God does not exist.

I wanted cons arguments not to suck... They do The argument from Quantity Maximal greatness isn't a quantity, its a property. The argument stinks like skunk to take out ontological, the most irrefutable argument EVER! The argument from Causation " You cannot make anything that does not exist do anything, let alone begin to exist;" God can. He can do anything, therefore your argument is null. Does God exist? I would say definitively yes, as it's a fact of nature. Such an inescapable fact. 1. The Ontological Argument 1. A being has maximal excellence in a given possible world W if and only if it is omnipotent, omniscient and wholly good in W; and A being has maximal greatness if it has maximal excellence in every possible world. 2. It is possible that there is a being that has maximal greatness. (Premise) 3. Therefore, possibly, it is necessarily true that an omniscient, omnipotent, and perfectly good being exists. 4. Therefore, (by axiom S5) it is necessarily true that an omniscient, omnipotent and perfectly good being exists. 5. Therefore, an omniscient, omnipotent and perfectly good being exists. 2. The Moral Argument Do you believe in objective morality? I.E. an objective morality would be that something such as rape is always wrong. If objective morality doesn't exist then show a case where rape is right. 1. If morality is objective and absolute, God must exist. 2. Morality is objective and absolute. 3. Therefore, God must exist. If morality is objective and absolute, 3. The Christological argument From carm.org/easter-story-true 3a. Jesus' Tomb was Empty (JET) In additon to the crucifixion, there are numerous reasons to believe that the tomb was indeed empty on that Easter morning. This evidence can be summarized by the acronym JET: J - Jerusalem Factor, E - Enemy Testimony, and T - Testimony of Women. First, the disciples preached the gospel in Jerusalem in the midst of opposition. It would have been virtually impossible for Christianity to survive and expand in Jerusalem if the body of Jesus was still in the tomb. All the opponents of Jesus would have had to do was produce the body of Jesus and squelch this Christian movement. Second, early enemies of Christianity never disputed that the tomb was empty. Instead, they argued that the disciples stole the body (Matt. 28:12-13; Justin Martyr, Trypho 108; Tertullian, De Spectaculis 30). Third, and perhaps the strongest evidence, the first witnesses to the empty tomb were women. Sadly, the testimony of women was not regarded highly in antiquity. The Jewish Talmud states, ""Any evidence which a woman [gives] is not valid (to offer), also they are not valid to offer. This is equivalent to saying that one who is Rabbinically accounted a robber is qualified to give the same evidence as a woman" (Talmud, Rosh Hashannah 1.8)." Furthermore, "Sooner let the words of the Law be burnt than delivered to women" (Talmud, Sotah 19a). However, in the Gospels, the apostles are the ones who are cowardly hiding from the Jews and the women bring them news of the empty tomb! If Christians were going to invent the empty tomb story, they most certainly would not have used women as the primary witnesses. 3b. The Transformation of the Disciples and the Emergence of the Christian Faith The early disciples of Jesus did not expect their great Messiah named Jesus to ever face crucifixion and rise from the dead. In line with the current Jewish thoughts of the day, the disciples's Messiah was to triumphantly defeat the Romans and deliver the kingdom of God to the nation of Israel (cf. Acts 1:6). It is clear that the disciples did not expect the crucifixion. It was indeed an embarrassment to their faith. Their chief leaders had abandoned the faith and become skeptics and doubters. Of all people, women were the first to bring them news of the resurrection! But, something happened to radically change these pitiful cowardly disciples from trembling doubters to bold proclaimers of this radical notion of a dying and rising Jewish Messiah in the midst of a hostile culture. These disciples were willing to die for their faith, and many of them would actually face death (all of the twelve apostles died by martyrdom except John). Radically, they changed their primary day of worship from Saturday to Sunday, they began to worship this man named Jesus while still claiming to be faithful Monotheistic Jews, something that was extremely radical and was blasphemous to the Judaism of the day. They did this all because something happened on that first Easter morning. Due to all of these factors, it is certainly reasonable to conclude with the former church persecutor, then turned Christian, the apostle Paul, "Death is swallowed up in victory. 55'O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?' 56The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; 57but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ," (1 Cor. 15:54-57).
