The Christian God exists (2)

The pastaman? I don't understand. Thanks? Maybe? I don't know what's going on here!I'll just start my rebuttal.REBUTTAL1) Why would god choose to hide himself like this? Wouldn't it be easier for him to give solid physical evidence of himself? Then there would be no atheists like me. You have yet to show me this logic and understanding.2) No, I think that this book can't be the word of god because the morality in the book is from what ancient civilizations considered moral. If god was this objective moral giver and the truth and knew everything, wouldn't his morals condemn slavery and discrimination? If god were to intervene with humanity to set them on the right path, wouldn't he say that being gay is okay, just so that people didn't get the wrong idea when he says that being gay is not okay and start to stone homosexuals? I don't believe I am perfect. The context behind Leviticus, if I understand it correctly, is that God is giving these rules to Aaron, his descendants, and the sons of Israel through Moses. I won't put any quotes or citations because you've asked me not to, but if I am wrong please explain to me where I've gone astray in my interpretation.3) No, there can be more. It is as I described. However I don't really feel this is critical to the argument, so I'll drop that point for now. I did not at any point call you or insinuate that you are a radical theist, and you can call yourself whatever you'd like.4) Ok, we agree.Hypo: If I were to accept god in this life and be guarenteed to a life with infinite knowledge later, yes, I would take that deal. 5) Ok, first the straw man thing. If I am misrepresenting your position when I say that everyone is agnostic/atheist towards the flying spaghetti monster, then does that mean you believe in his noodly appendages? All jokes aside, I believe that mathematics, logic, physics, etc. are absolutes in the physical universe.6) I said many theists, not specifically you. Not a straw man. I in fact even explain how I am not straw manning you. I assume he is fictional because I've already done this whole "devote your life to Jesus" thing when I was a young boy, and I truly believed that god existed. However, nobody has given me any valid evidence that shows me he exists, so I assume he is fictional. You need to start searching your mind or Harry will never accept you. If you don't open your heart to his noodly appendages, they cannot grace you. It does have to do with the popularity of the belief as you said, " If we are all conceiving of the same thing or entity, it must therefore necessarily exist. Are we ALL delusional. No." That is an argument from popularity.7) I'm not denying logic. God is an unfalsefiable hypothesis because nobody can know how this universe was created. It could have been god, it could have been the big bang, it could have been the flying spaghetti monster for all we know. 8) I extend my Harry Potter example and would like to say that many people, such as Sagey (http://www.debate.org...) have studied theology for many years and "thought about it" for years and arrived at the same conclusion as I.9) How many atheists were slaughtered for simply looking at the world and saying "there is no god"? They didn't lay down their lives for nothing. They laid down their lives for what they believed, just as the Christians did. THis, however, does not make their beliefs any more valid. Hitler died for what he believed, so does that make him and all the other Nazis who died for these beliefs right? I don't know how this lie was made up, but it was passed along as truth and eventually got to people's heads. I'd doubt his existence. I think if you do some research you'll find that there are no references to Jesus until decades after his supposed death and resurrection. Don't you think there would be some people writing about this guy going around healing the sick, raising the dead, etc.? You have the BoP. 10) Good for you. Most people are born into religious families and really are brainwashed into their family's religion. I also give other reasons why someone would go into a religion. Who am I parroting? I have given reasons why people believe. You seem to have logically worked out that god is real somehow, though, based on what you've said earlier. Call that a straw man if you'd like. Okay, no bible then. At least for this round. Thanks for your arguments, sorry I was a bit late with mine.
