know that. For example, if you were to say that you are absolutely certain there are no nails in your house, the only way you can say that is if you've searched every bit of your house and definitively know there are no nails in your house. There's no way that we can know everything about the universe.

Likewise, it takes much more faith to believe there is no God (or no intelligent designer) and everything was created by mere chance than it does too simply accept that there must have been some intelligent designer who created the universe and is in control. I admire those people who say there is no God because they must have incredible faith to believe that. I think the problem is that people don't want to relinquish their pride and their belief that they are completely independent and in control. Which choice is more reasonable? A belief that everything occurred by mere chance, or that God created the universe. A physicist one said, "If we need an atheist to debate, I go to the philosophy department. The physics department isn't much use."

------------

In order to perceive the evil in our world, we must first have some innate sense of right versus wrong which must come from a supreme being. Without some supreme being defining right versus wrong, how are we to know the difference? If it is just some arbitrary human standard, then why obey it? Why are these common morals able to be seen in cultures around the world? The evil in this world is the consequence of our imperfections(sin) residing in all human beings. You know that no one here is perfect. We all have made mistakes in our lives. It's not so much God who brings evil upon the world, it is the reality that all human beings are not perfect and we all make mistakes (sin). Bin laden and his goons let their anger turn into rage and the result is 9/11. This is a clear example of the evil in the world. But also see how our nation (and perhaps the world to a small extent) have taken a small step towards uniting together (United We Stand). Almost all people in the world agree the events of 9/11 were tragic and terrorism is evil, and this has led to a small step towards making the world a better place to live in.

"Why doesn't he show up?"
That would be too easy.
She wants to see what drives us crazy while the rest of life passes us by.
