Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

First, let me say that I appreciate your thoughtfulness and am proud to be your ally on this site.Also, I do agree that what you propose is indeed more logical and sensible than the more commonly seen depictions of God, and that I agree and/or emphasize with several of your statements. But there is one than I strongly disagree with. Your very last one:you will not find proof through tuition, but through intuition.I propose that you have this exactly backwards. What, really, is intuition? Well, it varies heavily from one usage to the next, but the general idea is that it is rooted in feeling as opposed to rationality. And feeling implies emotions. Now I'm not knocking emotions, they serve us and shape us. Fear can save lives, anger can give you the strength to overcome fear. Happiness can serve as beacon to move towards when the decision has no easy answers. But they can harm us too: fear can lead to not doing anything that involves risk, anger can lead to destruction, happiness can lead to complacency. And none of these things really lead to truth.But there are other intuitions, too. I myself always seem to just know when two people who have never been romantically involved want each other, even if one claims they don't have those feelings. I am rarely wrong about those things, and other people have noticed this too. But is it really a "gut feeling" that has no use for knowledge, or is it a subconscious manifestation of my other skills, such as my ability to read body language or my knowledge of sociology, or my keen observational skills? Just because I can't easily identify why I thought John and Sue loved each other even when Sue claimed otherwise, doesn't mean my brain wasn't running the math behind the scenes. But I have noticed I see these things more clearly when the girl involved isn't someone that I want to be with. The only times I have been wrong were times when I didn't want to admit that the Sue liked John more than she liked me. We are drawn to positive emotions and shy away from negative ones. Therefore intuition tends to lead us towards what we want to be true. Faith, a form of intuition, is notorious for this. This is why rationality, tuition as you say, is a better tool for discerning truth. As long as you respond to what you see and learn and ignore what you feel, you have a better chance of getting the big picture. And one of the first rules of rationality is that you need to have a good reason to believe what you believe. Not that you want to believe it, but that is can be shown and proven to people who may not have the same desires as yourself. Which is the gist of what I have been saying.

Until someone can explain how the chicken came first or where the egg is positioned, there is an order to the multi-verse. Big bang, M theory.. what came first...we are all star dust, created out of a super nova billions of years ago, thats provable but what contained the original bang or what houses the membranes. I side with consciousness, we are all god, hence from god and will return to god because we are all unique, yet completely the same!

What happens to your computer programs when you destroy your computer? The programs are the result of the processes of the computer. Consciousness is the result of the processes of the brain. The brain is essentially a biological computer. End the computer and you end it's processes.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

Yes God does exist. When you die you go to Heaven. It's simple logic! I mean where else do you go? We wouldn't be here if it weren't for God! Of course this is just my view, and you can feel absolutely free to choose your own religion and beliefs.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

You say others can feel free to choose their own religion and beliefs yet you claim that simple logic means you go to heaven and that God certainly exists. To respect others views you must only view this as a personal belief and not the absolute truth until proven other wise.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

Ok honestly srom I don't even disagree with you but you aren't debating you just keep spouting out scripture and ignoring any arguments people bring up, unless you decide to spout more scripture disguised as an argument. Either way this entire argument is pointless, virtually no headway has ever been made on it because whatever their belief on this topic, there is not enough evidence to overturn either side. I really wish people would stop making these...
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

This world is waaaay too beautiful to be created by anything other than a Divine Being. And only Someone with powers beyond our belief could design and create something as complex as the human body.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

Beauty is not inherent, you see things as beautiful because that is what you perceive them to be. Does the repulsiveness of maggots, cow feces, or vultures disprove God? So why would beauty prove him/it? It's a nonsense argument.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

Even so the evidence of God's existence is right in front of you. Nothing else could create life and the perfect place for It to live upon.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

In my opinion God lives in us, rather in every, who believes in him. Faith in God gives us the confident and strength.Each thing has its creator, each house has its own architect, each book has its own author, each person has their own parents: his father and mother. Please show me a thing, which itself was formed? Tha is why I think that Creator of our universe is God. And why the belief in God exist in human consciousness?
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

So a belief in causes lead you to believe in an ultimately uncaused cause? Does god have a parent?

