To an non believer, you say that God isn't. What have you got to back you up? No Really, Truely think about it

Question

I have My Father in Heaven,
The Word of God, The Bible,
And The Holy Spirit who lives within.
And a crowd of thousands upon thousands throughout the ages to today and tomorrow that have what I have and know that they know The One True God.
And nothing Compares!
Ask yourself, it really is important for you - the individual. apart from lack of Faith in something I can't see, what have I got to back me up.
And don't talk about science, because there is not enough evidence to prove either way, or we all would believe, and don't say it is intelligence because some of the most intellectual people alive are Christians.

Answer 1

We have a peace too that the world can't even begin to comprehend.

Answer 2

You make a lot of assumptions.
You assume you have a Father in heaven
You assume the word of god is the bible
you assume a holy spirit
You have a lot of people around you who are also assuming the same thing. However just because a lot of people do something doesn't make it right.
You assume not compares.
You can't see, smell, hear, taste, or feel. Not just see
Science has evidence, some are unwilling to try to understand it. You think that everyone would believe if science had the all the answers? There are still people out there that believe the world isn't round. They are crazy and delusional, but yeah there out there. Check Mississippi, I am deeply disturbed that I am in-law related to them (Aunt's Husband's Father and most of his family)

Answer 3

So you have an ancient book, some things you can't prove like a father in heaven and a spirit, and billions of idiots who at this point in time number 2.1 billion or so, a minority slice of the total world population of 6 or 7 billion.

Which god should I choose? There are many, all have about the same amount of proof (zero), and a lot are mutually exclusive (they can't ALL have created the universe).

Me, I have a good working model of the universe that does not require supernatural beings and plenty of evidence to back it up. And certainly not a bipolar monster like the Old Testament/New Testament god.

Answer 4

You are trying so hard to push this home, that you don't realize how many others have come before you with this same talk. You are not going to get people to believe in it... I'm sure you'll snag one or two, but overall, even those of us with beliefs but do not believe in the Bible, have books inspired by our Gods/Goddess (Of course, you'll disregard this because it has a Pagan or Wiccan title or historical writings of Ancient Gods would be viewed by you as Myths) But they are just as real to us as yours is to you. Holy Spirit? I know several people who claim a connection that is similar to what Christians call the Holy Spirit.

There are thousands upon thousands (in ancient times it was Millions considering almost everyone was Pagan- even many Jews) who believe as I do and here, nothing compares to it.

Science is based on finding Emperical Evidence. For Gods and Goddess' (including yours) there is NONE. all there is are proclaimed beliefs, that's it.

Answer 5

Can you prove the bible? Or did some old guys write it down and then it was twisted and warped by future translators?

You have nothing to back it up, just faith. Nor do I, I just think differently. I rationalize it to, why would a god care about us? We've been here for about 4000 years and I would have gotten bored and went off to start another planet with more toys on it.

God has forsaken us, so I have forsaken him and it will remain that way until god somehow shows me his great power by himself, not through any mindless drone.

Sorry if I offended anyone, just my humble opinions with little basis. Personal fact.

Atheist Criticisms of Religion

The bad

Not all atheists are hostile to religion, but many do think that religion is bad. Here are some of their reasons:

Religion gets people to believe something untrue.
Religion makes people base the way they run their lives on a falsehood.
Religion stops people thinking in a rational and objective way.
Religion forces people to rely on outside authority, rather than becoming self-reliant.
Religion imposes irrational rules of good and bad behaviour.
Religion divides people, and is a cause of conflict and war.
The hierarchical structure of most religions is anti-democratic, and thus offends basic human rights.
Religion doesn't give equal treatment to women and gay people, and thus offends basic human rights.
Religion obstructs scientific research.
Religion wastes time and money.

The good

Most atheists willingly concede there are some good things about religion, such as:

Religious art and music.
Religious charities and good works.
Much religious wisdom and scripture.
Human fellowship and togetherness.

Answer 7

And what do you have to back you up.
Heaven does not exist
The only thing that says the bible is true is the bible.
You believe you have been possesed by a ghost
There are millions and millions throughout the ages that know that god does not exist.
Science at least has plausible theories.Religion has none

Answer 8

Prove to me that the other countless Gods and Goddesses don't exist.

As for backing things up, it's mainly looking at why God can't be proven, rather then saying how God doesn't exist.

I thought I read somewhere that the higher IQ someone had, the less likely they were to believe in a God.

Answer 9

You have to have a reason to think that something is or you are just making a wild guess. The fact that there is nothing to indicate any god, let alone your god in particular, means that there is no more reason to believe in him than there is to believe in Odin.

What I am saying is answer why you don't believe in Bacchus and what have you got to back that up? My answer is exactly the same.

Answer 10

I beleive in God, not your "new" testament, to me, it's a designer impostors version of the Bible, and for all that you non Mormon christians laugh at them "falling for" their added book, you already did it when you took the new testament as a true book... You are to me as Mormons are to those to claim they are not "real christians". Even if it means you just stop making fun of Mormons to hear it written out that way, at least there will be a little more kindness on the planet for it.

Answer 11

I have the fact that free will is a literal impossibility in the universe in which we exist. This conflicts with any theistic conception of deity, leaving only deism and atheism.

As the only difference between deism and atheism is that deism calls the initial formation of the universe an act of deity and atheism calls it an act of nature, Occam's razor kindly and humanely dispatches deism.

Only atheism remains.
