What would it take to make me believe? Honestly, not a goddamn thing_but the story of God to show hisself and since that's never happened, it never will.

Yeah, I believed for 52 frigging years of my life, all a joke now that I know he ain't real. It pisses me off bad that those idiots long ago put that crap out there. Many lives deceived living a constant lie, what a joke, and the joke is on all those who still believe. I will say this is any believer if God is real, he's a ****ing *******.

I don't believe. I may have, at some point in my life, 'thought' I believed. I was mistaken. It was temporary insanity.

I have faith. I have faith in humanity to do stupid things. I have faith in humanity to prove me wrong and do incredible things. And sometimes I'm even astounded to see it happen.

But I have no faith in some imaginary being that is obviously bipolar and vindictive and mean and unable to get its story straight. I have zero faith in some book being anything more than the mythologies of other cultures.

Christianity is nothing more than a bunch of borrowed persons and stories from Egyptian mythology. They couldn't even develop their own story and had to plagiarize.

Well, a valid scientific proof, definately :D

The only thing that would convince me would be if God showed up in person. Now, there would be some tests, because it's not a topic where I could be easily swayed.

I would believe in god if there was an amputated leg, that totally regenerated itself. So a leg cut off, and then it grows back to full functionality. That would be the test of being "cured" that I could accept.

It would be nice to start with clear and unambiguous a definition of the thing that we're talking about (not) believing.



You mean specifically in humans ? Any already observed/documented/researched body part regeneration in other animals don't count, correct? If yes, wouldn't this simply be *a* god of *a* gap ?

Even if an amputated leg grew back only after (not saying "because", you know, not imputing causation due to correlation) the efforts of a bunch of people who researched and experimented (say) the application of lizard tail genes even before the amputation ... ? Maybe only till you come to know about this little back story.

The way I see it, any such miracle (like anything less or more miraculous) would be hailed as a miracle by some and researched as a new phenomenon by some ... and some may be in both groups.