In the Word of God the Bible it says in John 3:16 it says that God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son that who ever belives in him shall not die but have eternal life.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?

Preaching what you believe does not in any way persuade us for why we should accept it as true.

Yah it can change peoples lives and someone of the stuff in there are true
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

Yah it can change peoples livesAnd fiction is not capable of changing peoples' lives?
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

some of the stuff in there is trueI will agree that a place called Egypt did in fact exist, that this place was ruled by a pharaoh, that a man referred to as Chrestus had a small following of Jews, that there was a Roman empire and they did execute practitioners of non-roman religions. The rest is bullocks.There is no corroborating evidence that anyone was spoken to by a bush or a snake. There is no evidence that anyone rose from the dead. There is no evidence anyone walked on water or was born of a virgin birth. There is no evidence that the ancestors of all life co-existed on a single wooden boat. However there is strong evidence that people thousands of years ago liked to tell tall tales.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: let's us reason

It's more probable than not that a man named Jesus lived. My problem with him being more than a man is the fact that he did not know how to write. It seems to run in the family. We gods can create everything... but don't know how to write.It just seems unreasonable.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

Jesus also said I am the Way the Truth and the Light. Jesus is the only God and there is none like him. God already proved himself that He is really by coming down on this earth to die for our sins because we were all dead in sin. So He proved himself by dying on the cross for our sins and by raising from dead after 3 days. There you go He proved that God exists
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

Jesus is the only God and there is none like him.A statement of faith, not fact. That you believe something does not constitute evidence that it is true.God already proved himself that He is really by coming down on this earthWe don't know that he ever did this. You must trust that the written accounts of this are true. What most likely happened is a man claimed to be the incarnation of God. People make such claims all the time. You simply assume that in this case it is true.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?

Side: No

Perhaps it would be simplistic to point out that 'cavemen' fossils have been dated to hundreds of thousands of years old, while the story of Adam and Eve is supposed to have taken place around six thousand years ago. Let's seperate science from religion; a scientist would say that Adam and Eve never existed and the cave men really exist, and some theologians may say that the world is only 6000 years old, and therefore Adam and Eve were the first cave dwellers (although this conflicts with the biblical story of their son, Cain, building a great city in the land of Nod).
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

Uh huh. Of course he exists. There are over 42 Churches in my town alone. Don't see that many Bhuddists churches. ._.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

So your logic is: Because you live in an area where Christianity is the dominant religion, it must be right?So somebody who lives in country where Buddhism is the most common religion can say that Buddhism must be right because they don't see as many Christian churches as Buddhist temples?Or a person in Saudi Arabia, noting there are dozens of mosques but only 1 church in their community can say that obviously Islam is correct?None of these statements are very useful, because truth isn't a popularity contest.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

Uh huh. Of course he exists. There are over 42 Churches in my town alone. Don't see that many Bhuddists churches.Yes, it is a good thing you have internet in your town otherwise we would be forced to conclude that it doesn't exist.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

Still, I'm guessing that most of you are americans, so that doesn't mean you live in India. You see churches all the time. About 3/4ths of my town goes to church. How do I know that? Over 2000 people go to my church every day. And that's just 1/42 churches. My town population has only around 10,000 People.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

Which doesn't change what I said before:Truth is not a popularity contest. Once upon a time almost everybody thought the world was flat and that sun revolved around us. Turns out they were wrong.....
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?

