Does the Christian God exist

I did not expect my opponent to start asking questions in the acceptance round. Though, I will answer these questions for the sake of proving my point that the Christian God does not exist. Questions: "When reflecting upon the existence and nature of God, in your personal time - do you question God { IN doing so are you, asking God to actually reply to you or demonstrate himself to you, thus Anointing you his Prophet" I have asked God to one time reply to me. He did not do anything to reply to me. I would understand that if God existed, than he would probably have bigger plans ahead, or is doing something else more significant. But, I now know that the Christian God does not exist. In that state of my life, I was talking to no-one. ------------------------- "During the conduct of asking God to prove to you his existence: Did you come tot he conclusion that You, "questioned him" because There are adulterers and criminals on the face of the planet, social injustice and disease" There are an abundant amount of reasons why I would question God. My opponent thinks that I have brought this reason down to one. No, I have a disbelief in the Christin God, because all of the other religions in the world. Just by examining empirical evidence, one can see that the religion an individual is born in is definitely going to be that individual's religion. My opponent could claim that there are converts, but a conversion to another religion is highly unlikely. There are adulterers and criminals on this planet. There is social injustice and disease on this planet. Since God is everywhere at once; he is watching all of this happen. Christians will usually claim that God is testing those criminals. I find this point very weak. I will explain in my case the empirical evidence behind free will not existing. I know that this test is rigged from the beginning, because our DNA and circumstances will ultimately make an individual who he is. ----------------------------------- " If so, than I can ask you if this was the full extent of your personal attempts to reach God [did you stop trying after complaining to God that there were sinners" I remember as a child not being able to connect with God. I would have to ask a counter question than. Are you capable of attempting to talk to God? If so, than what separates you, and the millions of atheists, Buddhists, and Hindus from not being able to communicate with God? Case: Which God is right-My opponent has already made it clear that he believes in the Christian God. One of the many reasons that made me become an atheist was the reality of there being too many religions. Each religion believes that there God is the right God, and this rule also applies to Christians who believe like many others believe that there God is the right God. I want to ask my opponent these six questions? What is the defining difference between the Christian God and other Gods? Did the Greeks go to hell for believing in the wrong God? Will middle easterners go to Hell for believing in the wrong God? Will Chinese people go to Hell for believing in the wrong God? Will the Japanese go to Hell for believing in the wrong God? Will I go to hell for believing in the wrong God? Do you accept the fact that an all loving God would 4 billion people in Hell for believing in a different God? Inconsistencies-In order for one to prove that there is still any relevance of the Bible in the modern world; one must have to cherry pick verses in order to do so. If my opponent is of the moderate Christian cherry pickers, than he must prove the validity of his actions. Creation Myth: Creation states if I am correct that the world was created in six days. Creation also states that the first humans were Adam and Eve. Creation also states that Adam and Eve had paradise until they ate the tree of knowledge(because knowledge is a bad thing in religions). These elements in a story are treated as fact in the Bible. This is inconsistent with the modern knowledge that we hold today. Scientists have proved that humans immerged through a process called Evolution. Here are the facts and evidence behind evolution: ---------------------------------- -Biological Evolution started 3.7 billion years ago. The world is in fact 3.7 billion years old. It is not 6 days old, or 6 thousand years old. -One can find evidence of Evolution through the fossil records. These fossil records can show many fascinating things which I will leave in the work cited part of this case. One example of a fossil records is fossils showing the ape's skull gradually changing into a human. This is a remarkable example of the validity of Evolution. ------------------------------------- The most important part to take away from this is that Creation does have any evidence. Evolution has more evidence than Creation. God would have known about this. If God existed, than he should have explained accurately how the world was created if he had the wrong answers. If my opponent does believe in evolution, than he has to explain why there are false verses in the Bible. He will have to explain the relevancy of any Bible verse if cherry picking is allowed. Noah's Ark: Noah's Ark is another inconsistency which I do not think I need to go to in depth on. Apparently, what the Bible says is that Noah's Ark held all Animals(Male and Female) He delivered them all safely where they would be able to reproduce. He also had to have polar bears on that ark too. My opponent will have to answer these questions. 1. How did Noah acquire all those animals? 2. Isn't it highly likely that those animals would have killed each other in a natural quest for food? 3. How did Noah built that ark in his time period? ------------------------------------------------------------------ Violent Verses: The Bible carries a lot of violent verses as well. One must have to look at these verses with a human perspective, and doubt the divinity and validity of the Bible: 1. 2 Kings 2:23-24 He [Elisha] went up from there to Bethel; and while he was going up on the way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, "Go away, baldhead! Go away, baldhead! " When he turned around and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two she-bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys. (NRSV) 2. Exodus 32:27-29 Then he said to them, "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor. ' "The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people died. Then Moses said, "You have been set apart to the LORD today, for you were against your own sons and brothers, and he has blessed you this day. "(NIV) 3. Chronicles 25:12 The sons of Judah also captured 10,000 alive and brought them to the top of the cliff and threw them down from the top of the cliff, so that they were all dashed to pieces. (NASB) 4. Judges 12:5-6 Then the Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. Whenever one of the fugitives of Ephraim said, "Let me go over," the men of Gilead would say to him, "Are you an Ephraimite? " When he said, "No" they said to him, "Then say Shibboleth" and he said, "Sibboleth," for he could not pronounce it right. Then they seized him and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. Forty-two thousand of the Ephraimites fell at that time. (NRSV) 5. Deuteronomy 2:32-34 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, unto battle at Jahaz. And Jehovah our God delivered him up before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people. And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones; we left none remaining. (ASV) 6. Hosea 13:16 Samaria shall bear her guilt, because she has rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword, their little ones shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open. (NRSV) 7. Timothy 2:12 A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. ------------------------ If my opponent uses the context argument, than he has to explain what context each verse is about. He will have to explain, and justify what these verses intend. -------------------- Intelligent Design Argument- My opponent will most certainly use this argument in the defense for God's existence. First, we can argue this from a deistic perspective. If God created the universe, than who created God. You would have to follow the same logic. Now, lets just say you win the deistic point of view, and prove that there can be an intelligent designer. What makes you so sure that the Intelligent designer is the Christian God? What makes you so sure that it is the Christian God that you would dismiss the many other religions that still exist? Concluding Statements: I believe I have proved that God indeed is inconsistent, irrational, and came from a time period that was barbaric to say the least. I am not trying to attack Christians, because many of them are good people. I am just simply pointing out the errors, inconsistencies, and overall lack of proof of God's existence.
