  1. When you are talking about a historical account, as in Genesis, the burden of proof is on those who would dispute the eye-witness account to:

    a) Show the eye-witness is not credible

    or b) Provide another (credible) eye-witness with an account that refutes the first

    Anyone who tries to justify atheism using probability theory either doesn't understand atheism, or doesn't understand probability theory.


  2. No. Agnostic beats atheist, agnostics believe that there may or may not be a god, but that until some irrefutable proof is provided they will not believe.

    But apart from that I'd say yeah Athiests probably have a better chance at being right than any religion

  3. Atheists don't win because it's not a contest.  As an Atheist, I want the truth whatever it may be.  My problem is, I need to see some evidence to support the claims before I can consider.  I can't believe in God just because the church says so.  

  4. hey! You forgot my God, Vinny 'Cool Breeze' Romero.  He has rock hard abs.  He smited the worlds greatest barber just so he could always have some one to trim his beard.  He wrote the shaft song for Isaac Hayes and when the devil didn't want to 'mellow out' went to town on his rump with a metal folding chair.  That's the God I believe in.

  5. I think that the trick lies in the fact that a follower of a religion is called "a believer" not a "knower".

    Christians BELIEVE in God, does not KNOW God

    And so on the others.

  6. does it matter who is more correct?

    does air you breathe exists?

    if you are atheist, why is there death if that is the end?

    if you are a believer, why is there some many different religions?

    just be universally good and kind and whoever God is and whom you pray to will know.

  7. Yes.  Option 1.

    How many god names can you invent?

    Now ask others to prove they don't exist.

  8. LOL

    Some of those are lesser gods.

    Some of them may be what that culture consider as "God" (so of course, there will be different names)


  9. LOL

    Most of those names are unfamiliar to me, I who read mythology books.

  10. Kami sama is love!

    =P

  11. If you can't see evidence for the existence of God wherever you look, it is pointless me trying to convince you otherwise.

  12. your list is missing god, but yes we are right.

  13. Your list is missing the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I feel discriminated against. >:(

  14. wow are you sure you didnt miss any.

    According to your logic athesist have worst odds than non atheist.

    If there is a God is bound to be on that list somewhere

  15. An absence of evidence is not proof that no evidence exists.   We still know to little about the universe and its history to give a reasonable answer to your question.   We just do not know.

  16. i am betting on atheism.  

    The god concept is silly.  --- just look at that list of names.
