The fact that NO RELIGION HAS ANY CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE of any of their God(s) is the sole reason there are so many religions. If any one of them had any conclusive evidence of any God(s) there would not be several different religions.
That can only happen when nobody can provide any serious evidence of any deities.

All that is required to end atheism is reliable, conclusive evidence of a deity which no religion and no person have ever provided.

...the very fact that there are multiple religions and countless sects
effectively demonstares the very low probability of the existence of
any god. If there were a god, there''d be no arguments. It would all
be clear. The world would be a much, much different place indeed.

"God" was fabricated by humans. In fact, you can bet the farm on it.

There is no lack of evidence for God if you're one of His chosen elect.

He makes Himself known to his elect, but not to the non-elect.

That is why you are experiencing a "lack of evidence for God".

"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold
by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief
and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of
the sheep. To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his
voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and
the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. A stranger they
will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know
the voice of strangers."

For this response, and all the other ones like it:

You don't get what I'm saying. It's way over your head.

And it's all part of you staying deluded.

Your idea of "evidence" is tangible and touchable.

My idea of "evidence" is abstract and conceptual.

They are opposites.

My claims do have evidence. You just can't perceive them.

In other words, you've got nothing.

By the way, John Calvin and Martin Luther believed the same
thing about Calvinism (or, Augustinianism as it was called
at the time) as H. L. Mencken believed. And then someone
explained it to them, and they saw how logical and rational
it truly was.

As with everything else spiritual, you just don't get it.

You're welcome.

Interesting argument, but I am not entirely convinced.

Consider atheist religions: those without gods. They do exist, quite
happily so. They, too, sprang from the fertile imagination of the human
mind.

Consider also the superstitious weeds springing up everywhere in the
Western world where formal religions are in retreat. It may appear
inchoate, confused and informal to us, but there are large numbers of
people who find some inner need satisfied by New Age beliefs, gaia
worship, astrology and other such claptrappery. These may have
co-existed with traditional churches for centuries, but unlike those
churches, they are not dying out. On the contrary, they are coming to
to the fore, becoming part of the accepted mainstream. No gods involved
here ....

Dunno about "serious threat", but what sprang to mind immediately were
Nancy Reagan and her astrologer....

As for such flimflammery being a threat, I do see this sort of stuff
infesting people's minds. It feels vaguely meaningful, it makes few
demands, but it does undermine rational thought processes. Every person
who decides to trust in the healing powers of crystals or obscure
Eastern medical practices (powdered tiger penis, anyone) to treat a
serious medical condition is a victim.

Moreover, I think that in the aggregate they do pose a danger of sorts
by planting doubts in the minds of large numbers of people, and a
willingness to seriously entertain the possibility that there may be
some validity to such claptrap. When people come up and say "my
neighbour used homeopathic remedies to treat his 'flu and it worked, so
I tried it and it worked for me" then we have a problem.

I should have clearer and said that I was only referring to theistic religions.
I know of no atheistic religionists who troll atheist NG's or wage wars to try and get their religious views taught in public schools or who have ever tried to kill non-believers.
Imagine the invective a member of the Ethical Culture Society would hurl at us!

Atheists are welcome, and we won't attempt to
make a deist out of up..." or something like that?

'out of up'? Up is an atheist and gets along very nicely with down who is a Deist.
You might, however, have a problem with sideways... And you can forget about angle.
That one doesn't get along with anyone. Right and left are wishy-washy. They worship

The fact that NO RELIGION HAS ANY CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE of any of their
God(s) is the sole reason there are so many religions. If any one of
them had any conclusive evidence of any God(s) there would not be
several different religions. That can only happen when nobody can
provide any serious evidence of any deities.
All that is required to end atheism is reliable, conclusive evidence
of a deity which no religion and no person have ever provided.
Interesting argument, but I am not entirely convinced.
Consider atheist religions: those without gods.
Et tu, Brute?

There's no such things as "atheist religions". There are, however,
philosophical, political or economics ideologies.

They do exist, quite
Post by Alex W.
happily so. They, too, sprang from the fertile imagination of the human
mind.
Consider also the superstitious weeds springing up everywhere in the
Western world where formal religions are in retreat. It may appear
inchoate, confused and informal to us, but there are large numbers of
people who find some inner need satisfied by New Age beliefs, gaia
worship, astrology and other such claptrappery. These may have
co-existed with traditional churches for centuries, but unlike those
churches, they are not dying out. On the contrary, they are coming to
to the fore, becoming part of the accepted mainstream. No gods involved
here ....
They are not religions, though. We have to define words precisely. If
not, then the discourse is muddled, and everything is everything.

