PHP Code:

From a logical standpoint one can't prove a negative regarding God's existence.

I have to dissagree with this. I mean, in almost any other case it would be true you can't prove something never existed, but the whole god theory has way to many contradictions and paradoxes to be claimed true in the first place. People who believe in god say he created everything that exists. That means there was a time nothing existed. But it took an already existing god to create existence. You could say that he both exists and does not exist. But existence does exist, so thats a paradox. I'll list some more...

-"God Can do anything." If god was really omnipotent, he could do anything...And if he could do anything, he could do the impossible. Now, think about this...2+2=4. Could god make it equal 10? Or 12? Or 150? It would be impossible. (And it doesn't count to say he could make you think it was 10. We could get drunk and do that on our own.) If he could do anything, he could simply make 2+2=10 and not have to mess with our preception to do so. You also can't really say he can only do the logically possible, because that goes against his credibility on omnipotence.

-"God created logic." Now, logic is basicly how we as living beings get through our day to day lives. It's how we use our brains to get us out of cetain troubles like keeping our car doors locked, or voting for Kerry. Basiclly the ability to choose right from wrong. But that's also what free will is, and god can't control that. It's supposed to be our choice to believe in him or not. If we make the choice not to, we are punished. But if we are subjected to Gods logic, isn't it Gods accountability if one chooses to denounce him and not the individuals? Why should we be punished to Hell for the lack of logic we've been given? I guess my point is there just cannot be such thing as free will if your bound to the constraints of Gods hampered and restrained logic.

-"God created time." Creation is an event in time.

Those are just a tiny amount of theories. I am an athiest, or a non believer in god or whatever you want to call it. I think it's reasonible to have a life of demanding evidence rather than blind faith. It takes questioning to uncover the bullshit in life. And that is a huge reason I don't like religion...or more specificly Christianity. It seems like it's against all forms of using logic. If you dare question god or Christ, you shall burn in hell kind of thing that makes me go, "allright enough of that crap." I believe the consept of god is merly a specific substitute for that which we cannot understand in life. And yes I said belive. I'm not against believeing which Christains seem to think Athiests are against. Like I said, I'm against blind faith. I belive the universe is endless, though I have no proof, I feel there is reasonible theories to it. The whole god thing to me though is just bs. Even if there was a god, we would just fuck up all his messages anyway. So yeah call me an agnostic now or whatever I don't care, it's all so stupid. Just live people!
