Alrighty.

So, basically, from what you've said -- or claim -- you've disproved Christianity, and that their God is fake, the way they portray it.

First of all, provide some links on that, won't you?

Second of all... the most fun part for me to see you guys try to do...

... PROVE THAT FAERIES AREN'T REAL AND THAT PAGANISM IS WRONG!!!!

I'm asking you to do this because I *know* the Christians are fed up with you picking on them, and because you guys say "fairies arent real n neither r ne gods".

So, go ahead, prove it.

And don't give me that "you can't prove a negative" crap.

If anyone took Plane Geometry, you know you can prove a negative.

Good luck. :: Salutes. ::

Actually, the same arguments that are used against the Christian mythology can be used against the pagan myths. There are better, more predictive explanations for all the phenomena that don't require the ideas of spirits or other supernatural hocus-pocus. The basis with *all* these mythologies is that humans have a tendency to attribute personalities to natural forces and natural laws. People seem to need to think that there is intelligence when there is only complexity.

The belief in 'mother earth' is really no more or less silly than a belief in a 'father in the sky'. Both are ultimately outmoded ways of thinking that we just have to get over. Mysticism in all forms is just intellectual laziness.

Your assumption that scientists have disproved the existance of God is incorrect.

Scientists have found no evidence for God. Everything that humanity has learned about nature through the scientific method can be explained without a "God factor". This means that the result of an experiment are exactly the same whether or not we include God in the equation. Since God is a non factor, he is not needed as part of the explanation, since science is dedicated to the persuit of natural explanations to observable phenomena (as opposed to supernatural explanations). So, we cut God out of the explanation as an extra term (occam's razor). The theory works just as well without god as with god (this applies to every scientific theory from thermodynamics to evolution to gravity).

Scientists, or anyone else, haven't proven that God exists, that's all. People can believe whatever they want, but since atheists are materialistic (belief that the material universe is all that exists), some naturally wonder _why_ anyone would believe in something for which there is no evidence.

It's not hard to understand, if you can put yourself in another's belief set and see the world through their eyes.

I believe in faeries, Santa Claus and leprechauns. I don't know why people have to act so impossible when it comes to religious matters. What does it matter what anyone here believes if you have faith in what you believe? Faith is faith- truth and facts are just that. That's like someone saying that they refuse to believe that 2+2=4. Why are we trying to put a mathematical equation to belief? I think it's great that we as humans can believe in anything positive when there is so much that is negative. Good for you if you believe in god, mother earth, faeries, etc etc etc.

you do no longer only have administration of your flesh, you look to worship it. do you like people to have self belief which you will bodily injury them once you enter a room, or do you like them to be attracted to you, and hear your message? a stable physique ability no longer something to Jesus. a stable heart does. much less routines greater preaching! As for atheists being wimps, why hurl such venom on the very people who we attempt to save? sure you've gotten been scarred, yet we could proceed the combat for souls.

I have no problem with people believing in God. No one can prove the none existence of god. My problem is with those who ignorantly refuse to look for the truth before condemning people who are born different than themselves.
They'll insist it's a choice rather than look and see what medical science says about birth anomalies.

Simple,

You never have to prove a negative. In other words, for something not to exist, all there must be is a lack of evidence for it's existence, not evidence that it does not exist.

I don't have to proove that god or faeries don't exist, you have to proove that they DO exist.

And here I was content to watch the Christians and Atheist have their battle of beliefs. Why do you have to drag us Pagans into this? Faith is a PERSONAL choice and by definition cannot be proven. It any was proven as irrefutable then it wouldn't be faith it would be fact.

well I don't think I am a hot shot, and I was lousy in math so I don't even think I made it to geometry, but I can tell you this, in my opinion I don't think it can be proven, nor disproved, and the same with god as well, I never said I know that god doesn't exist, it's just what I believe, as much faith as a person has in god I have in my belief

You can prove a negative in mathematics certainly.

But the issue you address is - Lack of proof is not absence of proof. IOW just because we can't prove it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
