Does God exist? (YmirGF 'perspective of a single person' vs 'Islam: World Major religion')

If I am the Satan that Mary23 says I am... do you really want to go there with me? Summia,
Yeah1 really i wish to debate you, because Mary think so. but i think you are not Satan...
lol......
yet Satan is in you....
If this Satan will leave you then you will be a pure and respectful person! Thats my words!
I have said it before and I will say it again. I LIKE YOU. You seem to be an intelligent person albeit a teensy overzealous but I am fairly used to that.
Thanx for honor!
I will even give you a handicap (which is a few free points at the start of an enterprise -- usually done in a game like golf) This is the "handicap": I agree to debate you and I promise I will remain on topic. You have my word on it.
That's nice!

You are welcome to use ANY and ALL references to prove the existence of God. I promise I will not cite ANY reference works whatsoever. My responses will be mine alone. SO, you have all the religions texts and scriptures of man to draw from and I have only the perceptions of a single person.
Its rather stupitness to match references with a single personal views!
Well, I'm on it!
you must pay more attention to detail. What started this whole charade is when I clearly stated that no one had ever proven the existence of God.

I have not seen God, Although none seen Him!
When we believe in God/His existence, then surly it means we have evidences in our common sense!
before start, I wish to ask just a little wonder in you Sir Paul (YmirGF)!

Do you believe in existence of God without proofs/evidences?

I doubt there is a believer(whether Christian, Muslim, Hindu, or whatever) that can convince an nontheist that there is a God. Most atheists I have known are very decent people and just want to live their lives. But unfortunately there are some atheists who not only not believe in God, but don't want anyone else to believe in Him either. The really strange thing is that they are so against anyone trying to "convert" them, yet they try to "convert" people not to believe in God. It is a double standard that really gets on my nerves. I have absolutely nothing against the atheists who want to understand religion even if they don't believe in it.

I have proof for myself that God exists, but not the kind of proof that would convince an atheist. I don't even try.

I agreed with you!
But still there are some people who believe that God exists but no one can prove that God has exists!
Thats one and only YmirGf here!

:p Yeah! I also say nothing for athiests, you are right!
but still YmirGF challenged me, he said,
Summia, you must pay more attention to detail. What started this whole charade is when I clearly stated that no one had ever proven the existence of God. At no time did I say that God does not exist. .

Hehe. Ok Summia, I am working in the garden at the moment so I can't stay, but I will emphatically state that there is no being such as Satan. Plain and simple. Can you provide indesputable proof, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Satan exists? And no, I do not believe in evil either.

I agree that the example that you give is bad, but I also agree that any religious person who is against being converted, but tries to convert other people to their religion, is bad too. It's a two-way street.

^ Trying to convert Christians back to atheism is as pointless as trying to convert an athiest to Christianity, they are both as ignorant as eachother in terms of the beliefs. To a point above stating that satan doesn't exist. I assume that person does not believe in a God either? My personal conception is that if a God provided a reward for good behaviour, he would provide punishment for bad behaviour, make sense? No one can prove God exists, its what they believe. Trying to argue one way or another just stupid, you just cant argue something that isnt a fact.

I think you aren't speaking for me!
I hav not attemted to urge someone but there is a personality "YmirGF" who claims that NO ONE HAS EVER PROVE THE GOD!
I asked him to discuss with me I can prove God because I believe in God!
Then he replied, "I also believe in GOD but no one has ever proved God!"

Its just not fell wonderful, that how can a person believeing in God with evidences and proofs!

O Yeah! he aslo said what all the scriptures told about God are fake!

Amazing ! And not only he claims but callenged me!
I'm also surprised, why need of challenge?:confused:

Does it make sense to come to blows with major religions and scriptures?

Kiddie!

I failed to see how "believing in God" have anything to do with "proving that God exists"..... *scratches head* :confused:

Believing that he exist is not proving it.....except within your own mind, but that's a matter of opinion, not evidence.

I don't think believing and proving are mutually inclusive.

Seriously, how many people who believe in god and yet can't prove that he (or she) "exist". Proof is not necessary; all that require is faith.

If you can prove that God exist, then can you please prove it, because I would like to know how you prove this? I would sincerely like to see the evidences.

However. If you are going to say Muhammad "says so" or because your holy scriptures "say so", then I am going to back to bed, Summia. :sleep:

O Yeah! he aslo said what all the scriptures told about God are fake!
They are not? :eek:

What is Belief?
If you believe some thing, what you need?
Don't scratch your head, just use it!