It's like the word "hero" : nowadays, it signifies absolutely nothing
because everyone is a hero, if only for people just doing their job even
if they die doing it.

For me, a hero is someone who gives his life saving others, i.e., a hero
is a dead person.

So for me religions involve belief in some god, not just a philosophical
or a simple ideological stance.

As long as the eternal punishment is only something the theist 'knows'
is awaiting the non-believers, I really don't care. It does reveal a
disrespect and contempt for fellow humans, that I can't muster myself.
It's if the theists should get the idea, that it would be best for
everybody to keep the non-believer safely away until it's time, and
have the power to enforce it, that things would go from being somewhat
annoying to physically dangerous. Next step is often to expedite the
inevitable outcome.
Anybody who believes that the Creator of Everything is pleased with
his actions, has the potential to be 'weaponized'.

We do have evidence.

When you say "evidence", you think of something you can see, something
you can touch, something tangible, something empirical.

But when a Christian says "evidence", when speaking about God, he means
something he's been given by God so that he knows beyond a doubt that
God exists.

Evidence for a believer and evidence for a non-believer are two completely
and totally different things.

You make your mistake by trying to compare them.

Science doesn't have to debunk your hooey. You have to produce
credible evidence.

Secret knowledge imparted only to initiates isn't anything
that can convince anyone other than those in the cult.

I know, you don't care if we are convinced, if the Hairy Thunderer
wanted us to know, he'd have put us on the guest list.

That's horse hockey, and you know it.

You'd never put up with it if a Hindu or Muslim were peddling
that line of guff about their ghod or ghodz.

As one of your murdering religious nutjobs, Oliver
Cromwell, once wrote, " I beseech you, in the bowels
of Christ, think it possible you may be mistaken."
even if you are right about Yahooey's existence, you
might be wrong about the doctrine of election, or
wrong about being of the elect. My assumption is
that you are suffering a self-generated delusion,
possibly as the result of indoctrination in your sect
as a child. If you are an "adult convert" to your
reformed hooey, the "conversion experience" often
makes fanatics of many, including those who adopt
other variants of Christianity, or join other religions
you would consider false. They feel as justified as
you do. To one who stands outside of religious belief,
their commitment seems no more nor less real than yours.

The claims of any one such devotee, set against those of
adherents of rival faiths, do not convince.

Now, go read the FAQ rule against proselytizing again,
and stop pushing ghodz in your posts here.

I have no evidence for a god or for most of the NT and the OT they are both mostly fiction. The fact that the existence of Jesus can not be verified as fact is one bit of evidence. The nonexistence of Moses and the exodus are more bits of evidence, the nonhappening of a world wide flood is more evidence.
The only evidence from the bible is no evidence. Whatever could be tested has been and found to be false.

Well, since all of Satan's children enjoy the telling and hearing of lies,
it's as natural as breathing that you would like it.
Bob, I really feel sorry for people like you who put themselves into their
everyday hell full of "Satan's children" and other hauntings. Sick.

Of course you would. It's only natural for you to feel that way when I'm
telling you what you really are, a white-washed sepulcher.

"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold
by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief
and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of
the sheep. To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his
voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and
the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. A stranger they
will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know
the voice of strangers."
[John 10:1-5]

Bob never seems to have absorbed "Judge not, that ye be not judged."

I recommend him to Ephesians 5:

"6) Let no one deceive you with empty arguments, for because of these
things the wrath of God is coming upon the disobedient. 7) So do not
be associated with them."

I figure I'm one of those he shouldn't associate with. Hanging around
here is obviously on Mad Saul's "Don't Do That" list. Bunch of
alt.atheist reprobates....

That is a bad teaching; everybody judges everybody and that keeps us alive.

And why pretend that Christian's have good teachings when we know Christianity is bad.
It bugs me when atheists pretend Christianity is inherently good, that if Christians
would just follow the Bible then they would be good people. Those atheists seem
to want it both ways: the Bible is a Good Book and the Bible is bad.

Bob will never listen, no matter how many quotes you give him.

I agree: one must judge what is good in life and what is bad,
what is healthful and what is poisonous, what is supportive
of human freedom, and what is destructive of it.

I just wanted to point out that he, like most Christians, is
selective in what he chooses to to follow, in the way of biblical teaching.
The hypocrisy means that each Christian or sect is, by editing the
scriptures to their tastes, following their own lights or those of a
religious leader, not that of any eternal truth written down by their
ghod or those "inspired" by one.

Science can not make you accept that your beliefs
are wrong, you have to accept the facts. You can
lead a man to knowledge, but you can't make him
think.
If one is uninfluenced by biased elements...they can
then see clearly that our Universe, including the life
therein *is the result of* a Creation by an awesome
Creator.
What biased elements?
There is zero evidence for God or for a biblical creation.
I'm still betting the universe is eternal and always existed.
Science says no. Entropy is real.

SOMETHING had to exist to go bang. Since matter and energy can
not be destroyed, there will be some kind of a universe forever.
The creation of matter has to do with the fact that our
Creator possesses this element called omnipotence.

"Steady state" is nowhere as popular as "big bang," but it is a
possibility. I don't hold to it. But an initial "explosion" from
a pre-Big Bang "point" - if that term even means anything in a
pre-BB universe or multiverse - does not logically require an
intelligence behind it. that's just an assertion.

Again, "we don't know yet" is a perfectly good response, from
a scientific viewpoint, if that what the data supports.

Ghoddiddit is lazy thinking.

Don't you get tired of posting the same useless lecture over and over?
C'mon, Artie Joe. You go on "repeat mode" often enough.

This one was a reprint of an old number:

Message-ID: <29d917de-ff1a-4c8c-acdb-***@googlegroups.com>

[quote]

The only evidence a man needs to believe in god is that which satisfies him.

The fact that NO RELIGION HAS ANY CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE of any of their God(s) is the sole reason there are so many religions. If any one of them had any conclusive evidence of any God(s) there would not be several different religions.
That can only happen when nobody can provide any serious evidence of any deities.
All that is required to end atheism is reliable, conclusive evidence of a deity which no religion and no person have ever provided.

Yes, different people made up their own religions to try and instill a moral code. They all went about it different ways. Many however have so many similarities it's hard not assume they copied from each other.
The Noah story is a perfect example. The Bible story is a rip off of the Tale of Gilgamesh which was a rip off of an older story which borrowed from a still older story, yet is supposed to gospel.

None of the various theistic religions around the world have ever been able to demonstrate the existence of any god or gods. If they had any there would be no debate, unless it turned out that there actually are multiple Gods.

Perhaps you're trying to offend me, Arthur, but what if I were to instead
give you the exciting information that Jesus loves you? Would that make a
difference in your attitude? Because it's true, ya know. Although your
ancestors killed him, he still loves you.

You see, Jesus is your Messiah as foretold by the prophet Isaiah. Are you

Nobody has to "run from ghod." The legends, if true,
say he is omnipresent, so where would one run to?
In reality, the alleged being seems to have the quality
of "omni-absence."

materialized and provided help and guidance. Thus no one can agree on
how to define, praise or grovel to any god. Every religion and their

..wrong !! ...there are different religions because no god has ever
materialized and provided help and guidance. Thus no one can agree on
how to define, praise or grovel to any god. Every religion and their
associated sects has concocted their own variants. Every religion is
the one true religion. It's a fucking mess.
Hinduism began under the Hindu language
Judaism began under Hebrew

The fact that NO RELIGION HAS ANY CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE of any of their
God(s) is the sole reason there are so many religions. If any one of
them had any conclusive evidence of any God(s) there would not be
several different religions.
That can only happen when nobody can provide any serious evidence of any deities.

The King James Bible was written in old English, but it's still English.
Some people don't realize that because it's hard to understand at first.
But I've studied the Bible for a long time and I know it's English.

The translation was done by 47 scholars, all of whom were members of the Church of England.[9] In common with most other translations of the period, the New Testament was translated from Greek, the Old Testament from Hebrew and Aramaic, and the Apocrypha from Greek and Latin.

There is no such standard if you can't describe it. This is so open that it describes everything and nothing at all.

To say nothing of the many atheists who simply refuse to believe that NO evidence can prove the existence of God and so ANYTHING they see is simply a natural process.
