Methinks Name_Taken is a perfect example of the main problem of believers with their non believing counterparts.

Please reply to my posts, or do you choose not to because you simply cannot find a way to refute them?

Oh and Jetblack is presenting a clear argument that i couldn't have worded any better. Read it :)
I have read his, and I don't buy it, in much the same way as you (probably) don't buy mine.

Can I inquire what this problem is?

There is nothing wrong with disagreement. It is possible to disagree and believe in your cause, without conflict arising.

Eww agnostics.

Do you doubt that the sun will rise?

Agnosticism is ludicrous to an extent that they cast a shadow over their reasons to doubt theism in the first place.
I think you are misinformed as to what Agnosticism actually is. Agnostics will take on a belief whether it be a god does exist or a god does not exist if evidence and facts can prove the former or the latter.

Considering there can be no "proving" that God either exists or doesn't (in the manner that you demand), then it doesn't look like they will be doing much.

At this point in time, no. But I'm sure that in the future science and philosophy will provide some evidence or facts to 'prove' that there isn't a physical or metaphysical mystical sky god.
Its only a matter of time.

I shall not post in this thread anymore either.

The same subject is visited three times a day...

Every argument I make is greeted with the same generic responce. It seems logic has been abandoned.

Bye.

Rofl your misplaced faith in the blunt instrument that is science to disprove something which it cannot by its very nature, is as irrational as you claim my faith in said something's existence is in the first place.

What evidence would you except in order to denounce your 'faith'?

Just because you can't prove something isn't real doesn't necessarily mean it IS real, jeez.

I'd say they're being far more rational than you.

Um... because I havn't gotten around to reading all of it. I have read the majority of it.

And I never said that believers didn't have to read it and that non-believers did. Stop twisting my posts lol.

Reading the Bible isn't a requirement of faith, but thats doesn't mean you shouldn't do it...
Lol, what?

Haven't got around to it?

You just believe it's the word of God and all, but haven't got around to it?


Have no respect for you now, have read the Bible several times, including when I still had faith.

I know perfectly well what Agnosticism defines as.


However, i know that the majority of Agnostics and Atheists have very small attention spans, and are endulged in arrogance.

Thus, i provide you with a colorful picture to explain it to YOU.

HARHAR.

Well to me, evidence would imply that it is proved objectively.

Not shown that it is more likely, or beyond reasonable doubt, but conclusively.

That I imagine, is the standard of proof athiests would claim they would require if they were to start believing in God.

That would be a matter of opinion.

Lol, what a smart, reaonsable person you are. I've read like 95% of the Bible, though, I'm not going to pretend I have like read every single word or phrase when I know I havn't

I am.

How can you claim to follow the word of God when you haven't written what little he has provided?

Agnosticism is more not caring if something exists or not because one has no proof of it.
