There is no Proof that God Exists

Guy Threepwood

Before you start raining hellfire and brimstone, there is no proof against God either. Confused about where this is going? Let me explain.

Before we go any further, let me make something clear:

Belief/faith =/= to know

A lot of people believe they're interchangeable, when in reality they are not.








Christianity is a Faith based religion. You Choose to Believe that God exists and obtain Salvation. Faith means you Choose to believe in God without proof. If irrefutable proof (the kind that makes nearly everyone agree about it) ever arose for or against God's existence, two big things would happen:
1) Faith would become knowledge, rendering salvation null and void.

2) When you have Knowledge of God, you no longer have a choice to believe. It's a worship or risk ******* him off scenario (you know he exists, thus are expected to Worship). With the inverse: God doesn't exist so any worship is pointless.

If God does exist ( I personally believe he does), he's not going to give proof of his existence until He decides to begin the Rapture and Tribulation, and proof against his existence will never come.

If he doesn't exist, then proof for his existence will never come and proof against it may or may not pop up eventually.

In the end, no proof of his existence/nonexistence is currently available, hopefully this will end all arguments (knowing my luck it will start a whole new one).

Why does everyone take religion so seriously? Believe if you want and if you don't want to then more power to your elbow. It's really that simple.

It is clear why God would not want to be proven, belief, faith, love cannot be forced. And creation is for us to benefit from, appreciate, there is no better way to do that, than to explore, discover, learn for ourselves. The fact that nature continually tests our curiosity and ingenuity to it's limits with endless challenges that are 'almost' impossible... is in perfect keeping with this.

But for a pointless fluke to achieve all the above, would have to be chalked up to yet one more staggering coincidence.

Yet all the proof for evolution is ignored by creationists...
So it seems creationists are living proof you are wrong.

Wow.
STILL beating on that strawman....
