I can't see nor can I touch your brain so I have to asumme that you don't have a brain. You might say, Well we have x-rays and doctors have touched. But we have the Bible and we have men who have seen and lived with the Lord. So where is your faith?

There is much more evidence of my brain existing than your god existing.
Evidence for my brain:
1) We have dissected humans and all of them that were alive have brains.
2) We have x-rays of the brain, including MRI's that show activity of the brain as we're thinking.
3) We have seen how damange to brains caused decrease functionality of the person. Since I don't have that decreased functionality, my brain is intact.
Evidence for God:
1) Stories from over 2000 years ago by some superstitious people who said they saw God.
2) Other people who said that God talked to them.
Evidence against the Brain:
1) Nothing that I can think of.
Evidence against God:
1) Historical evidence that the stories about God are man-made.
2) Evidence of people making up similar myths, legends, and other fallacies, showing a definite tendency for people to do so.
3) Psychological evidence of the tendency of people to make stuff up and attribute it to things that aren't real, even to the point of imagining aliens, leprechaun, fairies, gods, and devils talking to them.
Or you could just follow your superstitious belief in supernatural powers as the explanation for everything and ignore evidence like so many others do.

Umm, It´s a fact that I have a brain. I don´t need to have faith to know that I have a brain. On the other hand, It is not a fact that God exists and you need to have faith to believe in this. For all we know, the bible is just a very elaborate story made with people who really existed. As for your question, I have more faith in my brain than I do in some Novel with characters who might have seen the lord(of whom we don´t even know exists). There ya go buddy, hope that clears up your question and have fun in church this Sunday.

You may have brain, but that doesn't mean it works properly;) according to the total lack of logic in your question, that's the only conclusion I can draw;)
As Atheists, we obviously don't have any 'faith';) ...(thought that was pretty obvious;)..About you having the Bible: what you have is just a re-make, a copy (quite inaccurate and erroneous) of ancient Sumerian texts dating back to around 5000 BC;) If I were you, I'd read up a little bit before making such claims;)

Every human cranium that has been examined has had a brain. Thus, by inductive logic, it a safe assumption that I, too, have a brain.
Can we apply logic to your argument about the existence of God?
The Bible proves God by ??????
Unverifiable, several thousand year-old reports of men who self-reportedly "saw and lived with the Lord" proves what exactly???
We do have people like today..they are in mental institutions.

The problem is that these "eyewitnesses" of Jesus 1. can't prove he was anything more than a man and 2. are not with us today. The Bible could easily been a work of fiction. There is no way to prove one way or another the intention of the authors as they are gone.

Look up hearsay evidence and how much weight we give it in our court system. That might shed some light on things for you.
I have a book that talks about 9 guys going to destroy a magic ring. Did it really happen?

We have the bible? - can you explain how a book that has been copied and translated numerous times with nothing to back it up is proof of anything whatsoever?
We have men who have seen and lived with the Lord?
You crack me up. Who do you know that has 'lived with the Lord'?
Whats his address? Is it on a bus route? Anyone who claims to have lived with the Lord has, at most, lived with a pyschiatric problem.

One problem... I don't care if you don't believe I have a brain. I didn't present my brain to you and tell you it can save you from all your worries. I certainly didn't say my brain could do anything at all for you. My brain is mine... it only works for me. =)

Is that supposed to make sense? Are you claiming humans are capable of living without a brain? That would explain a lot about religion.
