Watched a few religious channels and now I think I understand

That right there folks is when you know it's time to back away from a discussion with a theist.

It's one of the best tricks in their bag. Prove it doesn't exist.

Your child has an invisible kangaroo for a best friend. Can you prove the kangaroo doesn't exist?

When a roommate was feeling cornered during a religious discussion, he would many times resort to "well, you just have to have faith". And, he was a smart, likable guy. It was pitiful and dissappointing. He was an exceptional persussionist who graduated from a music conservatory only to have it stomped on when got sucked into the church of christ. They supposedly don't like music.

Shall I continue? It's not a matter of proclaiming to know better than anyone. We follow the evidence. There is none for your side. None.

Well, if you're asking me, please don't, not at least until you understand the point which you're contesting and are able to submit proof that there is no such thing, whether evidence held by anyone, or God.

I'll get started on that as soon as you prove that unicorns don't exist, astrology doesn't do anything, homeopathy is worthless and UFOs haven't visited the Earth.

Hint: it's impossible to prove a negative.

Well, some say that this god controls the weather. It rains until there are floods and things get wiped out. Sometimes, people get wiped out also. I seem to remember a little tidal wave that caused some problems in indonesia a few years ago...

God hates Indonesians. They're inferior, undeserving people. Mostly Muslim I believe. God only loves Catholics, or was it Quakers? Hmm, well in any case he doesn't like Indonesians... Or Jews :^D

All I have to contribute to this thread is a quote.

"When I was a kid I used to pray to God for a bike. Then I realised God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike, and prayed to God for forgiveness."

Might as well. You're a sinner anyway, and I'd sure hope God wouldn't send you to Hell for stealing a bike, though he does seem to get pissed off at some people for eating the wrong things, so who knows.
