Just looking for some insight.

I wouldn't advertise that this is a question that has been sitting on your mind for a while unless you're proud to publicly announce that your brain has atrophied.

The burden of proof lies with you. Either prove that the extraordinary claim for which you refuse to provide evidence is real.

I already have the proof I need but I was hoping to get some points to ponder.

Apparently the answer to this thread is that there are none?

And cheesecake does sound awesome.

The answer is that there is no need for atheists to prove your imaginary friend doesn't exist. If you want other people to believe as you do, you need to prove your own claims. Why don't you understand this?

An omnipotent God can do anything.
If so, He can make a rock so heavy he cannot lift it.
But if he cannot make such a rock, he is not omnipotent, and thus, not God.
And if he cannot lift the rock, he is not omnipotent, and thus, not God.

There. God made neatly impossible in one logical paragraph.

Yes, there is no scientific proof that god does or does not exist. Many atheists argue, though, that just because there is no direct evidence proving or disproving his existence doesn't mean that the chances he actually exists are 50/50.

He exists.

Atheists seem so angry when you bring up God. If its just a fairy tell how come you won't get so angry when someone mentions zombies or leprechans etc.?

So, you're saying... the rock is God? I'm on board.

The people who believe in zombies and leprechauns don't often insist that I should do the same, or use their belief as excuse to do shitty things to other people.

No, the answer to this thread is that there is as much verifiable scientific proof of GAWD's existance as there is that "he" doesn't exist...none either way.

Remember, cheesecake is pie.

Would you say that the chance of finding a rainbow colored unicorn is 50/50?

Atheism != Agnosticism

Don't get them mixed up.

lol

Give me one scientific fact that proves Unicorns, fairies, and leprechauns don't exist.

You can't prove they don't exist, therefore they must exist :confused:

That doesn't mean they do exist because you can't prove they don't. It just means you can't prove it either way. Agnosticism is more logical than atheism.

Albert Einstein believed in God. I guess you guys would consider him a naive fairytale believer and that you have superior intelligence too.

Just saying "he" exists doesn't prove it.

Hell, I believe that the Sasquatch and Yeti exist, but I can't prove it...therefore leaving them also in the realm of mythical creatures.

Do leprechauns exist? Could be...but I've never seen one...and there is no verifiable evidence to support the claim...except a bunch of drunken Irishmen...and we all know how they lie! :p

AFAIC, if someone wants to believe in the magic sky fairies...it's fine with me, as long as they don't try to shove their beliefs down my throat, nor try to force me to live by their "value system" that's based on those beliefs.

I would put the burden of proof on the people who believe in an all-powerful being watching us from the sky, not on the people who don't believe.

So, what say you?

There. God made neatly impossible in one logical paragraph.

Your logic is based on human intelligence in this universe.
If God is omnipotent, then He isn't limited by that, now is He? He could
even recreate the universe such that such a contradiction in logic makes perfect sense, or such that you never asked that question to begin with. The "rock" question is a stupid one for anyone that understands what the word "omnipotent" means. The only good answer to that question is "BBQ Sauce".
