  Proof of God

  i'm an atheist as i do not see any evidence for the existance of a god.

  i encourage critical thinking in everyone and am ready to debate anyone on whether or not there is a god and what that god might be like.

  Krauss is very explicit about what he means by 'nothing'. He does NOT mean two energies existed balancing each other at all.

  No energy, no time, no matter - NOTHING!

  Recovering - Nobody is denying his criminal record.

  I objected to the lie that he is a 'self-proclaimed racist and white supremacist'.

  Tommy Robinson is neither of those things.

  'he is a far right activist' - True

  'racist' - Lie

  'fascist' - Lie

  We are all entitled to our own opinions, but not facts

  Indeed.

  Energy, even its alter ego, matter, can not be destroyed or created, so it must be eternal

  That isn't true. The total amount of energy in the universe has been measured and the answer is zero.

  See 'A Universe From Nothing' by Lawrence Krauss.

  I am not an atheist because I can not prove a universal Neg. It would take faith to say you are an atheist - blownaway

  This objection comes up frequently.

  The question 'can you prove there is no god?' is utterly meaningless because the word god has an endless number of meanings as we have already seen in this thread.

  If somebody asked me whether I could prove beyond reasonable doubt that the god of Jesus does not exist I would not hesitate to say yes I can.

  What people usually mean is 'can you prove that something that I could put the god label on and which I refuse to define in advance does not exist?' then the only sensible reply is 'go away and think about your question'.

  Personally I don't believe in agnostics. They are just muddled about the question.

  Welcome to the forum MrDanastic.

  Are you an exJW? Almost everybody here were JWs, some are still connected to the cult through family ties. Many exJWs are now atheists, others still believe in a 'god' of some sort. A few are bible-believing fundamentalists. Personally I was a xtian for about a decade after I left the cult. I am now convinced there is no supernatural realm.

  We debate these topics frequently on this forum.

  I'm curious about your position. In a short sentence or two, what are your top two or three reasons for rejecting theism and what would it take to change your mind?

  The Forgery of an Antique God

  in the world of antiquities, especially that of bronze art, specifically heads, would you be surprised or alarmed to discover that experts estimate about half of all the art sold at auction and donated to museums around the world.... consists of forgeries?while you're digesting the news of corrupt practice, let me raise a rather vexatious collateral issue for your consideration:.

  auction houses keep silent about this fraud.in fact, it has been asserted by investigators specializing in such fraud, it is largely the auction houses submitting these works at auction under fake identities so they cannot be directly held liable for illicit transactions.

  proving they've knowingly done so is too problematic to pass muster.one expert who exposed such a fraud was sued by the auction house and forced toward financial settlement out of court under the libel laws.now why mention all the above in the first place?for one reason only, the same thing occurs in the religious transactions of jehovah's witnesses.the auction house (watchtower corporation) represents its salvific theology as authentic and transacts with potential converts so's they pay for such art (ful fraud) by giving their lives, honor, and sacred service in exchange.when flaws are found, instead of owning up to the illicit enterprise, they seek legal redress or prosecute the accuser through coercive threats of disfellowship.now here is another insidious parallel.

  Russell taught that all humans can be saved and that scientific progress is evidence that humans are heading toward paradise.

  He was a buffoon.

  Even some atheists now believe the earth will be made a paradise.

  Who are these simpletons?

  Do you deny that the earth can be a paradise in the future?

  Yes.

  It is this utopian fantasy that is singularly responsible for all of the harm done by the cult.

  Belief in 'paradise' - whatever that means - is what justifies all the sacrifice of education and careers. It divides the world into 'us v them'. It is what makes shunning and the destruction of family relationships acceptable

  You are either a troll or an idiot.

  JWs have promoted truths from the Bible: future paradise ... All these things are genuine truths - SBF

  A dystopian fantasy that has destroyed the lives of millions. You are a useful idiot.
