"There's a HUGE difference between religious gods and the philosophical concept of God. For most philosophers, whether they argue for or against the existence of God, they've all agreed on the definition of God as being "perfect."…"

"Who's to say you're not interpreting it incorrectly? Are you a well-learned theological scholar, or did God inspire you with His intentions?"

"It is, indeed, a very leading question. But look what wonderful debate it's sparked! More fun for us than for Mercedes, I'm sure."

"I have been religious for 39 years of my life that has given me a lot of proof that god cannot exist. so no argument can change my perception."

Ed replied to Emily DW's discussion 'What's Your Best Argument For God?'
"My favorite one, and it is a romantic notion, is that if you take the time to stop and observe the intricacies of  nature and our planet one should make a natural progression to attributing god as the cause. If we don't currently…"

Daniel Rockwell replied to Emily DW's discussion 'What's Your Best Argument For God?'
"Of course.  you highlight some very true problems with God as defined by man. It is possible to conceive of a different sort of god than the way he's been presented to us.  Maybe he is imperfect, or maybe he is some sort of…"

Alan C replied to Emily DW's discussion 'What's Your Best Argument For God?'
"Daniel, the only problem with your hypothesis is: where did god come from?  Theists insist that something cannot come from nothing, yet their god(s) apparently did just that. And not only that, your hypothesis assumes that the god may be the…"

Gallup's Mirror replied to Emily DW's discussion 'What's Your Best Argument For God?'
"If there are any good arguments I have yet to hear them so it's difficult to choose a best one. I feel like I've been asked to describe the best way to be lowered into boiling oil. If I absolutely had to choose a best argument it would be…"

Logicallunatic replied to Emily DW's discussion 'What's Your Best Argument For God?'
"Being very generous here but the fine-tuning of the physical constants is not a bad argument for god. It falls flat on its face of course when you think we are the observers: if we weren't here to see them then some…"

matt.clerke replied to Emily DW's discussion 'What's Your Best Argument For God?'
"Argument of design with irreducible (unevolvable) complexity, is probably the most valid argument for a creator. The only problem is, we are yet to find anything which is irreducibly, unevolvably, complex... hence, I am an atheist."

matt.clerke replied to Emily DW's discussion 'What's Your Best Argument For God?'
"Actually, it's not the idea that gives birth to it... It already exists, you're just thinking about it. Except in the case of things which ideas give birth to.... in that case, we are currently meta-thinking about the idea giving birth to…"

Ken Hughes replied to Emily DW's discussion 'What's Your Best Argument For God?'
"I never advocate for any god, especially the one with the upper case g, under any of its many guises, so I suppose I must opt out of this line of reasoning.  I'm a highly visible atheist in Decatur, Texas, out in the open is best."

Keith Murphy replied to Emily DW's discussion 'What's Your Best Argument For God?'
