Bajingo: The evidence lies on my side. If you put the Christians' evidence and the Atheists' on a scale, it would show favor on our side. Of course, if you want to be so logical, you can't make any verifiable statement about this world. Suppose you say "the sky is blue"? Well, maybe you are deluded, or we all are, and we think we see blue but it's really yellow. It's an absurd example, but you get what I mean. If you want to use realy logic, you can't say anything definitively and be accurate about it in this world.
It works this way: If the evidence is great for one side and small for the other- you can safely deduce that it's true.
There is a great deal of evidence that the sky is blue, and little that it's not. Hence we make that deduction and make it a "truth," if you will...

Banjigo: If I had to share my evidence, I would have to write a dissertation for you. I can't do that, not right now!

Binjgo: I meant the gods we have invented. Obviously I am not refering to ones we didn't invent yet. You can't disprove something you don't know of. The answerer was suppose to understand this as an attack on their belief in a god (which merits his existence, at least in thought) not their disbelief...

Too long.
I don't get it - it's a no-brainer. Some of them must be lying, they couldn't all possibly believe this nonsense.

I don't 'realise that'.
Do you have some evidence that I don't?
I don't believe in god/s because I have no evidence of any deity , or even any evidence by which to form a meaningful belief. On the other hand, I don't have any evidence that there isn't some kind of deity, or deities. For all I know, 'god' could be all that exists. But I have no evidence for or against that either. So I'm not a 'believer'. I have no belief in gods. Isn't that 'atheism'?
Please share your evidence though....
UPDATE. I don't believe in the Christian god, there is so much evidence against that concept that it's a given.
But you didn't say 'The Christian God' in your question. Be fair...
UPDATE: OK, but you must admit that wasn't at all clear in your Q.
PS You managed to spell my name in three different ways, that is impressive by any standards ;-)

Why does this matter to you? You apparently are convinced. Isn't that all that matters--to you? There is no proof, nor can there be to the non-existence of any entity and in the case of God, one takes His existence by faith alone. That is the essence of belief. Belief either in the existence or non-existence of God is a matter of faith.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

probably 5 minutes longer than it takes for atheists to figure out saying "God" in such a context is an utterly meaningless statement, as precisely what people MEAN by "God" is immensely different with each group or individual.
you do not belive that what I call God does not exist. I can state this with absolute confidence. you do believe that what I call God exists. I bet you a million trillion dollars that you do.
the difference is that YOU just do not identify what I call God, as "God".
if the entity that one person, knowingly or unknowingly calls God, is real and is an alien(not "god"by the definition they thought, but an actual entity) does that mean their God is real or not?
unless you can be bothered to figure out that these definitions are relevant, you simply make yourself look like a kid who honestly and in ignorance asks "if we evolved from monkeys why are there still monkeys?"

There is a God. Most people in the world agree with me. Science has nothing to say or prove, or disprove of God. You may never see the day when most people don't believe in God.

Once we make up our mind as to whether we are going to seek God or not, there is no way we can be unbiased judges of the evidence for or against His existence.
We seek that which we hope to find and we often do that despite the apparent odds against finding it if the reward is great enough. So I think our desire to seek God or not is a direct measure of what we think God is worth to us. I seek God because I hope to find His love. Others reject God because they don't want an authority over them who constantly watches and judges them.

why do you have to be a negative ****. It is more likely there is some kind of creater than not. It is helpful to the human race to believe in a god.

You cannot prove there is no God. We cannot prove there is a God.
