Five hundred eighty proofs of God's Existence
I can proudly (or should I be ashamed?) say I have encountered and argued against over fifty of these arguments as if they were solid.
http://www.godlessgeeks.com/LINKS/GodProof.htm But after seeing all the possibilities, I wish I could find new people that will try to use the other 400+ arguments |
Number 24 is perfect.

# ARGUMENT FROM ASSHOLE
(1) God exists, asshole. (2) Therefore, God exists. Asshole. |
94's great, too.
ARGUMENT FROM TEEN CHRISTIAN MOVEMENT (1) God is so totally awesome, dude, and if you would pretend that Creed and POD were good bands, you would realize that. (2) Also, our Youth Group leader Skip once, like, cured a broken leg using only the power of the almighty Lord. (3) Therefore, God exists. |
Amusing...
This one was sad and true, however. Quote:

There is not a single shred of hard evidence that any "God" exists. Atleast, none that I know of. Science is what we have. I don't want to insult anybody who does believe in "God",
In fact all of my family (except me) believes in God. But the theory that a supernatural being exists and created everything we have is just ridicules mumbo-jumbo and highly improbable. If you believe in religion, fine, that is your call. I am not saying that you are bad, just misguided. I think the belief in a god or indeed any supernatural being is misguided and irrational. Don't be ashamed Godslayer Jillian, go do your research. Don’t rely on ancient stories; concentrate on hard facts and real science.I would like to apologize if I stepped on anybody’s toes here. That was not my intention at all. This is a sensitive topic in the world particularly now. |
Jesus Christ, you're a fucking idiot.

This statement provided on the Why Atheism page is
a complete failure: "Absence of evidence is evidence of absence." This is why Agnosticism>Atheism. There is not enough proof to prove or disprove the existence of a God. The rest is faith. |

*Captain Obvious to the rescue!*
Operton_Man: Jillian is saying that other people have used those reasonings as if they were solid and that he has argued with those people. |

The old saying goes backwards, but there's no actual grounding behind it. Saying "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" really means nothing. What is the philosophical ground for believing that saying? It is entirely arbitrary. Granted, the appeal to ignorance goes both ways. Not seeing evidence of something does not mean that that something is inexistent; it merely means that the evidence for it has not been found. But if we were to postulate we have discovered all information and we still have no evidence for a ridiculous claim, then the absence of such evidence is inherently and invariably evidence of absence. Agnosticism then is not philosophically sound nor temporally practical. |

I actually argued that in high school. One of the qualities of perfection is its non-plausability. We can imagine a perfect pendulum - one with no mass on its connector so its motion is not stunted by mass other than the one in its end. But in real life, if the connector had no mass, then it wouldn't exist. The less mass a connector in a pendulum has, the more it resembles the perfect pendulum, but it can never BE perfect. Equally, if the point of a vehicle is to go from point A to point B as fast as possible, then the hypothetical perfect vehicle is one that reaches from point A to point B in no time. But a vehicle has to travel through time, however minimally, to travel through space, so it's all about how minimal that space is so that it might resemble its perfected ideal as much as possible. |
I remember this from my early youth. I think this one is my favorite:
ARGUMENT FROM A VIDEO I WATCHED WITH MY DAD (1) Me and my dad watched this video where the Virgin Mary appeared on a building in Egypt. No, it was kinda blurry...lots of people saw it though and they were pointing at it. (2) Therefore, God exists. Quote:

No one can concretely prove for certain that you did or didn't steal it. What are you hoping the court will decide about that? Agnosticism is NOT practical, and you yourself know all the reasons, as you yourself said them, but you refuse to construe these reasons in a sensible and grounded manner. |

At least SYL is good enough to admit God has the same relevance than your hypothetical pet afghani unicorn bigfoot that is invisible and incorporeal to all but you.
It's dumb, but at least it's not hypocritical. |
Quote:
"No one can concretely prove for certain that" he/she did "or didn't steal it." "What are you hoping the court will decide about that?" Agnosticism is practical in the sense that nothing can be proved or disproved in the existence of [a] God[s] or not. Quote:

I stated that you cannot prove you have one or disprove it.

Answer the question then. Let's see how practical agnosticism really is. Quote:
An entire philosophical premise is only subordinate to your whimsical decision that it is only applicable in the stupidly arbitrary occasion that is attributing absurd divinity to an absurd concept? That's absurd! Not practical at all and certainly not a defensible position for anyone that actually knows what they're talking about. |

So then you're just as willing to believe that I do have a pet afghani unicorn bigfoot as you are to believe that I don't?
Well... all right. |
An entire philosophical subordinate to where it works. That's
insane! I am a functionalist in all aspects of life. What works simply works. In terms of God it can never be proved or disproved. Quote:
