God cannot exist: Proof

[psychopixi]

Respect++;

Point numero uno:

christians have a bottomless bag of excuses for this, usually about us learning lessons, testing faith, etc etc...

They need to work through those excuses though; is it a good idea to worship an entity that sometimes teaches those who are already faithful "lessons" through unbearable suffering, while letting the supposedly undeserving have an easy life?

________________________________________________

Point numero dos:

the old "can god cook a buritto so hot even he can't eat it." This argument is only a literary paradox, not a practical one. all it's saying is "if god is omnipitant than he should be able to create limits for himself". the traditional christian concept of god's omnipitance is the ability to do anything at will. the only thing he's not capable of is not being capable of something, leaving infinite capability as his only capability. and besides, one could argue that he could, if he wanted to, create a being above himself, in your case, that being is some kind of super rock.

This point I concede.

Point numero tres:

This doesn't disprove god, it disproves one of the many texts that claim to be the word of god.

Yep, well I did say at the top that I was gonna work at some of the flaws (as I see them).

Point numero five:

nah, god's just weeding out the faithfull from the unfaithfull by only giving heavenly admittance to those who lack the critical thinking skills to question the flawed concept of god's existence.

And I bet you just can't wait to get into heaven and meet them all.

Point numero seven:

essentially, your asking the meaning of life/existence, which is the endlessly debated and undecided upon argument. but to cop out in the traditional sense, god works in mysterious ways.

I don't think this is about the meaning of life / existence.

We have two statements:

(1) It's postulated that to be perfect is to have no wants, needs or desires.
(2) Christians claim that God is perfect.

It's not about the meaning behind his life / existence, this point is just based on the fact that if both of the given statements are true, then there would be no reason for God to have created the universe. This holds true as long as the statements are true, irrespective of any meaning to God's existence.

And finally:

To be clear, I don't believe in god myself because there's not a single argument for the existence of god that doesn't come up short. it's simply illogical and lacking any credibility. but, I don't support fallable arguments simply because they support my side either. it drives me nuts when, for instance, people hear something against george bush and automatically believe it. I'm totally not a bush supporter, but I won't accept an argument against him unless it's critically analyzed and proves true, and the same goes with any other belief.

I don't believe in God because I cannot make myself. I don't like many aspects of the Christian religion (note; I said "many aspects" not "all aspects") and there is no way I could force myself to believe in God as they present him. The existence of a god / many gods, I'm fine with, provided they're not imbued with phenomenal my-god-is-better-than-your-god powers.