Well, looks like you're gonna regret not believing in god in your After Life. Oh, and say "Hi" to Osama for me after you die, would you? Thanks. >_>
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

That's your best answer? To threaten me with something you know I don't believe in, instead of providing an actual response to my point. Besides, aren't Christians supposed to guide non-believers into the light? Not take joy in someone else's future suffering. And how does it make sense that failing to believe in something that refuses to provide incontrovertible evidence of itself earns Hell?
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

Believe in the Bible all you want. But don't for a minute think you know everything or that nothing else is possible other than what is written in scripture. Don't impose your beliefs on others.Answer questions when asked. But don't tell everyone they're going to hell. Jesus didn't walk around pointing at people, going "You're going to hell, you're going to hell, you're going to hell... you're cool... and you're going to hell". So why do a lot of Christians do that? What the hell to do they think can be gained by condemningother people? It's certainly not going to make me want to listen to your beliefs, let alone accept them. All it breeds is hatred and negativity. And if telling someone about hell gets them to convert, then they're converting for all the wrong reasons, and they are spiritually dead anyway.The heaven and hell concept breeds self-righteousness and arrogance (I'm going to heaven and you're not). It also leads to badgering and hurting other people (You're going to hell). Shouldn't following the path of Jesus and having faith change your life for the better now, on earth? Shouldn't it fill you with joy and love and acceptance so that you can be a good person? That should be reward enough in itself. Yet there areso many Christians who are hypocritical and treat others like dirt! But I guess it doesn't matter how horrible they are to people on earth, because they're saved and going to heaven. And then if you don't believe in Jesus (whether or not you're the most loving, self-sacrificing person on the planet) you're going to burn in hell for all eternity. What kind of cosmic justice is that? If God is going to rule his universe like that, thenI'd rather be an atheist (I'm not an atheist, but you get my point)
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

I agree with this >__<I'm friggin tired of Christian people actually doing the exact OPPOSITE of what Jesus said in the lords name.I really hope that other people realize that not all Christians are like this...
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

Well, looks like you're gonna regret not believing in god in your After Life. Oh, and say "Hi" to Osama for me after you die, would you? Thanks. >_>Unless of course you're wrong. But it's not possible that you could be wrong about this, yes?
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

This is the most idiotic argument I've ever heard. The existence of God cannot be true in one area and false in another. How many people believe in something has zero bearing on whether it is actually true or not.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

@imrigone There is a hell because people died and came back on this earth. There is a book called "A Divine Revelation of Hell" by Mary K. Baxter. She goes with Jesus to hell and explores it with him. He talks about what someother people did that was wrong like people who like darkness more than the light and served Satan more than Jesus and also there was servants of God or belivers and then they didnt believe in him and then they went to hell. Jesus also said in the book that she wrote "My Word is true" He also said repent of your sins and He will cleanse you even if the sin is really bad or a mistake. If you dont repent you will be in a place of suffering for eternity and there is no escape!
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

Srom1883, I will give you credit for your passion and tenacity. However I must take away some of that credit for your tendency to ignore my points and just move on to something else. I try to respond to your points, but you keep avoiding mine. That being said:There is a book called "A Divine Revelation of Hell" by Mary K. Baxter. She goes with Jesus to hell and explores it with him.There is a huge problem with "divine revelations" and personal testimony. A few problems, actually. One is, we can never know whether to trust someone when they are the only ones with access to that specific experience. They could be lying, they could be deluded, they could be misunderstanding what they are being exposed to, etc. That is why objective evidence is better. If I had an incredible experience that is unbelievable, it would go a lot farther to convincing people if I could show them, recreate the event, provide incontrovertible evidence, and so on; than if all I could do was tell them about it. Which leads us to the next problem: an omniscient being would understand this. And an omnipotent being could do something about it. Why not give a dream of heaven and hell, one that could not be refuted in any way, to every person on the planet, whether they had read the Bible or not? Why not have a one-way gate to hell, say in Death Valley, where every person could go in once in their lives and see it for themselves, know exactly what it would be like? You could have one for Heaven in the Himalayas too. These wouldn't have to be true passageways, mind you. Just a quick tour, and every one would get only one chance to see each destination, and continue on with life after. And people who didn't want to go wouldn't have to, but people who did would always find a way, no matter how poor or unhealthy they are. Doing it this way would simultaneously allow us to have free will AND have irrefutable, objective evidence. Why is God so intent on not letting us make a truly informed choice, if he is omnibenevloent and wants us to love him? He also said repent of your sins and He will cleanse you even if the sin is really bad or a mistake.And yet we are told that repenting doesn't just mean learning your lesson and striving to make up for it, trying to make the world a better place after. It also means casting aside your rational judgment and giving yourself to something that does not choose to reveal itself fully in ways that would convince anyone. That doesn't sound like something that an all-powerful/all-knowing/all-compassionate being would do. It does, however, sound like something that people who wanted power and control over nations of superstitious folk would come up with...

