enjoy burning in hell then. hope you can find the time to define it there.

>>716219764
Anyone willing to subject others to literally eternal suffering wouldn't reasonably be called loving. This is of course assuming that you know the way god would decide who to punish, when in reality they could make arbitrary rules like "blacks only" in heaven

>>716220402
God still loves you, he just hates your sin.

>>716220402
Careful there anon, OP might actually think that blacks go to hell.

>>716219764
Prove he exists then. Just because it's written a book doesn't make it fact. You might as well believe in Superman.

None of them actually saw him. They only found an empty grave, no proof. Besides I could say I witnessed the birth of civilization. That doesn't mean I actually did. You still have no proof. I will agree that Jesus existed but no proof that god does.

>>716221565
Yes, they saw him die, then they saw him buried. And then they met him after he rose from the dead, and he would go to heaven.

How could he do this if he wasnt the son of God?

There were witnesses. This would stand up in court. Think about that before you say there isn't evidence.

>>716219119
i just dont believe there is metaphysical being that created us and watches over us. i like to believe that relegion exists as a way for people to be motived to being good people.

>>716221879
Still no proof. I witnessed Kennedy die and raise up and he said he was going to heaven. Just because someone says something happened doesn't make it true. The media said Hillary was going to win the election but guess what. it didn't happen LOL.

>>716222281
What garbage are you writing? This was witnessed happening by MANY people. It wasn't an opinion of what was likely to happen. It was something that actually happened.

>>716222096
False. The Bible states that God made humans, not aliens.

Why do all triggered cucks gotta diagnose people with opposing opinions friggin mental disorders or "there's something wrong or "you need help"

Jesus Christ find something new, why don't you go to the mall and yell at kids saying Santa isn't real

>I'm talking about atheistcucks

>>716222682
You're using circular reasoning dipshit. Again, your arguments are crap.

>>716222682
None of them actually saw him rise up from the dead. They go off what he said was going to happen. They found an empty grave with the stone removed. The story has been embellished over the years by drawings and different interpretations. SO who were the witnesses? can you name them? It's all hearsay.

>>716222937
What circular reasoning?

>>716222686
this thread contradicts that statement since the point of this thread is for religious people to bash on athiests

>>716223101
They also met him afterwards

>>716223158
You've assumed that the bible is true to reach the conclusion that the bible is true.

>>716223458
The Bible is a historical document, and it doesn't say anything about life on other planets.

>>716223279
Prove it

>>716222682
I'm not denying that Jesus existed just what happened afterword. Also no one has proved the existence of God. Jesus only said he was the son of God but no proof offered. Non of you have proved that god exists. Jesus isn't God.

>>716223571
It's a bunch of rubish. It's not in any way a historical document

Atheism is the belief in a universe with infinite possibilities, but not really

>>716223571
It's not a historical document. It's an old Book. Nothing more.

>>716223587
It says so in the Bible

>>716223599
Just look out the window, there is a whole world to prove the existance of God.

>>716223697
Yes it is. Do you believe in democracy? Many more people believe in God than in Atheism. Fastest growing religion.

>>716223998
It's clearly the word of God, no human could have written something this advanced.

>>716220615
The sin of not believing in him because there no real reason to believe in him aside from old stories that were written and modified centuries before you were even born. Believing in a god requires people put aside any kind of skeptical rational thinking and blindly believe. You might be ok with that, but I'm not.

>>716224127
The lack of proof is because humans were given free will by God.

>>716224027
I see a whole world of evolution. Scientists have already created the base of live. I guess that makes them God in a few billion years of it evolving.

>>716224341
How could anything stem from nothing? That just doesnt make any sense, but the Bible explains everything.

>>716224125
LOL It's a story book. people have been telling story's for thousands of years. Besides it is a combination of several different books that were selected to be added into the bible by the church.

>>716224027
You're still using shitty logic and circular reasoning

>>716224580
I don't think a story book could depict the creation of Earth so perfectly.

You just can't keep up with my arguments, go to bed kiddo.

>>716224736

>>716224757
They wrote it, but the words were from God.

>>716224703
LOL ya the creation of the earth so perfectly. He mad it in seven days there it is explained LOL.

>>716224784
I don't care to keep up with your stupidity

>>716224906
Totally human. No god involved

>>716224909
Seven days was just a way to make it understandable for the humans at the time. It really meant seven periods of time. I actually did the math, and if fits perfectly with how old the earth is, and when the first humans came to be.

