Well it basically means that I can know god does not exist better than I know I live in Australia... I cannot truly accept that I do not live in Australia any better than an insane man who thinks he's santa claus can accept he is not, it is my reality as far as I understand it.

Well many things, but it was *TRUE*'s claim, not mine. I guess my reasons are something along these lines: If I were to really accept belief in a God, I would then most likely need to accept belief in any other supernatural entity and at the very least all knowledge I hold true (and I can't see...

Can you even tell me what you believe in then when you say "I believe in god" ? Obviously all definitions have their problems, but we can work the best we can with what we're given, as we do for any other question. Anyway the point of my questioning was just to show that... well, your god isn't...

well.. idk from your rough outline here your god doesn't seem much more plausible than the christian/muslim gods. One which actively designs/interferes/has a personality is always going to have huge problems in a world which ever-more is seeming to work fine without a god.

I've been through bad experiences too, who cares? I mean some people have been tortured to death while watching the same happen to their loved ones, maybe god should have looked after them instead of you with your (however serious, on a world-scale probably petty) problem.

Give me an outline of a God you think can exist.

The point being that the muslim and the christian god can't both exist...

Yeah but... like... we don't know how it happened yet... so we just don't know... there's no reason to believe one way or the other though we may want to investigate some avenues more seriously than others.

You don't understand what big bang theory explains... you're arguing against a strawman and probably don't even realise it. Big bang theory does NOT attempt to explain 'something from nothing'.

Big bang theory is not a theory of everything.

Yeah sure and well... I don't know where it's come from. It's possible that there's "something" that's always existed, this doesn't necessarily have to be a personal god though and I'm not going to commit to any hypothesis until we have more evidence...

Why can't this just be true of other things as well? There are millions of things which you dismiss which I could claim exist, can't be tested and demand faith. There is no way for you to properly differentiate. What? You think if you could... verify his existence you would not believe in him...

Let's say you're testing a drug to see whether it's poisonous... you do all the trials/tests you can think of and none of them find any sign of a poison. Is there evidence for no Poison?

There's no more 'faith' and 'belief' in atheism than there is in non-belief in... any other god / pixies etc.

Yeah sure thing... what makes the understanding of the bible a better way to understand god anyway though? You seem to be doing the old circular "I believe god because the bible tells me, I believe the bible because god tells me" sort of thing. What can't you understand? I don't believe in God...

I think this was my point with the whole anal thing... as long as people in this thread are going to continue to just speak out their rectums about what 'god' is I might as well just conceive my own equally likely scenarios for what he is, imo he made us to have anal with each other and that is...

Oh ok cool, so rape is equal to homosexuality? Good to know.
