Absolute knowledge is not required to prove God doesn't exist.

All claims of God's existence originate from the Bible, nowhere else. To prove or disprove God's existence, the only knowledge anyone needs is knowledge of the Bible.

If you read the Bible and conclude it is ripe with ancient myths, full of numerous contraditions, bizzare weirdness, written by men living in a tribal prescientific culture, and just plain not true, then it's rational to conlude God does not exist.

If you read the Bible and conclude it is the inerrant word of God… well then, credulity has gotten the better of you.

The fact of the matter is, atheists do not say absolutely there is NO GOD. They simply say that the literal translations of all 3 Abrahimic religions are inaccurate and it is very improbable that God exists. Quite the same as saying it is very probably that Santa doesn't exist, so I suppose sir, since no one is omniscient, we better start believing in EVERYTHING so we don't pose ANY universal negatives at all.

Ok, so I don't have absolute proof that Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, etc. exist. Does this mean I should believe in it simply because I am not absolutely, 100% positive they do not exist?

this covers a few points i bring up in discussions with others regarding religion.

religious beliefs have moved in phases throughout history. polytheism, then monotheism, and the more contemporary agnosticism and atheism. pay close attention to direction these have moved in as mankind discovers more and more about the universe in which it dwells.

i was a catholic for the first eighteen years of my life and never did i feel god's divine power. i prayed, i confessed and repented, i knelt before his alter and begged for his light to show me the way. silence is all i received from this so-called omni-benevolent being. god, if real, seems to prefer divine indifference over divine intervention. recall the numerous attempts throughout history to erase his 'chosen people' from existence.

believers certainly adore their sacred texts, no? are these texts really that difficult to conjure from one's imagination? what makes the book of genesis' version of creation any more special than tolkein's creation of arda from the silmarillion? both are fantastical and require large amounts of faith due to the lack of concrete science behind it all.

believe what you want, just think for yourself. that is all people should do.

think for yourself.

@Joey, funny how you make fun of other people's posts not making a point in a pointless post.

I have the answer....

It does not matter if you are a Christian or an Atheist. "Sin" is a moral and ethical debate. Though it may vary across cultures, there are certain things such as murder, theft, and torture which should never occur, regardless of belief.

Lest you possess masochistic tendencies, the golden rule should always be your guiding light.

Life your life, be a good person, and treat each person you meet as though it were his or her last day on Earth.
