i am not asking you to prove there is "not god". i'm saying you cant do it. really, people. read the text of the person youre responding to and this thread would be a lot shorter.
one would think that an all powerful all knowing god who created the universe with his voice could come up with something. there is always fox news. one documented answered prayer would do it for me.
no they dont. in fact none do. but lets pretend there really was an all powerful loving god. would he allow all the evil done in his name to happen and do nothing?
that a rather common biblethumper tactic. desperate person prays. nothing happens. he asks why and is told its your fault.
That's patently untrue as anyone who is being honest would find reading the thread. The thread was based upon Free Thinkers stated purpose to " encourage believers to think about what they believe and why they believe it." You for one , turned it around to a logical fallacy , an appeal to ignorance, by starting this nonsense:
1)Wait a minute you want God to design the test for "your criteria'? what a cop out , besides I thought you said we have ways of verifying God's existence . Please describe those techniques. 2) Well, have you been practicing your prayers to God?
you can twist it around however you find convenient. but "Free Thinker" was attempting to say (as he did in subsequent follow up posts directly) that "if God did exist, why does he let his churches fail". go back and read again. i'll wait.
