Can any man make a tree from nothing, can he do anything that God has not seen fit to allow. There is a God.

10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!

6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."

3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.

2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.

That's the same question I ask myself when you see all the evidence around us. Although we can't see God we can be assured of his existence by many of his qualities that can be seen through his wonderful creation. From the tiny atom to the vast universe that we only know a fraction of, there exist the most complex of life forms that are so intricately made that we are still learning about them. The many instinctly wise creatures such as migratory bird reflects the wisdom from above. (Ps. 19:1; Ps. 104:24: "How many your works are, O Jehovah! All of them in wisdom you have made. The earth is full of your productions." Rom 1:20: "His invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world's creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made."
So why would people not believe that God doesn't exist. The reasons range from "If God existed why does he allow all of this wickedness to continue, or "Science disproves creation."
Despite my reasoning most would still not believe in the existence of God. So how can the "intellectuals" still fail to grasp the existence of God._ Matthew 11:25: At that time Jesus said in response: "I publicly praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intellectual ones and have revealed them to babes." Statements made by such ones only confirms what the Bible already says. God reveals himself to pure or honest-hearted ones._Matthew 5:8. I hope this answers your question. In addition I have a link of why God allows wickedness, supported by the scriptures.

There's no proof that any god exists that can make a tree either. One tries to make "him" do his tricks and get "thou shalt not tempt the lord thy god" for your trouble. What kind of proof is that - if evolutionists said "This is true, and you can't say otherwise because you shouldn't question it", what kind of respect would anyone have for the theory? Same principle applies to the theory of god's existence.

The existence of what? Has this God of yours ever been defined in terms of his actual metaphysical nature or do we always just get long lists of his secondary & personality traits?

And if there's nothing to deny then you cannot accuse me of being in denial. First you must prove that something exists to be denied. The burden of proof is on you.

Please... provide concrete evidence or accept that some of us will adhere to the default philosophical position of non-belief until the positive assertions of the believers are proven true.

You offer no proof of anything.
Why do people who believe in God fixate on the people who do not and on converting them to your belief??
Why is God so fickle then? Why did he abandon us ? Why is he such an absent parent? If there is a God then He is a dead beat dad........he should never have allowed Satan to be our step parent... If he truly Loved us he would make himself more available to us when we are in need.

Men will always try to be their own god. To do this, they need to deny God's existence.

Easy, I just don't see enough evidence. How can anybody believe in the existence of something unprovable and think they're right?

Because god doesn't exist, if he did then why doesn't he send us all to heaven and hell since he knows the future, therefore he knows who sins and doesn't and who will go to hell and heaven.