Believing that he exist is not proving it.....except within your own mind, but that's a matter of opinion, not evidence.
How ?
No evidence? :eek:
Blind belief !:cool:
I don't think believing and proving are mutually inclusive.
It is!
Why you believe some one when he say he loves you?
Because he proves to be loved you!
Why you believe in someone when he says he creates such a wonderful thing?
Because he proves that he created!
Seriously, how many people who believe in god and yet can't prove that he (or she) "exist". Proof is not necessary; all that require is faith.
What is faith? can you give the definition of faith?
If you can prove that God exist, then can you please prove it, because I would like to know how you prove this? I would sincerely like to see the evidences.
:D If you ask me to show God then I can't!

However. If you are going to say Muhammad "says so" or because your holy scriptures "say so", then I am going to back to bed, Summia. :sleep:
I think thats better for you!

They are not? :eek:
:no: They are not!

Believing is one thing, proving is another. Science can disprove religion, but billions still believe. Why prove God when you cant which makes believeing pointless under your logic. Some people just dont want to know and are happy the way they are.

I asked a question to YmirGF/Paul: And I ask same question to you Gnostic:
Summia, this might shake you a tiny bit, but I followed the Vaisnava school of thought for about 7 years. You know, those crazy wierdo's who chant Hare Krsna and jump up and down... Well, what you probably do not know is one key thing they believe is that if the devotee is pure enough and has deep enough spiritual vision or sight one can gain an audience with diety itself. In effect one can meet God. I completely understand that this is impossible from your standpoint, but frankly in the Light of my own experience your disbelief is somewhat meaningless to me.

Summia when I was 21 years old I have several stunning visions, the others are not your concern but one was an 8 hour "meeting" with the Hindu God known as Lord Vishnu. Quite honestly you could have knocked me over with a feather, hehe. It was really more incredible than ANYTHING you can personally imagine and the reason I say that is frankly there is no possibility that I was imagining it nor could I possibly have imagined such an astounding thing. The amusing thing is that he never did say a word. Not a single word... but my mind was constantly flooded by an unfathomable feeling of love and warmth. It did not occur to me to say a single word to him. It is far too incredible as one is quite speechless. The neato thing is that you don't need words to communicate... much like two lovers only need to glance at each other to pass volumes of information between them.

No doubt you will denigrate what I have PERSONALLY seen. No doubt you will say that somehow this is NOT god. No doubt you will go on at length about an experience that sparked every particle of my being is somehow an illusion... because it is beyond you limited understanding. But give it your best shot, hon. You and other Muslims tell me that no one has seen or can see god directly and my only response to be truthful is, "Pity... only in Islam you say?"

And I dear Summia, stand by my point. No one, absolutely no one, to date has ever proven the existence of "god" regardless of the religion involved. Hence we are "stuck with" what is called "faith".

I asked him to discuss with me I can prove God because I believe in God!
That is a rather bold statement Summia. So you are again saying that you above all other mortals can prove the existence of God?
Then he replied, "I also believe in GOD but no one has ever proved God!"
I am slightly confused why anyone would need an explanation. My personal experiences proved themselves before my inner eyes. This experience is well beyond what some would term "Cosmic Consciousness" or "Samadhi" or "Moksha". I simply call it Framework 2 with the perception of physical reality being Framework 1. The kicker is that this state of awareness acts as a springboard to "meeting" entities from what we could logically call Framework 3. Suffice to say that in order to stay in Framework 3 one has to have a full working knowledge of Framework 1 and 2. Ditto for Framework 4 and beyond. These are arbitrary designations between "levels" of awareness as there are not really "levels" as in say a step ladder. Try to imagine a theoretical stepladder that allowed you to step up and go right or left, frontwards or backwards just as easily as you could just head "up". In essence, Reality is a melange of psychological gestalts, most of which have their basis in Being AS energy rather than how things are in our tiny world of flesh and bone.

Religious people might interpret traversing these "inner realms" as done via the Holy Spirit. I don't look at it that way. The easiest way to understand it is that these adventures are done via out-of-body experiences wherein one resolves reality without the confusion of the physical senses.

...how can a person believeing in God with(out) evidences and proofs!
But, my dear Summia, I didn't claim otherwise now did I. You really must pay more attention to the details of what I am trying to tell you. I have my evidence, first hand evidence at that and I require no further proofs. Most certainly not the timid, palid writings of man or his alleged "God". There is no scripture ANYWHERE that describes things the way I see reality. Imho, most views, from the oldest to the newest are practically the babble of small children who have little understanding of the topics they are discussing. My main point is Summia, I didn't need your books, the Jews books, the Christian's Books or any other books. I got my information from the Source.

Tell me, are you not commanded to have no intercessors? If that is true then why do you rely on the words of others? Riddle me that? The words of others act as intercessors in your mind and give you a preconceived ideal that you have simply accepted as Reality. Unfortunately that does not make those ideals REAL. It does however colour or tinge your reality to the measure of your belief. Here I am meaning it is like you are wearing thick glasses through which you cannot accurately discern reality because the glasses themselves have not been tailored to you (or anyone) who wears them but are more like "one size fits all" "off-the-shelf" solutions.

