"If God's so powerful, can he create a bolder so big, he can't move it???"

Views.

Preacher-Man tells it from the pulpit of pulminary wisdom.

It's a lot harder to prove that something does exsist than it doesn't exist. No body can prove to me - however much they try - that God does not exist - I know he does, I have seen things and experienced things that prove this to me, simple. Though there are people here who will try and prove otherwise.

For most of us it comes down to faith which can be passed down.

I could struggle to prove to you that the pen on my desk exsists. I know it's here but you can't see it - you believe me and have the faith that I am telling the truth and that it does exsist. For many - belief in God is the same - it is just wether or not they trust what they are being told by others and until they have - as IB would put it - an epiphany, that faith becomes more binding and solid.

Ooerr.

Same old tired arguments raging in the forum and the world at large.

God doesn't exist for me because I do not believe.
God exists for Flanders because he does believe.

I am right. So is Flanders.
It's not hard to understand is it? Find a path that works for you and worry about making your life happy having made your own choices. Don't try and convert everyone around you into either religion or agnosticism.
For me, God cannot exist for I choose not to believe, he holds no sway.
And should I ever be sent to a "hell", I do not believe in that either, so what little superstitious sway that notion may hold does not work upon me either.

I believe I am creator and master of my own world and destiny, I cannot entrust my wellbeing to an invisible benefactor.
But hey, I could be wrong.
Then again, I might not be.

I'll find out when I die.

I really don't think there is any way to proove that there is no God.
I just feel a huge absence of a God. Which is enough to tell me that I have been wasting myself on a lie. But after 2 months of depression I've come to terms with it.

What point is there behind this piece of total bullshirt ? What relevance is there to it ?

You seem to be implying that because God doesn't want to waste his time making bigger and bigger boulders then this proves that Christianity falls down.

I really will not miss these imbecillic posts.

Hows about this - it wasn't my argument.

Which is, of course, impossible. IMPOSSIBLE. Omnipotence is impossible, and you can't argue otherwise.

Hang on, maybe it is dumb. Now there's a thought...

Okay, I was going to actually argue my case until I read this sentence. Now I won't bother.

No one can cure baldness.

That's a fact.

Do not confuse stupidity with sage-like musings.

Or perhaps we're missing the point?

A bolder what?

Deity?

Boulder.
Not "bolder"

If you're going to discuss theological idealism and the possibility of omnipotence, at least spell it right.
