The boy in this video kind of explains the reasons why I don't believe in god.
I've had my fair share of people trying to preach the to me about God ad Jesus, and all I think to myself is, "do you have any actual proof that he exists other than stories from the bible?". Like the kid said in that video, many things from the bible seem like fiction stories, things that would be impossible to happen in real life. Why should I worship and pray to something I read about in a book when there's nothing to prove to me that he really exists?
EDIT: I have nothing against people believing in god, I just don't like when people try forcing their beliefs on me. Last week a woman started preaching the bible to me and kept telling me that I should go to the "hall of kingdoms" (I don't even know what that is) to study the bible. I don't go around trying to tell people that god doesn't exist, so they shouldn't try forcing religion on me. All I want is proof.

I agree with pretty much everything that boy said, and I'm an agnostic theist. It all depends on your outlook. With regard to your question, of course there isn't. I suspect you already knew that, though.

4 RepliesNo but there's no proof he/she/it doesn't exist either.

1 ReplyWhy was this hidden? He asked a simple question and not one person had any proof that a God exist.

3 RepliesI have faith in God, but I don't force it down peoples' throats.

So why was this hidden? The OP asked a simple question. Are theists really that insecure about their own faith that they have to dislike and hide someone questioning their God?
-
I guess it depends on how willing you are to believe that all life, in all it's complications and intricacies, was a happy accident.
-
YES hahahahah so much proof.
-
Atheists can't speak without our posts being hidden apparently.

I agree with the OP. People shouldn't go round preaching about god to every non-believer this side of jupiter only to get seriously offended when people say they don't believe in god. It gets very tiresome after a while.
-
5 RepliesOf course not. If there was, then there wouldn't be multiple religions.

5 RepliesThe answer to that question depends on the God you believe in.

2 RepliesCan someone give me a logical reason that the OP is now hidden? He didn't say anything offensive, he didn't insult anyone, he just asked "What proof of God exists?" That's all he did. Instead of just ignoring the content of his posts and wishing he manages to get banned because you're unjustly annoyed, why not actually refute his points?

14 RepliesEdited by CrazzySnipe55: 1/21/2013 12:38:46 AMNo, that's why it's called "faith". You have to take religion on faith, that's how it works. But, you know what else you have to take on faith? Science. e: Mind you, not entirely on faith, but faith nonetheless.

Put in the words of my friend: "I [b]believe[/b] in science, but I have [b]faith[/b] in God."

4 RepliesMost religion (at least what I know) places an emphasis on faith, right? Faith by definition is a belief not based on proof. If there was proof of a certain religion existing, then it wouldn't be faith, it'd just be fact. Makes it kinda ironic when people go and say they have proof as well.
-
There is no proof, but I have my personal reasons for believing.

11 RepliesCosmological argument. Ontological argument. Teleological argument. Moral argument. To name a few of the philosophical arguments. The argument for god as a scientific theory (found in 'Is There a God?' by Richard Swinburne). The arguments presented in 'Good is Great, God is Good' (edited by William Lane Craig).
