Does God Exist?

You having a rough night, Momma?

I think 'your' theory was first coined by christian apologist Blaise Pascal.
The problem with 'pascals wager' is that it only really works if you apply it to all forms of worship that threaten a negative consequence for not believing.
Leaving one in the awkward position of trying to follow multiple religions simultaneously to avoid their respective punishments. As you might imagine, this would be problematic.

I believe in God. I have my reasons as to why. I wouldn't be here right now if there wasn't a God.
No, not true. You wouldn't be here if your parents never had sex. God had nothing to do with your birth or the birth of everybody that ever lived on this planet.

Sorry to disappoint you, but your "belief" has nothing to do with reality. Can you honestly tell me how many actually lived the life they were called upon to live?

"..if there is a God..." is the big 64,000 dollar question. Nothing other than the bible says so.

Do you mean to tell me that christians don't have disappointments? Wow, that's a new revelation for me! LOL

How many times did that thing they hoped for disappoint them though? I'm happy to say that God has never disappointed me.

Do you fear spending eternity in hell? Ofcoarse you do. You would not otherwise be so brain-washed with utter fear.

Good for you, but you need to learn about a) reality, b) logic, c) common sense, d) truth, e) science, and f) where you came from. !

You don't think that, I dunno, maybe it was you who did that?

Given all the choices we have to choose from for 'God', I wasn't quit sure which one you meant. I still think you're talking about El, but who knows? You might have found a personal diety. I tend to think the Amerindians were closer than anyone regarding divinity. From a pantheistic standpoint I think God probably exists, but it isn't the same one you're thinking of.

Oh, c'mon, now... take 'er easy there, gal.

JB sarcasm will get you nowhere with me.

JB was sarcastic? Not JB.

C.I.,

I wish you would stop mocking God like that. I really do.

Heph, numbers don't count (e.g., you said "I believe there's several million people that have said the same... "). Remember, millions thought the world was flat; their impressive consensus did not make it flat.

You don't know me very well. I don't do sarcasm.

You posted a thread titled, "Does God exist?" and then proceeded to post your 'theory' about the existance of your God. I find it highly arrogant to think that the undefined God of your theory would be the definition of 'God' to anyone else taking part of this discussion.

Believe it or not, hephzibah, there are numerous God's in the world. I'm much more interested in the concept of there being any God, than whether you have been taken by the real one.
