To all you atheist who ask where is this God, do you see him?

Question

Do you see the wind?
How do you know it's real?
Because you see the effects.
Same with God, you don't see him, you see his effects on the Earth

Because God is immeasurable

and this question isnt hostile or anything

Answer 1

I can easily measure air pressure, speed and direction.

I can collect air and seal it in a balloon. See that stuff pressing at the inside of the balloon trying to get out? That's air, that is.

Bring me a balloon full of god and we can talk.

Answer 2

The decrease of birth rate in a number of regions could be shown to closely correlate with the decrease of storch populations in those countries. Do you now believe that the storch bring the kids?
Alternatively, for followers of the church of the FSM: global warming is a result of the decreasing numbers of pirates...

which means you have to look at cause and effect very carefully to make sure that you are looking at the real thing. We do understand very well what causes wind, and how wind causes swaying trees, hurricanes etc itself.
We don't understand what and how god has effects. So far I am not aware of a single universally accepted proof of gods existance (choose any god) - fortunately for god, for if that would happen we would try to label god as a natural force or something like that...

Even if we ignore all that: the effect is due to which god? There are several thousand to choose from...

Answer 3

Which effects are those? The intolerance of most Christian religions? The solid belief that many of God's followers have, that no one is right unless they believe JUST as they do? The deaths caused by religious wars? The amount of money spent on building huge, overblown churches while the hungry and homeless scrabble for survival down the street?

If that is God, no thank you.

Answer 4

I want to see someone measure the wind with a barometer, that would be a miracle and posibly prove there is a god. Try a anometer

Answer 5

>Same with God, you don't see him, you see his effects on the Earth

It's funny, but your final proof is also mine. I don't see god, and I don't see ANY effects attributable to him on Earth. I see a lot of things and people, but they are all explainable by rational means. Everything. All that is here is explainable within the confines of cause and effect. I don't need to resort to god to explain a rock, or a flower, or a man or a 747 jumbo jet. All of these things can be explained by boringly conventional means. You are welcome to your god if these rational explanations BORE you, but I decline to participate.

Answer 6

We can see the wind. Just not with our eyes. Science has ways of measuring wind and has ways of causing wind. It's testable.

Answer 7

We're going to have to start drinking to this.

You don't see "God's" effects on the Earth. If you did, you'd have pointed those effects out to us by now, and you would have certainly done so in your question. Instead you posted that tired old "wind" analogy.

The fact that you thought enough of this argument to post it serves as yet another demonstration of the fact that believers generally don't know much about religion and spirituality. I suggest that you sit back and listen, ask some sincere questions, and learn.

Me, I'm going to go pop the cork now.

Answer 8

Is there some kind of "Standard mindless questions to ask atheists" manual they hand out somewhere?

My kindom for an original question form Christians!

Answer 9

I don't see the effects. I can point at anything and go "My Uncle Fred made that", it doesn't mean it's true. The world in and of itself is not an 'effect' of any god.
I'm not atheist because I can't -see- god, I'm atheist because I have absolutely no scientific inclination to believe that he's there.

Answer 10

The wind is generally a result of a low pressure system meeting a high pressure system and the two systems working toward establishing equilibrium.
