what kind of proofs do you need to believe in god ..
think like this .. we can prove that there is a radioactivity only by a special detector .. we can not prove thaere is a radio wave by weighing it ...
ok ...
GOD is invisible .. and can not be proven by seeing him ..
so what kind of proofs you prefer ..
for example .. messengers are a proof according to me .. because they were not liars .. and everyone supported the prophets before him ..
so if you do not want to take prophets as a proof .. then you must prove that they were liars .. can you prove it ..

You're comitting the logical fallacy of the false dichotomy (as well as a few others). This is giving only two choices when there are obviously more than two. The prophets could simply be wrong, not liars. What is proof to you is not proof to me.
The burden of proof is on the person making the claim. So, it would be on the prophets to prove they were telling the truth, not the people who they talk to to prove they are wrong. For example, you can't prove I don't have a 30 foot, purple anaconda living in my Toyota. Just because you can't prove it doesn't make it true. You'd need to see the snake in my car in order to believe me, right?

How many times has this been asked?
You know, I'm just going to copy and paste the last answer I wrote because it's basically the same exact response...
You say that it's "history", but you know, even in American history, half of it is bullshit. And the bible has talking snakes and magic. Oh yeah, that's so much more reliable. Think about it, if you wrote a book that would be the guidelines of a giant population for thousands of years, no matter what it said, wouldn't you write it the way you think humanity should live. To make it more believable, you'd say God told you to write it. If anything, the bible is an old philosophy book.

Your "proof" is as viable as the "proof" that there are leprechauns and unicorns. People talk about leprechauns and unicorns, there are stories about them so they must exist or have existed.
It is true that there is much of the physical world we cannot know with our senses including radioactivity, but the way we know about them is through the scientific process. We use a series of known physical laws which were established through physical experimentation that developed empirical evidence to figure out how the world we can't directly observe works. We are able to figure out through our indirect observations how things work and use those observations to predict what should happen when we test our theory. If you can show that your test results in your prediction then you are on the road to proving something. But religions continually fail all scientific tests. Prayers have no affect on the roll of dice or on the health of patients. God works "in mysterious ways" which essentially means no one can predict how He will work and therefore have renamed "random chance" God.

Who ever told you I WANT to believe in god in the first place? Think of the activity you're least interested in. Now, what would take for you to take up that activity? Most probably, it would be impossible, right? Well, this is the same. I am not interested in your god, your church or your salvation. Don't bother to get me interested because it's not in my genes. So, what would it take? Well, everything wouldn't be enough. It would take the impossible. It would take, to put it in your terms, a miracle. But don't hold your breath.

Of course you have to support the last prophet to pull off the scam. Two wrongs don't make a right any more than two liars make a truth.
Name a prophet you believe, please so I can find his lies.

Do you believe love exists? Insanity? These aren't things you can touch, but they produce a state of mind that changes your actions. I don't believe in a man sitting in the clouds that sits there and judges us all day long. But if the idea of God changes our behavior for good or for bad, then that notion of God exists.

This has been my answer more times today than I care to think about, but here I go again:
If your god is all-knowing, he knows what it would take to convince me of his existence; if he's all-powerful, he's fully capable of convincing me; and if he's all-loving, he wants me to believe so I can go to heaven. That I don't believe in him suggests that he either doesn't know what would convince me, (not all-knowing = not God) can't convince me, (not all-powerful = not God) just doesn't care whether I go to heaven or burn for all eternity, (not all-loving = not God) or he doesn't exist.

I can show evidence of radiation without a "special detector".
If you'd be so kind as to volunteer, we can begin immediately. You may wish to begin looking for a wig prior.

How do you know god is invisible?
Haven't there been countless christians that have claimed to have seen him?
Yeah, I'd have to have a face to face with the old man himself for me to believe.

There is no need for proofs. It's foolish not to believe in God. It takes more faith in what you have not seen to believe that eventually after un-measurable amounts of time, something that is impossible will happen. Life without intelligent design is obviously impossible. And they call believers in God idiots, narrow minded, bigots. What's really amazing is people that have a Phd in medicine that don't believe in God. I don't know how they can look at the un-fathomable complexity of something like the human brain, which we have been trying to emulate for 50 years and say that happened by accident. That's faith in the God of Time my friend. You can't see Time. What is impossible now, was impossible in the past, and always will be impossible.
