Think deep on this. I don't want to offend you but do you see the assumptions that are built in to this statement?No Ram. God doesn't exist to me because He's failed to prove otherwise.
1. God (if He exists) is a failure because He hasn't yet revealed Himself to AVG-JOE.
2. God is required to have revealed Himself to AVG-JOE by now.
If a believer "knows" then is he/she really a believer?
Technically speaking, none of us know anything other than we think, therefore we exist. Beyond that it all boils down to life experiences, data gathering, conclusions, assumptions, beliefs, and faith.
Paul said faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. I think one obvious conclusion we can draw from that statement is being "sure" and "certain" is not the equivalent of knowing for an absolute fact.
Prayers are only answered for those who have faith, and pray truthfully from the heart.Nope.
Well, on second thought. Maybe.
It proves the futility of the hacks at USMB who always try to "prove" to everyone else that "God" does not exist.
They are so hostile to religion, they imagine it is their duty to convince believers that they must "repent!"

AND, it proves just as much as praying (preying) does.
If I shake my fist at the sky and declare to God that I am impressed with neither his presence nor his proofs to date, and I challenge the aforementioned God to kill me now or forever be regarded and described by me as fictitious, does that prove anything?
All of the most wonderful attributes of God, from His hatred of racists to His love for His creation are obviously bullshit against the back-drop of reality.
Shouldn't that say SOMETHING about the probability of His existence at all?
How fucking convenient is that?
wrong you just believe they do.Prayers are only answered for those who have faith, and pray truthfully from the heart.Nope.

That, obviously, is NOT you.

Irrelevant.
You can't want and have free will and then validly and rationally complain about the fact that it might come with some associated costs and consequences.
Ah, but you didn't answer the question my friend. What constitutes proof? What would be evidence enough?1. Please explain as succinctly as possible what personal event you would require, in order to believe beyond any doubt, that a Creator exists.
2. Keep it as realistic as possible. In other words, demanding a million people assemble together with you and you all witness the same event, will be taken as "I don't want to believe, and nothing will convince me, period." Keep your demands personal. What would you have to experience personally?
Proof.
Hell, technically I wouldn't even need 'proof'. If I saw enough evidence that I could make a rational decision for God, I would in a minute
Nope.

Bullshit!
Free will all you want - I just want reasonable Civil Laws enforced that favor no religion so that everyone has incentive to be nice to each other, at least when they meet. If a relationship gets messy, then it's appropriate for the lawyers to sort it out, ass-u-me-ing assets in the relationship worth fighting over.
Civil Law, enforced violently if necessary, IS the associated costs and consequences.
Monkeys can NOT be relied upon to be nice to each other based on their varied belief sets, so society has two choices: Violently enforce one of the Religious Codes, or enforce a Civil Code around ALL of the religious codes.
The US Constitution is unique among Civil Documents. I'll bet $1.00 that 'Christian America' grows to hate it as more and more strangers claim it as their source for freedom.
Nope.

If you you guys weren't constantly doing batshit crazy stuff to please your imaginary sky man, we'd be less concerned.
I'm not so sure it's intolerance Joe. We've always been a country open to immigration, but foreigners flooding into our country, claiming our rights for themselves, and expecting the perks of our Constitution, without the naturalizing process is causing us all kinds of problems.
If you sneak into France, are you French?

What about the strangers within? The non-Christian Americans... The pervs, gays, weirdos, draft-dodgers and baby killers who were born here? How tolerant as THEY continue to stand on The Constitution, demanding equal protection under the law for THEIR lifestyles?
