Christian argument: "Can you prove that god doesn't exist?"?

Question

Can you then PROVE that the Hindu or ancient Greek gods do not exist, and if not, why do you not believe in them?

Answer 1

They can't prove their own god exists yet believe, so by deduction they should believe in other religions gods.

The fact they don't is, in my opinion, proof that christians are complete hypocrites.

EDIT

Woooooooooo Hooooooooooo

Well done Barb K, another that helps prove my point that believers can't formulate an argument of their own, but can only make one using scripture.

Answer 2

I can't prove that a God of any religion does or doesn't exist. I see many people who quote from their particular "holy book' to prove that their God exists. But if you don't believe in that particular religion, then you don't believe in that particular book. So I don't see where the argument is any way compelling. I don't argue with anybody about their religion. I consider it a very private decision as to what a person wants to believe in. And it is their right to believe in whatever they want to. I don't even see the point of debating religion. I do see the point of talking about my spiritual life with my friends and discussing world religions with anybody who comes along in my social life. I find learning about other religions fascinating. Most religions preach to love your neighbor not to argue with him. I do wish people would do that. As to the bashing on here, that is pretty counterproductive, disrespectful and immature. (And I am not saying that you are doing that. Obviously you are just posting a question). If Christianity works for you, I think that's great. If Hinduism works for the next person, I think that is great, too. Have a super day!

Answer 3

How does anyone prove a negative? If you believe in something, like the existence of God, that is entirely based on faith, why do you care what anybody thinks?

Answer 4

In logic, one cannot prove a negative. That's been said over and over on here...I wonder when it will get through to people.

"People choose to reject God because their deeds are evil. Besides, deep inside their hearts, everyone knows that God does exist." What arrogance! What hubris! I have never done an evil thing in my life and I certainly don't "know" that God exists whatever you, in your egotistical way, have to say about it.

Answer 5

It is a logical impossibility to prove the non-existence of a thing.

Belief is not logic. It often relies, as far as logic goes, on the fact that "absence of proof is not proof of absence."

Answer 6

Anyone demanding proof of non-existence demonstrates he is either not asking a serious question, or, is a moron.

In either case, answering the question is a waste of time if the effort is intended to convince the asker.

Answer 7

shouldnt the question be can u prove that god DOES exist?

Answer 8

I know God, why do I need to prove whether or not He exists? Do you need to prove that your mother exists? Or your father? Or your best friend or spouse? You know they exist, and chances are it is proven to you fairly often by their presence in your life.

I know God exists because I know Him. He proves Himself to me every day by His presence in my life, and His grace manifesting in and around me. I trust Him and take Him at His word like I would my best friend.

Answer 9

Oh it makes my head hurt to read these answers! So are they not getting the point? In denial? Or just so incredibly arrogant to think that their god is the "one and only TRUE god"
I just don't get it.

Answer 10

Can you prove to science that he does. People need something to believe in.
