Answer 1

One day, God was touring Heaven and noticed that the Pearly Gates were terribly scratched and worn. So he asked St. Peter, "What's happened to the Gates?" St. Peter replied, "It's from all the sinners who struggle and grab on when they're told they're going to be cast into the bottomless pit." God said, "If this is the work of sinners, then it's Satan's responsibility. Tell him he has to pay for the repairs!" Back came the reply from Satan, "So sue me!" God read Satan's words, sighed and shrugged. St. Peter said, "What shall we do, Lord?" God replied, "There's nothing we can do. He's got all the lawyers."

Answer 2

Sometimes atheist assert that there is no proof that God exists. The only problem is that an atheist cannot logically make that claim.


In order to state that there is no proof for God's existence, the atheist would have to know all alleged proofs that exist in order to then state that there is no proof for God's existence. But, since he cannot know all things, he cannot logically state there is no proof for God's existence.


At best, an atheist can only state that of all the alleged proofs he has seen thus far, none have worked. He could even say that he believes there are no proofs for God's existence. But then, this means that there is the possibility that there is a proof or proofs out there and that he simply has not yet encountered one.


Nevertheless, if there was a proof that truly did prove God's existence, would the atheist be able to accept it given that his presuppositions are in opposition to the existence of God? In other words, given that the atheist has a presuppositional base that there is no God, in order for him to accept a proof for God's existence, he would have to change his presuppositional base. This is not easy to do and would involve a major paradigm shift in the belief structure of the atheist. Therefore, an atheist is presuppositionally hostile to any proofs for God's existence and is less likely to be objective about such attempted proofs.

Answer 3

Sorry but the burden of proof is on the person making the extraordinary claim.

I could say that fairies really do exist, there's loads of books written about them, I've even seen them myself. Would you really then expect me to demand that you prove that they don't exist?

Answer 4

This category is not exclusively for those with a religious belief,it is a forum to discuss religion and spirituality.If you cannot debate your beliefs maybe you should ask yourself how strong they are

Good job wasting ten points on 3 paragraphs of uselessness. But hey I get 2 points now, yay!

Answer 6

So sorry sweetie. So long as the christians keep trying to convert people, influence schools and polotics, the atheists will always be there to keep you in check. Get used to it.

Answer 7

For those that believe, there is no question of proof. For those who do not, there is never enough proof. Creation...look around at nature's bounty....is God in action.
