What’s your opinion O atheist on the Existence of God ? Evidence 17?

[Sam]

Gibberish, nonsensical hoopla, the lot of it.

No one uses "O" anymore except fakes and time traveling Doctors.

You must first train your brain to recognize fact from opinion, speculation from evidence. You must then formulate a question without presumptions, and feeling. Then you must ask the question in a way that is not condescending.

As for God...the evidence for and against God/gods/fairies, giants, werewolves, zombies, mermaids, etc., etc., etc. is insubstantial. So much so, that stating a knowledge of God or knowledge that one does not exist is a blatant lie.

We are then left with belief. You believe, despite no evidence, I do not believe due to this same lack of evidence. I am 48 years old, I was Catholic, then Baptist and now I am atheist. I did not arrive here by chance, or through rejection of Christ, or through any other means than logical deduction, reasoning and my own honesty and integrity. I went to the middle east, heck I spent almost a decade over there. I have read every bible, manuscript, tapestry, holy book and at one point truly believed. Here I am on the back end of my lifetime, I thoroughly realize that religion is detrimental, a belief in gods is not. Whenever you deal in absolutes, peace, compromise and unity are impossible when there are so many categories as religion has.

If God helps you, fine, but do not peach such a contradictory, man-made religion berating other people with differing beliefs, because beliefs are not facts, they are deeply personal, and oppressing one persons to establish yours is innately wrong.
