Why can't people decide whether or not they exist and want they want from or for us?
Isn't such vehement disagreement an indicator that there is something rotten in the state of Denmark?

RealArsenalFan: Thank you for completely failing to consider any other god but your christian one.

Convictionist: People might question the nature of existence but have no doubt they exist themselves. Gods (mind the plural! I find christians often have difficulties remembering there are other gods), on the other hand, are both questioned and I say there is reasonable cause to doubt their existence.

Steve B: Like the other guy, you completely forget about all the other possible ideas that people have of god(s) and consider only your own. Par for the course with godbots like you I suppose.

I'm not so sure the disagreement is the answer to what is rotten in the sate of Denmark, thats down to Erik my landlord in England who lives in Denmark and I live in Vietnam...you can see how rotten this is getting.
Now Gods well they come ans are apparently self-evident at the time with burning bushes etc at the time. Then they stop this and eventually vanish. However man started taking notes and those notes are now claimed to be the evidence that God exists as they are taken to be God's word. Why would God in this day and age still use words and not just put a DVD inder peoples pillows. Yup religion is strange.

One of my favorite types of questions. You question everything about God or "the gods, (as you call them), and then you ask a question about why people like you question them. It is like non-believers calling us intolerant all the time and then asking questions about why we are intolerant. Quite funny really. Like the news media. They start their broadcast
with an assumption and then make a story based on that assumption.
So, if you don't want so many questions about God or the gods, why not stop asking them? Yes, something is rotten in Denmark. Your vehement disagreement is an indicator that you wish to make an argument by first making an assumption and then assuming that you are right, and then asking a question of which you already know the answer.
This process is very visible in our government. Some TV types and Democrats stated that President Bush said, " Iraq is an imminent threat." They call him a liar because of that untrue statement. But that statement was never made by Bush. The statement was, " before Iraq becomes an imminent threat." This process was perfected by Joseph Goebbels for the Nazi movement. He said, " if you tell a lie long enough, and loud enough, it becomes the new truth."

Gods exist beyond our senses. We are trying to perceive them, but fail due to our limitations. Much like our ability to examine our grand unification theory. We see some evidence, but only end up wanting more.
Perhaps the amount we can know about gods is all we can know without applying ourselves to the learning more about them. Then when we have an experience with a god, we have trouble explaining to others - as they have not had the same experience. This brings up questions as well.
And don't pick on Denmark, I know of a fine atheist over there - just up the coast from you.

This question is, in my humble opinion, based on a foolish form of deduction. For example, our existences are self-evident, yet I can easily think of a thousand different questions to ask about its nature and content, its structure and purpose.
While my retort doesn't defend the idea of God, it does prove your assertion worthless.

You know, when I was a christian and going to church, I remember asking my pastor questions at a younger age (around 12 or so), and I was told that I shouldn't question things. I should have faith! If I had questions, I was letting satan lead me astray, and my faith wasn't strong enough to put those thoughts out of my head.
That was the beginning of my path to atheism. Questions are GOOD. People should allow themselves to have them, explore them and find answers.

I like the fact that just about all religions agree that only their religion is the way to get into heaven. That actually means that there are more people saying that everyone is going to hell than there are people saying that they will get into heaven. So more people say that religion is bad than good.

Clearly, they are not self-evident, and the existance and purpose are left for anyone to manipulate. It is those who challenge the manipulation that draw the heaviest fire...

God is spirit and a result cannot be seen with these natural eyes, yet his works that are very much visible cannot be attributed to any other source. That is what makes him so self - evident and yet remain invisible!
He is invisible but his works are very much visible and undeniable!
