haha, why would I need to prove anything? My own thoughts on God are from more than a couple decade's worth of university level and personal investigation in world religion mixed with a firm foundation in Computer Science (as well as most other sciences). That experience and knowledge is not something I can "prove" to you in a forum post. Nor do I have the desire to prove anything to anyone. My belief could be 100% wrong, partially right, or 100% right and none of it matters to anyone. Existence continues to exist, light continues to build everything, matter continues to pass from one form to another without loss, and the concept of God will continue to be debated. All that really matters is that you be a good person and treat others (human or otherwise) as you'd like to be treated. That can be done with our without a belief in God. |
It does matter for a couple of reason.
First of all, I actually believe that religion, in most of its conventional forms, runs counter to treating people how they wish to be treated.
Secondly, if there is a god, and we can know things about him, I'd like to know. I try to believe in the truth insomuch as possible.
Whatever god you believe in, do you believe that it influences the world in any way?

Yes. It is ironic when people argue with "but science", however when science comes up, they have no clue whatsoever. That is why anti-theists or "a-theists" are, from my perspective, in the same range as creationists and other dead end minded extremists. You're not interested in a discussion, let alone a fruitful discussion. You want to propagte your belief and convince others that it is the only truth.

The reason why I'm not interested in a conversation is because I never said anything about science, and you've now twice insisted that my argument is "but science". You have some opinion you wanted to spout that had nothing to do with anything I said. So you can just spout it without me.