I am sorry to stress this point, but the stories you (and others) have read is not the "whole story" by any measure. The stories themselves are crafted in such a way that they will have a largest impact on a broad range of mentalities. They are also crafted to bind the masses in a particular mindset... as if in a common bond. However, since it comes from outside yourself the message automatically loses its meaning. In this case, external information (books and the words of others) overshadows internal information that flows through the individual relentlessly. At no moment is information NOT available to the individual, if they BELIEVE that it is within their grasp. You (and other religious types) might call this "revelation" but I would rather just call it what it is and that is "realization".

O Yeah! he aslo said what all the scriptures told about God are fake!
I don't believe I ever said they were fake but rather that true "divine inspiration" is sadly wanting. If the works of man were truly "divinely inspired" they would make a great deal more sense than they do.

Amazing ! And not only (does) he claim (these things) but (he) c(h)allenges me (to a debate!)
You may well consider my words to be blasphemy and yet knowing what is in YOUR TERMS "god" as I do, I understand that true blasphemy does not exists and that most religious people have simply been misled.

I also challenged you to a debate for a couple of reasons.
1. I know you cannot factually substantiate your claims.
2. I thought it might be helpful for you to converse with someone adept at English, in English. It is a small mercy, but heck, I have a million of 'em.
3. We both might learn something important from the other... although I admit I am at a loss as to what you could possibly tell me about the nature of God that I am as of yet unaware.
4. Our discussion might just show you that so-called infidels or kaffirs are not blind to what you would call "god". I am proud to call myself an infidel as it is beyond my imagination that I would ever in my wildest dreams adopt Islam as my so-called "faith". The reason being is that when you can already see something you do not have to have "faith" that it is in fact "There". You simply see what is in front of your "eyes"... and faith becomes meaningless.
5. At the end of the day, folks who stroll through this thread might find our interaction compelling and thought provoking.

I am sure there are a few more reasons but that is just off the top of my head.

I'm also surprised, why need of challenge?:confused:
Simply because I claim to have seen "god" already and I tell you I cannot prove IT exists. You are not likely to have seen personally what I have and yet you claim to be able to prove your points. Know that I am "locked and loaded" as it were and ready for anything you might feel a need to say. This should prove to be very entertaining, at least for a few days.

Does it make sense to come to blows with major religions and scriptures?
"Come to blows"? :flirt: Mon petite cheri I am not fighting against religion, I am fighting FOR understanding. Religion is excellent for breeding fear and false preconceptions but not terribly useful beyond a tool for quelling the masses into subservience.

Yeah! I totaly disbelief and for this I don't wish to know what is meaningfull for you!
Lol.........
YOU are important for YOURSELF only sir!
YOU know when a person used the word "I" while putting the aurguments, it is meaningless in fact! don't practice it in outer world, frankly, don't. espacially in preaching! Trust me!:p
Summia when I was 21 years old I have several stunning visions, the others are not your concern but one was an 8 hour "meeting" with the Hindu God known as Lord Vishnu.Quite honestly you could have knocked me over with a feather, hehe.

The neato thing is that you don't need words to communicate... much like two lovers only need to glance at each other to pass volumes of information between them.

So you believe that God can be proven by transfering volumes of Informations?
So what volumes of informations you have, that God has transfered you?

one piont more, if you believe that info can be transfered by mind to mind then why you blows about Muhmmad pbuh is false. May be he could done such thing!
Hmmm!

No doubt you will denigrate what I have PERSONALLY seen.
No I'm not . I have met very serious cases in facts!
They even believe that they are God himself. As Pharaoh did. but lost! he lost his world.

No doubt you will say that somehow this is NOT god. No doubt you will go on at length about an experience that sparked every particle of my being is somehow an illusion... because it is beyond you limited understanding. But give it your best shot, hon. You and other Muslims tell me that no one has seen or can see god directly and my only response to be truthful is, "Pity... only in Islam you say?"

So, thats your bitter try to prove Islam as false religion.
I suggest you to read the scriptures of all religion. Those claims that "no one has seen God by naked eye!"

How can you say only in Islam?

If someone has seen God then why it is not recorded in authentic records?
one can easly fool others!
So what is the garenty that i should trust you?

Look! Muhammad pbuh, claimed to be the prophet of God and lo! a majority has a faith in him, should I not believe in that person! he was in fact more trust able then you. Why should only believe you?

Plzzz at least say in clear words!

why you given those aruguments?

All scriptures proves God!

The Sky and the Earth
The Moon and the Sun
Have ever any one able to creat nature?

There is He (God) Whom we ask for help!

all around you and and all human beings are the evidences that God created all ! all are the evidences of His existence!

What kind of proof you wishes me? Physically? lol......

: hamster :"Release the hounds!!!"

You are losing respect in one's heart sir!
Don't behave like so!
Take care of your age!
