<p>Why does God have to be omnipotent?</p>
<p>He came from heaven to earth, to showwww the way, from the sky to the ground, the earth to above, lord I lift your name on high</p>
<p>^Art of Mind, what are you talking about? Jesus?</p>
<p>^ He didn’t capitalize the word “lord”, so I would either assume he wasn’t, or that he was committing an act of blasphemy.</p>
<p>Okay first off, you have to believe that you do exist after death to even be with god. A famous philosopher named Bertrand Russell said that our brain has a structure full of “habits and memories” and that “if our brain is to be destroyed it is scarcely possible that the memories and habits we have will still exist.” Namely, once our memories and habits have been destoryed we will no longer exist! </p>
<p>As of now there is no way of proving that god exists or not.</p>
<p>Do you think that God is just going to strike you down if you ask or just give you what you want if you prayed? If He showed himself, then we’d all be too damn dependent on him and he’d be forced to kill us all like what he did in the Old Testament.</p>
<p>Can’t prove/disprove the existence of God? Yay for agnosticism!</p>
<p>God does exist and everything else in the holy scripture, including every tiny detail, is completely true. Yay for fundamentalism!</p>
<p>But wait, God exists… but if one were to remove everyone that believed in God, then God wouldn’t exist. Therefore, God only exists in people’s minds. Yay for nominalism! (I think that’s nominalism anyway…)</p>
<p>On the other hand, I believe in undergraduate engineerism: Must… finish…impossible…problem set… gaaaaah!</p>
<p>Anyways, engineerism aside. Existence of God depends on what’s going on in your mind.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I was just trying to be funny. geeeez</p>
<p>I think that belief in a God is ******** for other, more intelligent reasons. aha :D</p>
<p>what’s god?</p>
<p>A God or supreme creator is probably the most logical reason for the beginning of life. Not necessarily a Christian God or the hindu gods or whatever, but some sort of God that we don’t know about. That’s my two cents.</p>
<p>^ so you’re saying that Dawkin’s satirical stab about the giant holy teacup could be true? 
after all, if it’s some sort of god we don’t know about, what stops it from being a teapot god?</p>
<p>I’m not sure who dawkins is, but yeah i guess lol. We could be talkin about any god here. Maybe it’s the christian god, maybe it’s not. Either way although I don’t really like organized religion(I still go to church though out of habit), I still think it’s only logical to think that something as complex as our world could only be created by a superior and complex mind. Every machine has some sort of engineer after all.</p>
<p>[Richard</a> Dawkins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Dawkins]Richard”>Richard Dawkins - Wikipedia)
^ the famous atheist</p>
<p>I really have no problem with people believing in whatever god they so choose so long as they don’t try to force it on me. I’ll stay in my little atheist corner and the general populace can worship all it wants, just leave me out of it ;D</p>
<p>we’ve already talked about this</p>
<p>Dawkins - EPIC FAILURE</p>
<p>I’ve tried reading Dawkins at the local bookstore cuz of all the hype and he’s pretty ridiculous. I agree with the above. Mildly entertaining at best, outright egregious at worst.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>if by talked and epic failure you mean you didnt understand what he was saying and therefore disregarded his ideas then i suppose it would be (a failure on your part, just to clarify)</p>
<p>Theists who try to prove God’s existence annoy me more than the new wave of militant atheists.</p>
<p>^ same here. And I must say your username amuses me =)</p>
<p>Dawkins has quite a few good points, but for the most part his aggresively strong opinions convolute the argument he attempts to form, making it seem as if he’s bent on “proving”/“disproving” the absence or presence of a god (which, he is). Rather, a better approach for him would be to focus on the erroneous aspects of organized religion, which he briefly touches on in his documentary, but I find that he often mixes modern organized religion PRACTICES with the actual school of thought itself, a rather irksome effect.</p>
<p>If only you guys realize the power of the Flying Purple Spaghetti Monster…</p>
<p>Some of what Dawkins has to say is good but most of it i don’t agree with. I guess I’d classify myself as a deist, because in the end i still think a god created this earth.</p>
