Atheists say there is no proof for the existence of God.?

Question

However, there is a lot of proof, but that is not the point of this question. What evidence do you have that proves God is not real? Can you convert me from a Christian to an atheist? It will not be easy, but if you can do this, I will be forever in your debt.

Hello people did you read the question? First of all, I am not converting from Christianity to atheism. I am merely trying to state the opposite question you impose on Christians. I did not include proof for the existence of God because that is not the point of this question. The point is for atheists to explain why God is not real. If you are an atheist, you should be able to defend YOUR belief. Can you? Looks like you can't.

Answer 1

God is real and i know that it is going to be hard for someone to believe, if that person doesn't want to believe at all. it is going to be a never ending debate with the athiest. because they are completely blind and numb about the existense of God. like for example why do you love? do you need to have facts and proofs before you love someone? why do we have emotions? But if you do not want to believe in God, you never will.

Answer 2

For a non-believer no proof is sufficient, for a believer none is necessary.
I was a non-believer until I was given a vision while I slept at age 13. Until then Jesus was the same as the Easter Bunny for me, I once got beaten up at like 8 for telling a kid their parents were Santa.

Life is a mystery. If it comes to pass all that is left of me as an individual is the effect I leave with those still chemically alive and a return of my elements to the world I borrowed them from, so be it. I hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

I do not subscribe to the knee jerk fundamentalist brand of Christianity. All I know is there is more than the liveaday/eat/poop/die existence. Why? More soul searching than I can get into here. But I have touched the divine in prayer and it has touched me, I know I have an immortal soul but I will defend to the death my fellow American's right to believe otherwise so long as it does not harm the commonwealth.

Answer 3

I'm not an Athiest, but this question really is backwards.

By definition, religion is based on faith. So, if you use logic and ignore faith, it actually makes perfect sense to say that there is no God and therefore it would make sense to be an Athiest.

This question could also be asked of Pagans, various tribes in jungles and on islands, etc. How can you disprove the existence of something that by definition can't be proven or disproven? What about Thor? Or Poseidon? I would say there is more evidence for the God of the Sea than for a Universal God that encompasses all, if you're merely looking at physical proof.

I am curious as to what "proof" there is of God. If you have it, you should share it, so everyone can come to consensus...

Answer 4

Take a begginer logic course.

You cannot prove the non-existance of something. You can only prove the existance of something.

You are purposely framing an unanswerable question. You know that this is impossible to answer correctly and you are hoping to make it seem like you have stumped the atheists. However, many people will see thru your illusion.

If you want to stick with line of reasoning, then prove that leprachauns do not exist.

Heck, prove that the god Odin or Ra do not exist. You cannot even claim there is only one god if you stick with this line of reasoning. The infamous Flying Spaghetti Monster cannot be proven to not exist. Therefore, we must believe in it? The only logical course of action is to believe in something that can be proven to exist. However, you know that is impossible to do for a god or any other fantasy creation. So, you skip that question and instead jump straight to the illogical question.

One final note. Try to give an example of a proof of a god not existing. You will find that it is impossible. Try to give an example of proof of leprachauns not existing. No matter how hard you try, you cannot come up with either of these.

Answer 5

I am not looking to convert people. Researching and deciding what to believe for yourself is the way to go in my book. The burden of proof is always on the one making the claim and the more outrageous the claim the greater the burden. You say there is a lot of proof but I disagree and you fail to cite any. Babies, sunrises, and the complexity of the universe are not proof. We have natural and rational explanations. Subjective religious experiences are not proof.
There is in short no proof and it is far more logical to not go around believing in things for which there is no proof and which are counter to reality as we know it.


Defend your lack of belief in tiny invisible people living under your bed. Sounds silly doesn't it? Can you prove definitively they aren't there? Would you require proof of such a thing before you started believing it? Now you may be starting to get the idea of atheism. It is not about belief that must be defended it is about NOT believing in wild claims without evidence. Atheism only labels what a person doesn't believe. I also would call myself a humanist and that label defines what I do believe in the way theism defines your beliefs to a degree.

Answer 6

Whatever gave you the idea that atheists want to or even try to convert Christians? Why should anyone want to convert you? And why would you be "forever in your debt", if someone could convert you? Are you unhappy being a Christian? This is very confusing and you obviously did not think this question through before you asked it.

Answer 7

It's not a matter of having proof that God isn't real.

What proof do you have that the gods Zeus or Huitzilopochtli aren't real? No proof? Well gee, then how can you believe that they don't exist?

Disbelieving in God isn't a matter of proof--you Christians say it's all about faith anyway (convenient, no?). If I've got no reason to believe in God, then why should I? Just because a whole bunch of people say so? Well, a bunch of people used to say the sun rotated around the earth--doesn't make it true.

Converting Christians isn't a part of my agenda, however. You will believe whatever you want, while I will believe whatever I want.

Answer 8

Wanting something to be real, no matter how sincere the wish, simply does not make it true.

Atheists are not remotely interested in 'converting' anyone, firstly because we do not have any kind of belief system to 'convert' anyone too. But also because sanity is a personal choice and believers have chosen the opposite.

We merely wish to ensure that this kind of nonsense remains out of the schools, courts and governments.

Answer 9

The question of your faith is one only you can discover the answer to for yourself. Any beliefs (or lack thereof) that you follow due to being "convinced" won't sit nearly as fully in your heart as ones that you've come to on your own terms.

Whether or not you believe in God, whether or not you see "proof" where others see lies, depends entirely on you. Being an atheist or a christian isn't a matter of debate - you simply are or you aren't.

Answer 10

I can't prove God isn't real. Neither can I absolutely prove that the Easter Bunny, Tinkerbell, Jeff the Supermatural Tartan Tomato or Pink Man-eating Mushrooms aren't real. I just see no evidence to conclude they do exist.
