Religious Zombies Keep Responding To Criticisms With Either Pseudo-profundity Or Pedantry?
April 28th, 2009
Sometimes they the polition’s answer or poor insults instead. Other times they don’t seem to understand the question at all and decide to alter it, turning it into something they CAN understand AND answer. Most of the time they just completley ignore the question and quote irreleveant references from the Bible. I have been on Y/A a while now and have gotten 6 proper answers to my questions from theists, and none of them made me stop and think. Except one which proved the existence of a deistic god using the laws of thermodynamics which conveniently left out negative entrophy.

I agree - some answerers sound like ego-maniacs. They use words from theology, psychology, science, even rhetorical terms but then I see that their logic is immature.
And yes, I’ve almost given in to the thought of altering the question to fit into something I can answer, but then thought again, and decided, “no, that’s not what he or she is asking” so I’ll keep my comments to myself.”

Why should anyone on YQA care whether you believe in God, or don’t?
Why should anyone attempt to convince you to believe otherwise than you choose to believe?
You appear to be operating under the delusion that what you believe matters to someone other than yourself.

He is in Everything! The Air you Breath, The Sun in the Sky, The Moon and the Stars! You can see him in everything! If you open your Heart and your Mind and truly seek him he won’t hide from you!

human logic can never answer your question,, believing in God requires faith which only Him can give to you.. “Faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see” hebrews 1:11…God bless you…

There is no proof. The folly of fundamentalists is that they create a house of cards around the “proof” that they need in order to believe. What happens is that one belief rests on another, which rests on another, which rests on another, until their whole worldview is formed by a system of rational belief that isn’t so rational anymore. This happens because they’re whole rational system is intended to explain or legitimize something inherently irrational.
This mindset is, of course, a result of the enlightenment and the reformation. And I’m not saying it’s all a bad thing…
But I am a Christian studying for the ministry who does not believe faith is rational, and that’s okay. In fact, I think the attempt to make faith rational is dangerous and leads to all sorts of weird belief systems and problems that become repressive.
If you can separate your worldview from your faith, and can accept cognitive dissonances, paradoxes, and systems that might not entirely add up, I think you have a stronger grasp on reality than people who try to make sense out of everything. All creation and existence is beyond our rationalizations, and perhaps is inherently irrational…
Psychologists even say that those who can accept cognitive dissonances and live with the tension are more intelligent.
Sorry I couldn’t give you a better answer.
——Response to Additional Details——–
I realize that your question is “prove God exists,” and “because I say so” isn’t a good answer.
But trying to create sophistry to explain things has been religion’s downfall for thousands of years. The most intelligent people know some things just can’t be explained and accept it. And if you can’t intellectually prove God to yourself, perhaps you’d be happier as an agnostic. I know many people who are agnostic, and they tend to be quite smart . . .

give me a proof a god’s nonexistence, a proper one…
I am listening…
you are so full of yourself, it is not even funny…
you would not know thermodynamics from your ********… but that is separate subject, and you are totally confused about entropy (your spelling sucks, too)
you like religion ???
nobody OWES you a proof of anything other than that you are a militant, angry as*swipe, and you already proved that yourself too many times to count…
