Fifty simple proofs that god is imaginary.

First: nobody knows for sure. There is no proof for or against one or more gods. Anyone who claims otherwise has an agenda.

Second: it does not matter. People want, need and even crave spirituality. It's a deep personal human thing and to just brush that aside with clever little logic games only hurts and does not help.

In an ideal world people believe in any gods they want without rejecting science.
Only thing round in FE is its circular logic.

None of these are proof for anything. Some of these are based on complete misunderstandings of Christianity. The subject of the existence or non existence of God is reaaally old and played out, and it's pretty pointless to talk about unless you have something really fresh and interesting to offer, which is unlikely.

There is only one logical argument that disproves God. It is the constitutional argument.

1. All things are  born equal, meaning there are no higher and lower things.

2. God is supposed to be the highest thing.

3. There is no highest thing according to premise 1. Therefore God does not exist.

The fairy in my garden taught me that.

It is has been calculated that since the dawn of time there have been just over 4000 various religions all with their own gods and beliefs..... so take your pick.  Some say both gods and religions are no more than human constructs, take away the humans and god no longer ‘exists’......

Nobody knows for sure, but I know with a great degree of certainty that there is almost-definitely no god.

Second: it does not matter. People want, need and even crave spirituality. It's a deep personal human thing and to just brush that aside with clever little logic games only hurts and does not help.

It does matter. Religion is demonstrably dangerous and poisonous, and it has caused humanity a great deal of grief. People may have their favorite toy, so-to-speak; they will cling to their gods and superstitions. It rarely is just a "deep personal human thing" now, is it?

I would argue that, in the short term, brushing aside belief with logic and rationality does hurt; but in the long run, it is necessary and, ultimately, helpful.

In an ideal world people believe in any gods they want without rejecting science.

A belief in god is more or less a clear rejection of several scientific principles. Can we see, hear, or feel god? Can we perform experiments proving or disproving god? Can we verify and measure the degree of god's presence, power, or interaction with the world? Can we verify the legitimacy and function of prayer? I could go on and on.

Holy shit, a non shit post from pez this morning? I almost spit out my imaginary coffee!

I adore this website.

That website and it's "proofs" are just one giant shit post with incoherent nonsense that as no application or provide any sort of "proof" to it's intended subject. Sites by looney religious nut jobs advocating serpent handling provides more factual statements than this site.

For some reason I visualize this athiest red in the face with white knuckles making the site.

Oh I just realised, I said scientists suck, which, they don't lol. What I meant was proponents of philosophical scientism, not people who do science, hell, I'm a people who do science lol.
