Is there a good? Do you believe in an all encompassing omnipotent being, or is it complete hogwash developed by mankind
Given today's state of the world it's very easy to argue he is nothing but a figment of imagination...so, let's hear the argument for his existence

"I'm not opposed to the idea of some sort of god or higher power structure. But I have none that I have found plausible enough to believe in."
The only high power structure that exists today is wealth, it's not what you can do for your fellow man, it's how much you can earn fucking them over |

i used to.
but then my son died.. and i refuse to believe that to have been part of some 'devine plan' or whathaveyou. absolutely not.
i think it takes something massive to loose your faith, and when it does, for me anyway, it's never coming back.

That is not a reason to say god(s) don't exist though.
Bit like aliens - simply because you haven't seen them doesn't mean you don't get ridiculed, put on meds or institutionalised. |

Hey man I'm here for religious debate not political.
Obviously you're very solid in the no god camp, and that's okay. |

Sorry for your loss, and couldn't agree more....I won't dwell on how that can be for greater good... because from your point of view it's senseless |

Exactly, the Devil is a Christian and Judaism concept so by acknowledging one you are acknowledging the other.

More evidence leads to existence of other life than a supreme being tho |

If what I've experienced across my life and in particular, the past 6yrs, is some sort of trial, then the "divine creator" is an evil, sadistic twat and (s)he can go screw itself.
A so-called all-loving god that allows children to starve to death and be horrifically murdered or sexually abused etc? I think not. Irrespective of the arguments about free will, it seems utterly preposterous that a divine being would have created all this crap in the first place (someone must, presumably, have "designed" the ebola virus, for example?)
Nah, I'm firmly out of the religious camp, having been brought up in it all my life. The last straw was a vicar refusing to baptise my son because I was an unmarried mother |

Depends how one defines ‘god’.
The Aristotlean prime move, first cause, spark of existence? Very likely.
Moral and benevolent invisible hand in the world? As a survivor of the holocaust put it, for that to happen either there is no god, or if there is he hates us. Sobering logic. |

So are we to judge supernatural events as Godly actions or just rational ones - wondering on you definition, they could be apparently be big or small miracles?? |

A mediator for what? You don't believe in the common denominator that founds these concepts so that makes your mediation void does it not? |

Man made co struct, to instill in fear, to control and way of getting revenue for religion, ffs in the medieval era you could buy absolution for your sins from the clergy....once was the opium for the masses, used buy the elitist bourgeois to keep the hoi polloi in there places, under the guise it is God's will for you to be born in a certain strata of society. |

Have I said I believe? No I havent, I said I had an open mind on theological matters. I have given nothing away.
Now how can I do that when there is no physical evidence of that anywhere, we are dealing with opinions and ideas here remember, it's all theories.

All well and good but using religion to financial gain doesn't wholly prove his existence except in a mental capacity |

Exactly, religion over time has been used in a variety of ways without any truth or factual stats supporting a true existence...all we have are theories |

Belief does not cause wars, people do. They hide behind Belief as a reason but there is usually greed or intolerance as a real reason. |

Exactly that. Have you studied Satanism at all? LeVeyan philosophy of Satanism is interesting and relatable, it's about empowering oneself and recognising individual liberty taking back control of Christian beliefs and ideals |
