Ooh I'm so glad you can read everybody's mind. Please, share more of your clairvoyance with us? :D
well there isn't really anything to debate is there? the whole 'god' idea is a bit of a non-starter as far as evidence is concerned, it's just some people can couch their delusion in slightly more intellectual terms than your ordinary church goer

Genesis is just so badass though.
AND the earth was without form and void, and darkness moved upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of GOD moved upon the face of the waters
and GOD said let there be light: and there was light.

Obviously.

But the discussion at hand is whether God exists or not, I'd love to hear your point of view as to why you think God exists, without it becoming a "itz 2 personal u wudnt understand".

Really, I'd love to know why you think he exists, but presented in such ways that I can intensively research and discover for myself the ultimate "truth".


ie.(leave faith out of it)
Well i believe, I believe it because God has opened my eyes, but I dont think you will accept that, I dont know i just believe it.

I believe a Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe, etc. It opened my eyes with its Noodely Appendages. Can you accept that?

i meant accepting that as an answer there is no need for such a stupid form of sarcasm

There's a lot to debate with intelligent theists. =/ Just wish there were some around here...

But of course I agree with you, but that doesn't mean I agree with your assessment as to why people believe in god. Unlike your psychic self, I haven't really got enough data.

I'm being 100% serious. I just believe that there is a FSM. I know it and have faith in it. Why can't you accept that?

I can accept that as your beliefs if you believe that, but i doubt you do, even if you did you can hardly compare that to a God.

What makes his FSM any worse than yours though? What if his FSM is his God with the same traits that you attribute to your God?

Why not?

If I believe in the existence of the Almighty Vegemite Man, believe he is all powerful and all knowing, and adhere to the teachings of a text which I believe to be His word (it could be the TV guide, gee, anything will do), and I truly believe that my beliefs and only my beliefs are the correct way to get me to Lounge Land or whatever AVM's vision of "heaven" is, how is that so different to your God? Why should you not accept my beliefs?

Where exactly was my assessment as to why people believe in god?

And what could be more important than whether it's real or not?

yeah but the words FSM would be rarely associated with God.
IF he actually believes that then that is his decision.

I said if he genuinly believes that then i would accept that, not as my relation but his.

How did accepting religions even come in to the discussion, when i said accept that i clearly meant that as in accepting the question

The FSM is the FSM. How DARE you question him. Our faith in him is unwavering, as he tells us it is unwavering. You wouldn't understand as you were not touched by his noodly appendage.

Why are you so disgustingly closeminded?
I am not close minded. From the impression that i get from your posts is that all you do is hide behind science, not willing to explore the things that it can not explain.

Dont call me close minded.

If i am wrong please correct me

Okay, what does science not explain, and please explain how religion DOES explain it satisfactorily.
