Permalink Reply by matt.clerke on November 15, 2012 at 5:19pm Hi again Micmic,
So the god you are talking about is the Jesus Christ from the bible? I havn't actually read all of the bible (got bored around Leviticus), so why don't you tell us what you think about Jesus.
is he real? why should i believe him? where is he now?
This is an atheist site, so I feel happy answering these questions for the group... no, you shouldn't believe him, he doesn't exist.

Permalink Reply by Matt Thomas on November 14, 2012 at 9:05pm All you need is to ask for evidence before believing something to be true. Since we can never be absolutely 100% sure of anything we can only be more sure of one thing than we can of another. Remember the more exceptional the claim is, the more exceptional the evidence required.

Does it really make sense if someone really think about it that everything in the universe was made by some guy, and not only that, that he's human enough that we were made in his image?
Hahahahaha!!!
Permalink Reply by Heather Spoonheim on November 14, 2012 at 7:21pm How can I say that water doesn't exist? Well, I can't because I have ample evidence of it and it defines my very existence. Perhaps water does not exist and neither do I - and so neither does this response.
As far as other things like gods and worm-wood-spirits - well I've never seen them and as far as I know they are just stories made up by primitive people to explain the inexplicable. Now that we have explanations for what those people found inexplicable, we know for a fact that their gods and wood-worm-spirits do not exist.
Lately theists have been reinventing their conceptualization of gods because, it seems, even they know they do not exist. This for me just proves that the idea never had any merit. Perhaps they'll eventually define something that does exist, but that will have no connection to any concept of a god that I ever held, so again there is no such thing as gods.
Permalink Reply by archaeopteryx on November 14, 2012 at 7:43pm To illustrate your point, as if to head off any criticism as to why their god doesn't hang around Earth as much as he used to, the Mormons have explained in advance that he lives on the planet, Kobol.
Guess that would make him a Kobolite. Koboling? Kobolian? Kobolian has a good feel to it --

Permalink Reply by SteveInCO on November 14, 2012 at 8:24pm LOL. And lest someone take that seriously:
Nah, that's COBOL. Odd little language; by the time you finished declaring everything you're basically done. Nonetheless I will bet it's still in use in a lot of places. Just like FORTRAN.
