Intelligent Christians and Atheists, how can you rationalize the existence and non-existence of God? give me reasons.

The answer to any god's existence is unimportant.



I don't bother arguing about the existence or absence of any god because it is pointless. The only people who have a vested interest in the outcome of that debate are believers, because if they are wrong, their salvation is nonexistent. Atheists lose nothing either way.



I am certainly open to any tangible evidence. What evidence would convince you that your god does not exist? Can you see the conundrum?



If proof were proffered that convinced me a god exists, I would change absolutely nothing in my life or my behavior. The lesson is far more important to me than fighting over the dogma of whether Jesus was real or not.



If evidence were produced that convinced you that your god does not exist with certainty (evidence according to your standards of proof), what would you change in your life?



- Would you stop evangelizing?

- Would you start sinning more?

- Would you run amok?

- Would you stop helping those less fortunate than you?

- Would you feel that life is meaningless?

- Would you lose your Raison d'ĂȘtre?



If you answered yes to any of these, I would suggest you have no morals because of an inability to tell right from wrong or an inability to find meaning and purpose in your life.





SOMEONE WROTE: "Because for obvious reasons: He created the whole world, and the universe and everything that exists obviously. It doesn't take a lot of intelligence to see that.'



It obviously is not obvious.

Christians are most likely not right that is all just a lot of guessing atheists have a higher chance of being right rationally however it is hard to prove or disprove the existence of one or more deities because the question of how whatever answer you have came to be arises and there is no answer

Christians: The Bible says so.

Atheists: The Bible is written by men.

Christians: But the Bible is God's words.

Atheists: Who says it is the God's words.

Christians: The Bible says so.

Atheist: But men wrote the Bible not God.

Christians: The Bible is God's words.

Round 1 - Atheists: 1 Christians: 1



Atheists: Prove to me God exist.

Christians: I do not need to prove anything as it is said in Chapter blah...blah.



Christians: Prove to me God don't exist.

Atheists: You don't prove something don't exist; you have to prove something do exist.



Round 2 - Atheists: 2 Christians: 2



Blah...blah. I don''t think you want me to continue, do you?

You will get the drift.

A speaker as quickly as titled a lecture "whilst racism and genocide is great". His factor became that if evolution is authentic and there is not any God, then that's completely functional to handle different "lesser" races like animals, with the aid of fact they developed slower then us. additionally, if there is not any God, then how can or not that's incorrect for the main useful team to do even though it pleases in the call of survival? If those issues are incorrect, if there is a few unwritten regulation that transcends all humanity, then who wrote that regulation? the U. S. bill of rights, states that we've "inalienable" rights. we'd all agree that issues like homicide are incorrect, with the aid of fact we've an inalienable precise to stay. We have self belief that this precise is from a ability with larger authority than any government, yet whilst it is so, then via who's authority is this precise in accordance with? Did mankind rather arise with common regulations that govern them, yet are above them? We effectively have self belief many such things as this that pertain to common ethical subjects and then question the opportunity of a being who could make those standards. via our very own ethical standards and ideology, we advise the assumption of a preferrred being. If there is not any God, then ethical standards are silly and "although is, is sturdy" and we can justify rape, homicide, genocide, slavery, and assorted different evil acts. a international with out God might actually be Hell in the international. although, inspite of lots of people who stay like there is not any God, the international we are residing in logically factors to a ethical author who has imprinted His regulations in our experience of right and incorrect.

Any theist who "does good" so he can enter God's kingdom/heaven is morally wrong. One should do good because its is right to do so.



Any athiest who hurts others, cheats and lies because of a disbelief in God is morally wrong too. Boasting to have common sense and reason over theists, the athiest also uses a mask to do "bad".



Rationalising both, it's obvious if we want to economically and socially advance ourselves (as humans) we should help each other and do good. God or no God.

Nothing comes from nothing, nothing ever could. There had to be a uncreated, eternal first cause.



Looking at a car, how do you know someone made it? Because it shows complexity and design. Design requires a designer. Look now at your eye. It contains 130 million light sensitive cells, there is no camera lens in the world that comes remotely close to this kind of complexity. How many have the faith to believe that a camera lens just happened by chance?



It takes far less faith to believe in a designer than it does to believe that everything magically came from nothing.

Pretty much the same way I "rationalize" the non-existence of, say, leprechauns, fairies, dragons, and any and all other gods humans have dreamed up.
