The devil (who probably doesn't exist) is in the details.

Well, I'm really getting tired of this religious debate because I made my point in the first post, and I have been more or less repeating myself again and again. Here I hope to make it the last time. To adress Spodudezor's citation that the logical evidence does not disproove that god exists, that is true; however, I have never made the claim that logic can proove that, in fact I have claimed that logic prooves the LIKELIHOOD that god does not exist as the major religions see it. This is because the accounts by the major religions show that god came to earth and prooved his existance to people, however, now there is no physical evidence of his existance. In addition, since texts from the past are not a reliable source of information to anyone who analyses them critically, then it seems that both the accounts that we have of god, and the physical evidence are flawed. Since there is no real evidence to proove that god exists it is reasonable to believe that he PROBABLY (not definitely) does not; especially since other civilizations are known to have made up religions in the past that are not accepted as being true, this seems plausible.

Some would answer that since god is omnipotent, god can hide its existance from human perception. This seems to contradict the pre-existing accounts of god, however, since god is appearent to humans in religious accounts. Thus, if the evidence that tells us that there is a god is not valid, then the idea is likely entirely invalid, since there is no evidence to support any other notion of the existence of god. So could god exitst? MAYBE, but it SEEMS LIKELY that god does not. Since we base our beliefs on our perceptions of the world and it is perception and analysis that bring us to conclusions rather than just "feeling" then establishing a likelihood seems to lead to the conclusion that there is no god.

In conclusion, since there is not DEFINITE answer to the question the logical answer is only a likelihood. Since there is no definite answer can not conclude that a) god definitely exists, and/or b) that god is Yahweh, Jesus, Allah, etc. All we can really say is "maybe", but in terms of the religious rhetoric that we are exposed to, the conclusion can be drawn that god as we percieve it does not likely exist.

Alright this has been a moderately beneficial excersise in philsophical writing, but I am tired of it. This is my point, and I think I've made it clear enough. Lets move on. The Mullet loves you.
