Question to those who do or do not doubt Christianity

The answer is a choice. With the information at hand, one can chose any answer and it will be correct as long as one can explain the reasoning to satisfaction.

I ask you, "Is the existence of gods possible...or is it impossible for gods to exist?"

Oh dear!! Not again? How many times is that Frank? We've got it. You have no evidence blah blah blah on a continuous loop.

Your variations are like those of a speak your weight machine.

You are ready to argue anybody else's point without any from you except "I don't know." If you truly don't know, what are you arguing for?

If you define what you mean by the term 'god' or 'gods' and what you mean by the term 'exist' then I'll have a go at answering your question.

Have a go at it...do not have a go at it.

We all know the answer...and we all know who is willing to answer and who will not.

Here's my problem, for something to exist it has to: Start to exist and/or remain existent for some length of time. Give me an example of something that starts to exist and/or remains existent for some length of time?

Everything is preceded so there is no beginning; even common sense shows us that. Everything changes in every moment, science tells us that. If this is the case and existence is defined as something that starts and/or has duration then defined in that way nothing exists. But is everything therefore nonexistent? No, because it appears. Existence is a concept defined by language and made up or words. The words are all trapped within their dependence on other words and ultimately only refer to themselves never to reality itself. Ultimately existence and gods are just words made from sounds that relate to other sounds with arbitrary meanings. Are you getting my drift Frank?

God or gods need to be defined e.g. what is a god? For example if a god created everything then how was that accomplished. Logically it would have had to create by using itself or something other than itself, both, or neither. How could this be accomplished? Every question is pushed back to the creator of everything or everything being uncreated.

What always happens is if someone is brave enough to state their case clearly e.g. agnosticism; define what they mean by the terms they use then the result is that one or more readers are able to pull apart that case without too much trouble. If someone just repeats an ambiguous question over and over again then the 'wriggle room' allows for infinite... time wasting.

Spendius, since you have mentioned on several occasions that you do not like my posts, why do you read them? Why not just ignore them?

I'm beginning to worry about you Frank...I really am... never mind... just repeat yourself one more time... don't bother to elaborate... ignore everything everyone replies to you...

I answered your question and your reply was... to repeat your question... and ignore my answer... Frank... Frank...

You ask other people to deal with your nonsense, but fail to accept what everybody says to challenge your position. Pretty good game; you make up all the rules.

Why would you donate money to support it

An why would I not wish see a historic building?

I would not turn my nose up at visiting a temple to the god Zeus if I was visiting Greek for example and to me Zeus is just as real or unreal as a supernatural Jesus.

If the temple was being upkeep by a private firm I would also donate funds for it upkeep.

Sorry you can not hate an unreal being or that being temples no matter what your opinion might be of the harm that had been done and is being done by people who believe in this unreal creature.

Hopefully Christian churches and cathedrals will someday be view in the same light as temples to the old gods are now view.
