I had you pegged as the culprit, but for some reason I thought you would know that, your Lord and Lizard's name, Gojira, actually means something more like "Gorilla-Whale," than "God -Lizard."

Not really.  Only the Jewish High Priest knew how or was allowed to pronounce it, and only on Yom Kippur.  And the last Jewish High Priest died 1947 years ago.  But the approximate translation "I am, what I am" isn't far from the truth.  Not "It is, what It is".

In Kabbalah and Aggadah, G-d has many names, each an archangel.  In angelology ... John the Baptist being Sandalphon and Jesus being Metatron.  In their angel forms they are seraphim ... fire angels.

I woke yesterday and had the urge to seek a forum where atheists are calling upon God.
I searched on Google and this forum popped up.
I registered last night and this morning received confirmation that I can attend here.
something said I should look at the debates.
I found this one where an atheist decided to debate God.
I see he was waiting for a while, but why was I sent here?
Anyhow, I perceive God sent me here to speak to you.
What do you want?

You're from South Africa, huh? I'm from Belgium, so we're close to the same or  the same time-zone.
It get more lively during our nights, sadly that makes it so I'm often not on top of a lot of new threads and such.

Yes I saw you are living in Belguim.
Great country.
Have a few friends from Flandre, and some Dutch pals.
I dream to visit Germany, Holland, Belguim and Poland in the near future.

To be honest, I was really interested to speak to the gentlemen that made this thread where he waited for God to talk to him.
But unfortunately, he seems to have left.
It would be very interesting to speak to someone that would think God will join this forum and debate with him.

I can see the irony about his display, but would love to have continued this debate.

Just think what fun if an Atheist debates with God.
He dont believe in God, but wants to debate Him.

Flanders here as well.

Ik denk dat wij, met een beetje moeite, zo ook zouden kunnen praten.

In any case, I'm hoping you'll find what you seek on this forum.
Though I don't think you'll find many people who'd debate with God without believing he exists.
And those who do believe, I imagine, should be humble enough not to try :D

I am only on this forum to investigate Atheism, to understand why Atheists claim that they have evidence that there can not be a divine creator.

We here like to joke about the dutch speaking the way they do, and having smoke shops selling hash.

I am a token theist here ;-)  Would be happy to discuss the many pros and cons of human idealism (which is where human thought comes from ... ideas you know).  People here range from 20s to 70s mostly.  My favorite online pastor right now is a Dutch Reformed Church guy in Sacramento California.  Though not because he is Christian ... I am Jewish myself.  And most Jewish people are atheist, though I am not.

There are people here who were never religious, and some who are ex-religious.  And me ... a heretic.  It is good of you to explore the possibilities.

Actual debates here, or anywhere, run aground on the shoals of semantics.  We don't agree on the definitions of words, and that is even when we share the same language or general culture.

You are seeking understanding of what is an exception to a rule.  Some atheists claim to have evidence that there cannot be a divine creator.  But most atheists would disagree with them.  Such evidence is more in the category of opinion.  It's no more valid than the opinion that there is a divine creator.  But a few atheists will not like my opinion, if that makes you happy.

I will offer this.  I see the total lack of any evidence at all is proof that there is no god.  God is totally man-made; god did not make mankind, man created god out of whole cloth.  I will say the same about Jesus.

Unfortunately that is reverse abduction, not reverse deduction.

If A then B ... no B then no A is correct (Modus Tollens).

What is correct is If only-A then B ... no B then no A is what you mean.  There can be If C then B ... no B ... then maybe C or A depending.

You are correct that religion is man-made, so is scripture etc ... so is science and math.  There is no science or math without humans (or other sentients).  Plato would disagree .. you agree with Plato, then you are not a scientist, you are a particular kind of philosopher.  Your arguments against the Bible, which are justified, are the same arguments Plato made against Homer's writings.  Plato invented the university system BTW ... and we see that still in our colleges ... disturbed young people who are a threat to society ... exactly why the Athenians executed Socrates, and largely rejected Plato.

My problem with this logic is that man only discovered say...infrared and ultra violet light less than a 100 years ago.
The philosophical question would be, did Ultraviolet and infra red light exist before it was discovered?
to say there is lack of evidence to claim that there is no Creator, is no scientific deduction as proven by Baruch, the scribe.

Unfortunately, actual logic is real hard.  And is as only good as your BS axioms.  It works real well for plane geometry however.  This is why something really complicated, like theology or philosophy never can agree on anything.