We are out in the middle of nowhere, and you are told the truth is out there, you just need to look for it. There are a bewildering number of sign posts around you, each claiming to be the right way. You pick a direction, or more likely, have it picked for you, and start walking. You walk for miles, but there are no gods. Occasionally you meet people along the way who say you chose the right direction, although they never say how for you have to go. Now for many miles, the truth finally dawns on you, there are people in every direction who will tell you exactly the same thing; their path is the right on and you just have to keep walking. It now becomes clear that the task is impossible. You have a limited number of years in your life. You could spend them all moving in one futile direction. You could try in multiple futile directions. And obviously the length of time you spend of each journey is divided by the amount of directions you try. It is impossible to test any idea in any real depth, so requiring any depth of investigation sets an impossible condition. Whats being proposed is a game of pure chance. You could say my atheism is a refusal to play an impossible game

>>716225706
in your example the Atheist would just sit down to die. This is how depression eats at Atheists because they don't believe in anything.

>If you can't explain the big bang, then meh god wins by default
no. The only truthful is answer is "I don't know". Knowledge of the universe takes time and disciplined work, and wanting an answer for everything now is an impossibility. But saying if your science can't prove it, then my god win by default is folly. It must be substantiated like any other idea. Besides, saying a god speaks thing into creation is just a fancy way of saying "I don't know" it doesn't explain the process we are actually interested in. You might as well be saying god swims things into creation.

>>716226873
Isn't your life devoid of meaning when you don't believe in anything?

this is the greatest counter-troll of all time.

If I may: original posts made the best strawmen they possibly could(still do, and they're not very good), and asserted fallacies with some(small) amount of tact.

This pasta is taking the piss out of those posts, by (figuratively) reducing their arguments to abrusdity. All of their arguments into one blatant fallacy that can be resolved with a simple google.

Great troll, man. Great job.

>>716226981
If you can disprove that God made life I will hear your evidence, until then you need to be quiet. Science is built on evidence.

>>716226213
I don't put all of my marbles in the belief in an afterlife. I invest them into my own life, because it is precious, it is all we have. Happiness in this life will mean more to me and those like me because we understand that this is it, this is all we have. I love life. It is truly an authorless gift that we cannot squander,

>>716226993
I believe in trolling. it's mainstream now though and I'm too edgy to partake in it

>>716227312
Why would you risk your afterlife for a small period of defiance? The benefit of believing obviously outweighs the hassle if it should happen to be wrong. Whereas not believing doesn't give any great benefits.

>>716227197
Science is built on questioning the universe and what we know. It is about formulating applicable logic to our universe. I don't need to prove anything, we are the skeptics. You have proposed the idea of a god, without any evidence of your own. You have not met your inescapable burden of proof. If I saw there are werewolves below the surface of pluto that send me psychic messages at night, and I become taken aback that you do not believe me, it is not up to you to disprove it. I made the assertion that there are werewolves on pluto it is my job to prove it, as it is your job to prove god. This is how we record knowledge. If we didnt do that, encyclopedias would be full of unsubstantiated ideas. But that isn't how knowledge is recorded, is it?

>>716227534
Not true necessarily, we don't know our full potential and capabilities as a species. I must confess, I once reasoned exactly like yourself.

>>716228188

>>716227534
Would you send me 500usd on paypal if I said I was a magical wizard that will make it so that it would feel agonizing pain for you and you family for the rest of their natural lives? Of course not. The threat of an agonizing afterlife is just as empty to me. I will my life with compassion for others, and not because a god wants me to, but because I understand the good it can do, and how it can uplift the world around me. And yes, it does give me great benefit, I don't believe theres a judgemental asshole looking over my shoulder all the time, I don't need to waste my time and money that I don't believe in. And besides, how does it feel that there are billions of others who believe just as much as you in their own gods. Who's to say you're wrong? Because it makes you feel special? Anyone in any religion from the beginning of humanity would say the same of their own gods. You are the one who should be questioning.

>>716228751
Well, tough luck since I don't do that. I'm straight and doing fine.

that's called schizophrenia.

Many people experience such a thing is all religions. I used to feel a warmth when I though God was listening to my prayers. Who's to say that believing in a heavenly father regardless of religion just feels good. To believe that you're part of a great cosmic plan, and also part of the ingroup of the creator of the plan must feel great. That doesn't mean that belief can't be misplaced. So many feel that way.

Actually, the burden of proof, if it has an validity, rests on both sides. Proving a negative, in one form or another, is necessary in many instances of scientific methods. Disproving the non-existence of something (although seemingly impossible, in times of rigorous debate) is in fact, a responsibility of science.

>>716230964
There is one golden rule of debate. That when you assert the existence of something, you fulfill the burden of proof. It is not the job of the skeptic to prove the claim false. Imagine if a scientist held a press conference on his hypothesis, and complained how unfair it was that he should have to prove anything.
>But shouldn't the skeptic have some arguments for divine non-existence?
No. And we can imagine that debate. 'A' provides arguments for divine existence, 'B' however does not argue with divine nonexistence, instead what 'B' does do is debunk every one of 'A's arguments. Far from conceding the debate to the one who made the only arguments, 'B' has shown that 'A' has no case. And we do not then have any reason to take 'A's assertion seriously.
