If you cannot prove something exists, then by default its proven that it doesnt exist. There is no need to further prove it. It makes no sense. Thoughts / ideas, emotions, feelings, they all exist but no one can prove that they do.

Yes, but the idea of a God is much more extraordinary than the idea of those things, so more proof is necessary before accepting it as a justified truth. And besides, all of those can be proven. Emotions can be proven through examining hormones in the brain / body. And feelings of course can be proven by the fact that we have senses. Its quite obvious to everyone. And all conscious brings have thoughts. The idea of a God doesn't have anywhere near the objective justification as those three. Tying to use subjective experiences as proof doesn't work because not everyone had those experiences, so its not objective at all. So there is no justified reason to accept God as being real.

Well then why are you asking about which Religion to choose?

Now I could use literature/scifi movies as facts and back up my opinion based on the "data" presented there. Religions where created by humans, deeply flawed beings just because it happened in the past doesn't give it more credibility. Maybe someone got it right by pure luck. But probably not.

In koran it was said that the earth is round 1400 years before

how a Mohammed Peace be upon him was had known that if it was not from god?

I was intentionally mimicking a religious person so I could see what people's reasoning was for choosing one religion over another. Disatisfied with most of the answers, I felt the gig should end.

Well then my prediction was right, you don't care at all. 

Thank You.

Correct, I do not care about which religion makes more sense than another. But I am interested in people's feelings towards religions. That's why I made this thread.

Well why did you not like the outcome? What were you actually expecting?

I was hoping that some god-based religious people would give some legitimate reasons for why they picked their religion over another. Instead, most people just said "go to whichever religion matches your morals" which doesnt make sense at all.

It makes sense. People go to what they feel is right. 

I'm guessing you aren't Religious, though, Jay. So I guess it would make sense that you don't understand why you have to go with what your heart and mind says. (I know that sounds mushy but it's true.) No one can tell you what you have to follow.

It doesn't. If you believe in God, then choosing a religion based on which has the best morals could lead you to an incorrect God. You would be choosing the religion which has the guidelines, rules, traditions, etc that you like. However, that would have nothing to do with whether or not that religion is based on a true God. I just dont see how anyone who believes in a God could base their religion off of something that doesn't necessarily move them towards the correct God.