To clarify for others ... if there are more than one cause for B ... then the lack of B isn't disproof of any particular cause, particularly if the lack of B is circumstantial not universal.  If not-B is universal, then all the causes of B are false, not just one.  Yes, it is that complicated.

My experience is that ... B.  His experience is that ... not B.  What is the justification for our variance?  Well, we don't agree on what B is, both semantically and factually.  My view of B is variant from other theologies, so I don't even agree with people who would be superficially close to my view.  This doesn't invalidate the existential experience of any human being however.  That gets us to absolutist objectivism ... which would deny all subjectivism.  What is ironic about most atheists is that they unconsciously and irrationally mix both objective and subjective POV ... which is inevitable for any human being, because we swim in both oceans.

Because humans have not discovered all there is to discover proves god?????  Or even indicates god???? And before flight; 'if god wanted man to fly, He would have given him wings.' --before anything was discovered it was claimed man should not do that because god had not allowed man to do that.  That has been proven wrong each and every time; sort of like the end of the world predictions--proven wrong every time. 

Mousetrap, I don't believe in anything.  I don't 'believe' the sun will come up tomorrow.  I think it will, for it has done so for millions of years and will do so for millions after.  Belief has nothing to do with it.  Plus, it does not 'rise' anyway, since it is only an illusion caused by the rotation of the earth relative to the sun.  Yet religion is still mired in the times when god allowed the sun to rise.

Even if God does exist, at the very least he's irrelevant, since he doesn't do anything. He doesn't answer prayer, he doesn't punish the evildoers, he doesn't reward the faithful. He isn't making the world a better place for us to live. He does nothing at all, and can therefore be discounted.

Personally I don't 'believe' in anything.  However, I do know the universe I live in is real and that understanding is backed by data and evidence, not wishful thinking.  The downside to that is that I don't know everything--very little actually, but what I do know is fact based--not wishful thinking.

OK, so this is the God you will worship?
I think you are confusing God with Batman.
Batman fights evil, makes Gotham city a better place to live in, rewards Arthur and Robin, and when the light shines in the night sky, he answers the citizens' prayers.
OK.
Your god sounds a lot like an action figure that should serve you.

These are examples of God/human interaction that are claimed by the righteous.  Unbeliever did not make these up to be used as straw men.  His point was that God doesn't do anything, least of all the things claimed by the God fans.  What you should take away from this is that a god who doesn't do what he is reported to do has an uncanny resemblance to a god that doesn't exist.  While this is not proof, it goes into the column for evidence of absence.

True, but not the way you think.  Creator as potentiality, and creation as actuality.  Potentiality is very passive by definition.  This is a flip-side definition, because usually, as Aristotelians, the creator is active and the matter acted on is passive.  The actual Biblical view is that G-d is Fate aka the past, not the future.  The past can't be changed, as fate can't be changed.  But you have to look back, not forward.  Looking forward we have free will, but looking backward it is a done deal.  That analogy comes about because of the "timeless/eternal" aspect.  In a sense, the past is timeless.  It is the present where time is active.  The future of course is always speculative.

Baruch the scribe of Jeremiah,
Where is Gan Eden?
Shalom

Wherever a Jew is (aka someone in relation to G-d) ... there is Gan Eden (garden of Eden).  Only I usually wear more than a fig leaf, except when I am in the shower.  So why are you chatting up all these serpents (aka dragons, not snakes).  Looking for buried gold, or a maiden in need of rescue?

"Where your heart is, there is your treasure also"

That actually sounds way better than the petty, vengeful, and schizophrenic overlord you believe in.  Is there a way to trade up?

The God of the Bible, even if it did exist, is certainly not worthy of either praise or worship:

What the Bible's God is really like (http://nullgod.com/index.php?topic=164.0)

I'm really glad the thing doesn't exist, or we'd have to kill it.

That is exactly the point for Greatest I Am.  So reject the Greek philosophy god also ... you Platonist ;-)

I woke yesterday and had the urge to seek a forum where atheists are calling upon God.
I searched on Google and this forum popped up.
I registered last night and this morning received confirmation that I can attend here.
something said I should look at the debates.
I found this one where an atheist decided to debate God.
I see he was waiting for a while, but why was I sent here?
Anyhow, I perceive God sent me here to speak to you.
What do you want?

Somehow it seems disrespectful to dig up a dead man's thread and start debating in it. Granted, you couldn't have known when you got here, but you have been informed so...

I actually realize that he was granted his wish.
He is debating with God personally.
