That's really not true... It's not like one day, some polytheistic dude was just sitting on a rock and goes "one god. That would be cool."u-borat said:Personally, I believe that 'God' is something somebody created a long time ago to give peace and order to the masses.

Thanks3unitz said:im agnostic to a god (in a philosophical sense), however i am atheist to Gods attributed with certain qualities and characteristics. if you can present evidence for a god, i will think god exists, and i might be open to further claims on His personality if you can present further evidence for them too. without evidence it remains fantasy for me.
im also aware of the possibility of god being "outside the scientific method", or above our logic and reason, but being human, im not about to abandon my sense for unsubstantiated claims on one of the thousands of gods circulating across our world's cultures and religions at the moment.
so if you asked me why i think god does not exist, i will say "i dont know what god is, i dont know if it exists or not". since you asked me why i dont think God (capitalised) exists, i have to ask what's your definition of god, and what evidence do you have?

You really are a stupid fuck. He could believe in God and still think you're a dumbarse.inasero said:Well it's sad to see it's come to this. I really wish you could see how awesome God is...
You're not a painKwayera said:Just to be a pain;
why do you think there should be a God?
Or, to turn it around, can you tell my why you think The Celestial Teapot/Allah/The Flying Spaghetti Monster does not exist? Take that reason, and apply it to your God.
As someone wise once said (can't remember who), "We're all atheist. I'm just atheist to one more God than you are."
well if you're gonna believe in this God you have to TRY to understand his characterkatie tully said:Pwar died inside just a little bit just then.
They did, he's called 'God'.invent a benevolent grandfatherly spaggetti monster who never gets cranky
Assumption that monotheism came from polytheism? Hoorah for general shitness right there...PwarYuex said:That's really not true... It's not like one day, some polytheistic dude was just sitting on a rock and goes "one god. That would be cool."

I've never had a problem with that passage. I think once you interpret it properly in context, it's a fair statement. (I'm of the belief that the Synoptic Gospels are fantastic.)*TRUE* said:Jesus says:
"Do not suppose that i came to bring peace to the Earth: I did not come to bring peace but a sword."
