Do you understand how much the brain filters intake compared to what we actually see?

Im not necessarily suggesting that someone would see G-d if there was no filter, let alone actually know how to identify G-d should they see G-d, but using the logic that "i dont see it so it doesnt exist" is flawed at best.
no, not in the case of god since there is literally zero reason to think it exists. the fact that it is not detected in any manner what-so-ever directly opposes common descriptions of it. therefore not seeing (or detecting) is perfectly fine as evidence of its non-existence.

Fam, what PROOF are you LOOKING for? Or do you want a God to talk to you face to face? If he did, would you still DENY? What exactly do you NEED to confirm gods existence? I'm just asking

Wait, god has a face? I probably wouldn't need god to speak to me face to face..........but yeah, like I sorta mentioned earlier, I would need something objective. Obviously if god knows everything, he/she/it knows exactly what would take to convince me, and could easily do that. It could do something what would be undeniable to me.

Come breh, keep up. My point was that even though Africans are getting help, we can still conclude that they are largely being ignored. Just as, science has delved in spiritual matters, but again, it is largely ignored. Which is probably why you believe its hogwash lol

Uh... yeah it's ignored. Because from the amount of research we've committed towards the spiritual realm, (and we're talking millions of dollars per year to study this stuff) we've found no useful benefits. "Spiritual" claims, for the most part, are bullshyt. Why invest more time and money into something when current findings show the claims are baseless? Justify that MORE research needs to be done, please. :leostare:

I don't know anything about the plight of African nations.


I might regret asking, but do you have a link to the study or studies that this happened?

Here's an article describing one upcomming study: http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=5921098&page=1

:upsetfavre: Discussions about religion go no where. It always ends the same with both sides coming to a stand still in their arguments. I'm at the point where I don't care what people believe in. If you want to believe in God, or not, or want to believe that a green, levitating bagel is the master and creator of the universe, then please, by all means, believe it. Whatever gets you through the day.

except these folks want to dictate to others what they should and shouldnt be able to do based on a book of mythology. If they just stayed in their basement reading their stories and praying I would agree...

Agreed. I live in a very religious part of the country and absolutely hate it when someone gets overly preachy to me over little things like me saying that Halloween is my favorite holiday instead of Christmas (this actually happened to me recently). But I'm not going to act like some (not all) atheists get overly preachy themselves too. Like I said, religious discussions never go anywhere. :upsetfavre:

fukk preaching. These nikkaz tryin to make laws and govern based on magical story books. And I have convinced theists to assess their belief. Got one of my good friends to go from Jehova's Witness to deist. After years of discussion I finally got my mom reading Godless by Dan Barker and got her cutting down on church activities and working on her doctorate. The way to less superstition is more education.

When I get her to stop tithing she can take a hell of a vacation every year.

But see the video kinda indirectly touches on this as well. You're viewing the universe from your view and trying to understand it from there. God puts us in certain situations that don't necessarily have to be good or bad, it's about your perception.

The death of a baby certainly seems devastating but it can also increase one's faith as well. The devastation is for the grieving family more than the baby and is only temporary because in the grand scheme of things, if God exists then what you perceive as death, a bad thing, is simply a transition, a good thing. And there is good in grief for those with the strength to find it.

Life is a test. See, in school, they teach you the lesson then give you the test. In life, you get the test, then you learn the lesson.

I don't believe in coincidences, friend. Do you think this conversation is merely a coincidence? If so you are only looking at the surface and I would encourage you to dig deeper in all things in life.

the fact that it is not detected in any manner --->therefore not detecting it is fine as evidence of non existence

can you explain how this makes sense, logically? there are a lot of things that arent detected at one point and end up being in existence. what aspects of these common descriptions have been looked for and not detected in any manner what-so-ever, and what aspect(s) of these common descriptions if detected, would be good enough for you to be evidence of its possibility of existence/?

also, since when is a common description that It can be directly seen?
