Wow. I am never ceased to be amazed at hard core atheists. The
very God
that you spend so much time trying to disprove is the one that gives
even
your meaningless life purpose! The fact is, if God didn't exist,
you
wouldn't care. Why would you spend all your time trying to
disprove
something that didn't exist? Therefore the only options are as
follows:
1. God does exist and you are a wacko who shouldn't be listened to
because
you are wrong.
2. God doesn't exist and you are a wacko for trying to disprove what
doesn't
exist and therefore shouldn't be listened to anyway.
And where do you get off on squatting domain names? Everything about
you
reeks of self-centred bull crap. Did you have a bad childhood?
If so, get
over it and do something a little more constructive with your life.
You've
obviously got the skills to do something worthwhile and significant
(otherwise I wouldn't bother emailing you) so why not do something
that
actually benefits people. Anyone can criticise and be anal.
Here's a suggestion. If you want to set up a site that promotes
critical
thinking on important topics such as social justice, faith,
government
obligations, etc, why not offer some tangible and beneficial ideas
for
others to consider. Who knows, you may even provide a site that pools
the
world's greatest minds to ultimately increase the quality of life for
poeple
on the planet as opposed to attempt to strip from people a faith that
obviously provides a sense of security for so many.

Darwin responded:
Which God are you referring to?
***********************************
Hi Darwin,
I was curious to know if I would receive a reply. The God I refer to
is
purely the concept of an all powerful being that created us and
everything
we see. Many people search for God all their life (as if he is really
lost
or something). Many come to differing conclusions about who he/she/it
is.
I believe everyone has the right to explore their origin and if they come
to
a conclusion that helps them, then great. If they want to share
that
conclusion with others because they genuinely believe it will
increase
another person's quality of life, then even better. What I do find
ironic
though is when hard core atheists make it their personal mission to
crusade
the world with their evangelistic message that God doesn't exist.
This is
just as evil as the Middle Age Crusaders who attempted to forcebale
convert
nations to their religion. There was nothing kind nor benovelent in
their
crusades, just the same as I see nothing kind or benevolent in hard
core
aethiests endeavouring to dominate the independent decision making of
those
who possess a faith in a creator.
So to answer your question, "which God?", my answer would broadly be
a
supreme being. I do not want to confuse debate about which particular God
or
faith/religion is the "right" one as I see that the original discussion
is
purely the existance of a God.
My question for you is, why do you feel the urge to disprove the
existence
of a God you don't even believe exists? What benefit will it bring
you
and/or others?

The truth shall set you free of your God dependence. If you were to read the pages that I have posted at www.atheists.net you would clearly see the reasons why I think the truth is so important. Here is a short summary. There are no gods in control of the planet and humanity is having a great effect on the planet surface. If we care about our children then we should ensure that we don't create a Hell for them. If you spend time with your imaginary god then you are wasting time of life -- the only life you have. I don't like to see people waste their life because I care about them.

Hey Darwin,
You said that you care about people but you haven't explained how not
believing in the concept of a God actually helps people more than
believing
in the concept of a God.
I really don't want to get into an arguement about whether God exists
or
not. (I actually haven't even given my opinion on that. I have
purely
questioned the logic in your hopes to disprove a God you don't
believe
exists.)
At the end of the day, if people enjoy your company, they will ask what
is
important to you. I think that is the appropriate time to discuss
such
things. Until then, I don't believe it is beneficial for anybody to
push a
particular persuasion on somebody.
I hope you have a happy new year.

Thank you for sharing with me your real concern. I will give this
question much thought and answer it carefully at a later time. I do know
that for humanity as a whole the truth is better and the truth shall always
prevail.
