Debate: Are There Any Good Arguments For Gods Existence?
Side: No

Ok then you know God's Word,well. Wow, if He woke you up, and then put everything together before your eyes, that would be very interesting.The "dead knowledge" from Catholicism that I had before my personal experience with Jesus became alive as The Spirit took hold of all those facts and kind of adjusted the lense, and in a moments time I understood many things all at once differently.And if you read and didn't experience God, I have to ask why?Why? Well i think its because god doesnt exist and its just a book of ancient myths. I think that were expected to believe it and often taught as children to believe it. I once believed it. But knowing everything i know about reality, reading a book that contradicts all of that just wasnt persuasive. And i dont even know what "experiencing god" means. I mean how vague is that? What is it supposed to be? Do i see god? Feel a tingle in my feet? Hear him speak in my head? Does he pop out of my belly like a facehugger from Alien? I think christians use this purposefully vague language to make people more open to interpreting unrelated things as being "godly signs".For instance, if you said experiencing god is a distinct rash on the bottom of your feet. Well then 99% of people would never experience god because they wouldnt get such a rash. But when you leave "experiencing god" as open ended, people can fill that in to be anything. Maybe when im reading the bible a breeze rolls through the window and flips the pages to a psalm about wealth and im currently going through financial troubles. Maybe i interpret that as being a sign from god.Maybe when im reading the bible i get severely lightheaded and pass out. When i awake i assume that it was the holy spirit overpowering me. In reality all these are probably just coincidences totally unrelated to the book youre reading. But by leaving "experiencing god" as open ended people are free to attribute any little coincidence to works of god. It becomes confirmation bias.What weren't you willing to give Him?Belief without evidence. If i read the bible and god pops into my living room and gives me a highfive ill believe in god that instant. If i read the bible and get a heart palpitation, im not gonna just assume thats god and im gonna go see a doctor.Im not willing to read so far into things that i ignore logical reality. Im not willing to put aside all the knowledge i have about the world to believe in something even if i want it to be true.Or what where you looking for in Him, the motive of your heart?I was looking to see if he exists. And i didnt get any conclusive evidence from the bible.And if you did experience The Spirit, then what flood swept you away?I didnt experience the spirit.However i used to believe in god. i used to be protestant from when i was baptized until like age 16 or so. I fully believed in god, went to church, prayed, ect. I even prayed vehemently for forgiveness when i made fun of some girl at school one day. Because i thought i was going to hell and was terrified.But i realized my beliefs were unfounded. i realized i was believing in things for which there was no good reason. I realized it was silly to assume that out of 3000 religions i just happened to be lucky to be born into the one that was true. I realized just because an adult tells me something does not mean its true even if its my parents.