I don't like the bible, too much violence, twice as much as the Quran in fact. Care to explain why what I read in the Quran is any less credible then your ridiculous bible? And I mean an explanation outside of what you read in the bible. One source does not a valid argument make.

"You just got mad because i put that something from the Bible"No i got made because you have no evidence and only quote the Bible. "Its the Truth but no offense the Truth hurts and the Truth will set you free"It's as far away from the truth as can possibly be.

Side: No

"Bible is evidence that it says that God exists. Read the Bible sometime and you will see"Sorry I tend not to rely on fiction books as evidence. And I have one, however im willing to bet you have never read any book from another faith in its entirety. You are ignorant and biased and you have absolutely no evidence to support any of the bullshit you try to preach. The bible is not a viable piece of evidence.The Earth is not a couple thousand years old. The universe was not created for humanity. Mary was not a virgin. You are however, a dumbass.

Side: yes

Then why in my Bible does it say when the book is written. Just like when you read an autobiography it has a date on it on what the person did and when the book is written so when you read a autobiography you think its true. But you think the Bible is fiction when actually it isnt fiction there are a lot of things happened. We have a rainbow and the reason why we have a rainbow is because God promised Noah that he would never flood the whole earth again and he kept his promise so the Bible is not fiction. And if i were you i would watch what you are saying because you will regret those words you said against the Bible
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

"Then why in my Bible does it say when the book is written"What the hell does that mean? You should pay attention in English class, you appear to have a very weak grasp on correct sentence structure. " Just like when you read an autobiography it has a date on it on what the person did"So your saying that because it has a date on it, it must be true? Several fiction books have dates in them. In fact some use events in real life to advance a fictional story plot. The bible is a load of man made garbage. Whenever I go to a library or book store, I always remember to put the bible in its correct place: mythical fiction. " But you think the Bible is fiction when actually it isnt fiction there are a lot of things happened"If the story lacked any real events, then nobody would have frames of reference. Of course the bible has some events that happened, but most didn't. Like the story of jesus's birth, which was used by the greeks for a mythological tale way before the apparent birth of jesus. "We have a rainbow and the reason why we have a rainbow is because God promised Noah that he would never flood the whole earth again and he kept his promise so the Bible is not fiction. "Wow you are one idiotic individual. The world never flooded, if you like I will post a humorous video that goes over statistics that proof the story of the ark is false. And a rainbow is a reflection of light from water. You need to stop taking words from a fiction book as fact, your current method makes you look quite lacking in intelligence. "And if i were you i would watch what you are saying because you will regret those words you said against the Bible"I am not afraid of your fiction book and im certainly not afraid of your non existent god.

I am done with agruing with you this argument could last days. Therefore I am going to pray for to know God and accecpt him and realize that there is a God. If you do not want to believe in God its ok its your descision on what to believe in. But all i have to say to you is this im done with you and this debate this situation is now in Gods hands He will take care of you when you die. If you die and still think that there is no God then you are going to hell where a place of suffering is awaiting you. Enough said!
