Physical bodies exist.

Psychic bodies, souls etc. have never been proved to exist.

Nobody has ever proved that anything other than matter/energy exists.

Until they do it is perfectly reasonable to assume that matter is all that there is.

Until you can prove something exists, anything I may say about is just as valid as anything anyone else can say about it.

So I say that the soul flashes with a purple light and tastes like lemon.

That's as valid a statement as has ever been written about the soul.

PLEASE prove that it is wrong!

Thanks.

i) There's a big daddy in the sky who will take care of you. ("Apple pie in the sky by and by" as the song says)

ii) It easier than giving the subject any real thought. ( All the thinking has already been done for you, it's written down in a book and all you have to do is believe.)

iii) The truth that there is no god and humanity cannot rely on anything to save it but its self is frightening to you.

Since in all their long history believers can come up with no better argument than faith (i.e. "if I wish hard enough god will pop into existence"), where does the belief in god come from?

"Is God willing to prevent evil but not able? Then he is impotent. Is he able but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Whence then is evil?" - David Hume

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life." -John 3:16

If God is omniscient:

i) he would have known before he made us that we would sin, freewill or not.

ii) he would also have known who would follow his son even before he created the universe

If God is omnipotent:

i) Who imposed on him the requirement of sacrificing his son to save us?

ii) Who told him he could only have one son?

If he is truly omniscient and omnipotent, doesn't he seem an awful lot like a little kid playing with dolls?

For thousands of years theists have persecuted and killed non-believers. In all this time they have never shown proof that the god, on whose behalf they have performed all of this mayhem, exists. All of their arguments (ontological, first cause etc.) have been demolished, so they fall back on "God exists because I have faith." This is just wishing god into existence.

The universe doesn't work that way.

Yet they think everyones' children should be subjected to school prayer etc.

Enough from me.

Any new proofs. :)
