Ever thought religions AND atheists are correct?

Question

Religion says God exist through personal experience or belief.

Atheists says God does not exist because there is no physical or scientific proof of God.

Atheists just proves that God is not something physical but more mystical which they do not BELIEVE in.

And religion just proves that God is something mystical and personal than physical.

Answer 1

There is significant evidence that early Christians viewed god as a mystical inner state of being, and not some old man in the sky out there somewhere.

That type of god is compatible with atheism, but it seems to me to cause confusion by referring to it as god.

Answer 2

I think so in many ways they are both right, and likely in lots of ways incorrect. Who can know all of the Infinite? No human can or ever will be all knowing. Though, through progression and the long journey through time and the intervening levels to eternity, we can eventually know more and more of God. Religions often just stop with what they have on papers of old rather than progress into new knowledge... but that's the way it is with people who don't really ask the questions and seek the answers with a whole hearteness.

Answer 3

I see what you're saying. But, according to the OT, he at least manipulates nature to do his will (flooding, earthquakes, bears, etc) so he is physical. However, many will say that God is a spiritual concept, one of love but atheists deny the spiritual world, insisting that any and everything can be explained by something physical-either it already has or it will when scientific research/tests become more advanced.

Answer 4

I could never understand why some Atheist get so twisted about someone believing in God. I rather live next door to someone that follow those 10 commandments then not.
I sometimes think that Atheist take the bad things men do under the name of religion and decide to label everyone like these few bad people.
I love science but it is always proven wrong too and there are bad men that take the name of science to there own ends.
In the End I think its people not science or God that is wrong or bad to believe in.
I think we don't want to blame ourselves or that man himself can be very evil.

Answer 5

i think you are asking if they are both correct. i think the evidence is inconclusive. spiritual and physical are two different things, if god is a spirit you may never find him in the physical universe right? but who has the power or authority to say that a spirit does not exist? you can make up a spirit if you want to, i make the spirit of happyfun where i spin in circles... and in just a few seconds the spirit shall be upon me to enjoy.

Answer 6

I guess it depends on how you define God. If you view the universe itself as God, I guess you could say both are right. Other people define human kindness as God, which can be more compatible with atheism. Most organized religions describe God as an actual being, though, so they can not be compatible with atheism.

Answer 7

You could be correct but for the usage of the word "proof" with religion.

There are other factors to consider though such as contradictory statements and concepts included in most religions.

Answer 8

God or gods created Earth, Monkies threw poo and evolved, Humans throw figuritive poo at each other. Take a look at some of these comments! But that is not my personal opinion.

Answer 9

No, I haven't.
Unless or until compelling evidence comes to light or a god reveals itself to me in some conclusive way, there's no reasonble position to take other than atheism.

Answer 10

You have a very strange perception of what constitutes 'proof'. If you had to pay whoever it was that taught you 'logic', I'd say that you are entitled to a complete refund.
