Not to completely say you are false, but do you have any examples? Certaintly, due to the nature of christianity, it would be impossible to disprove. Oddly, everything in religion is based on a supernatural plane of existence. This alone makes it impossible to prove or disprove anything, seeing as to how we aren't supposed to reach this "next level" of existence till we are no longer in contact with the living world as we know it.
no examples regarding spirituality but one way to prove non-existence is to demonstrate that the existence of something would violate something that is known to be true. but of course the non-existence of a god wouldn't be easy if it at all can be proven. but just because there isn't a known way to prove the non-existence of supernatural beings doesn't mean there isn't one.
personally i'm more leaning towards that there is no god. but i will not entirely rule out the other possibility without proof. usually i don't care though. it's just for principle.
Well explained. But I am one to think that if I have no proof something exists, then it doesn't.
Call me simple minded, but if this god people worshipped was actually great and loving, I don't understand 90% of the bullsh!t that goes on in this world today. Ya, he/she/it loves his/her/it's people so much, yet he doesn't care to protect them. Oh ya, that's right, it's the devil. But god is more powerful than the devil, right? Why doesn't he just get rid of the devil? Why does he cut through all the bullsh!t of living and take everyone on to heaven? Why doesn't he prove his existence to all those who do not believe in him? Wouldn't that make it easier? Oh ya, we're waiting for the trumpets to sound out. But the world is worse today than it ever was, right? Maybe we only know this now because of the ease of traveling information in the digital age. Why are there thousands of different religions in the world? Why do they all differ if there is only one god? Why do all these religions cause conflict? Why is religion the number 1 cause for war, where hundereds of thousands of people have died and suffered? I thought god loved all these people? Oh ya, he works in mysterious ways. Mysterious enough to make these people's life living hell. When a little girl is kidnapped, why do the parents pray for god to watch over her and take care of her, yet they never chastise god for letting her get taken in the first place?
It's all these questions that make me not believe. Everything in religion is so hypocritical with what we've been taught growing up. If there is a god and he is all-knowing, then show your self already. Until then, I'll continue living my life.
but i do look at some parts of religions as a positive force because it teaches some good values though whether the good outweights the bad i dunno.
