Assuming we're talking about the dude that created the billion, billion, billion, billion, billion, billion, billion, billion of billions of galaxies, we also have to assume, IF HE SHOWS UP, that he can prove without any doubt, he is that dude. So what if he screwed up a few details? I mean that kind of accomplishment would have to overshadow a few minor screw-ups. The problem is: he hasn't showed up so far (HINT, HINT, HINT...)

Yeah, so god created all that, but he also has a personal relationship with each and every believer on a minor planet on the outer arm of the Milky Way galaxy. That god. But not if you are black, African and starving, but only if you are white, American and have middle class parents. Then pray for your Furby for xmas and it'll happen.

I'd ask why he made me leave my fucking rolling papers at home while I'm stuck sitting in a Toyota dealership waiting room for 2 hours.

I'd believe in God if He smites all the Hypocrites and phoney people in the world.

Who would worship him then?

Show me a god.
The point is that only God can prove his own existence. Nobody can. So if he doesn't show up, game over.

 :blank: When I look in a mirror I see God, if I didn't, then nothing would exist for me, including me.  Think about it! Our brain takes in information from the world around it and creates what we experience.  :iidea: So reality is just information for us, but what is it really, that provides this information to all of us?  :borg: :eek:  :music2: :pidu:  :undecided: :blank: :angel:  :cool:

From the wiki page on scientific method:
Quote
Scientific researchers propose hypotheses as explanations of phenomena and design experimental studies to test these hypotheses via predictions which can be derived from them. These steps must be repeatable to guard against mistake or confusion in any particular experimenter. Theories that encompass wider domains of inquiry may bind many independently derived hypotheses together in a coherent, supportive structure. Theories, in turn, may help form new hypotheses or place groups of hypotheses into context.

So this.
A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticise work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life’s realities â€" all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. -TR

3) Make a woman that is smoking hot who isn't bitchy or needy and just makes me "sammiches" when I ask.

4) Get rid of reality tv.

5) Abolish taxes
Hey man don't knock skinny jeans.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but aren't skinny jeans just tight pants? :think:

Faith is about believing in things unseen, that have no objective proof. When I was a theist, there was beauty in that...but, as an atheist...if evidence were presented, it would fail to be called 'faith.'
Religion would cease to exist, if what it contained (any of them)...could be objectively proven.
The only lasting beauty, is the beauty of the heart. - Rumi
