Poll: Whaddya reckon about God's existence?

[Xamonas Chegwé]

No. My position is that an absence of evidence is ample justification for not giving a shit about something. Until there is evidence of a god or gods, I will continue to treat them as if they don't exist, whatever their actual status vis a vis existence.

You'll feel that way about Ebola right up until you start bleeding from your eyeballs.

Strawman. There is plenty of evidence for Ebola. It could all be faked (as could the moon landings and 9/11) but it is compelling enough to take seriously. The same cannot be said of god IMO.

Just because YOU cannot (or have not) perceived and correctly interpreted the evidence doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Where did I make a claim of existence or non-existence? ONCE AGAIN, you read my words and see what you WANT to be there! I'll repeat the relevant part... "Until there is evidence of a god or gods, I will continue to treat them as if they don't exist, whatever their actual status vis a vis existence."

For fuck's sake, if you can't argue with the points I actually fucking make, don't bother.

He'll never give up on this strawman. He's got nothing to annoy atheists about without it.

I dunno about god, but I know I like a good coleslaw. Problem is most people put too much sugar in it. A good coleslaw should be tart, not sweet. I believe, based on evidence collected over many years, that I make a goddamn tasty coleslaw.

Coleslaw is inedible. FACT! I have the evidence of my disgusted tastebuds.

[laklak]

That's because you don't understand the philosophy of coleslaw.

[pErvinalia]

You'll know when you have evidence of a good coleslaw when you have it. Until then, you just aren't enlightened enough.

Behead the coleslaw infidel!

It's not that he sees what he want to see. He knows exactly what he's doing. I told you all ages ago, don't let him troll you.

In all practical senses I'm 100% sure there is no god. Yes, I know that I can't be 100% sure of anything, but I just regard the hypothesis as silly and not worth real consideration. Like XC I don't really regard my position as holding a belief. Nobody expects me to have an opinion on whether the sun is pushed across the sky by a dung beetle or whether a fat man in a suit delivers presents to my kids every year, so I don't see why I should be expected to have a "belief" in the lack of any number of other things.

That's exactly what I was saying! Except not as well

No tat. You said it perfectly well yourself.

Oh man, I totally agree. Coleslaw CAN be pretty damn tasty, but yeah, always ruining it with the sugar

We all did - it's just that Seth seems a little stubbornly obtuse on this point. He hates it when people don't stay in their boxes...

[pErvinalia]

That's 'Boxes'.

[Svartalf]

It can be hard, thinking out of the box.
