Evidence No God Exists?
Earlier a question was posted asking atheists for their evidence that no God exists. When people answered that it was up to one alleging the existence of a God to provide evidence, the questioner stated that that was a cop-out, the religious story itself is evidence of the God, and atheists must provide some evidence that no God exists.
As the questioner is so insistent that a story about a God constitutes evidence of that God, and that someone who doesn't believe in that God must have evidence that the God doesn't exist, I'm curious what evidence Christians have that Allah doesn't exist. Or Zeus. Or Odin.
This is directed towards Christians as the questioner revealed his beliefs in his additional details and as the Bible is so often promoted as evidence by Christians who insist atheists provide evidence that there is no God. Others, however, are more than free to answer.
I look forward to being given specific evidence that Allah, Zeus, and Odin do not exist. After that, we can work on all other Gods this type of person does not believe in.
And of course, logically speaking, the presumption is that failure to provide such evidence by one who alleges atheists must provide evidence God doesn't exist becomes conclusive proof that the person's monotheistic belief system is inherently untenable.
Heaven Bound: the question is what evidence you have that the Gods you don't believe in don't exist. C'mon: everyone expects atheists to prove your God doesn't exist - now's your turn to prove Ra doesn't exist. Following the typical argument on R&S, if you can't provide evidence Ra doesn't exist, he must exist.
Serf: good point. Ok then, just Zeus and Odin for now with maybe Ra thrown in for fun.
Scip779: you haven't provided evidence Odin, Zeus, and Ra don't exist. The Ra story doesn't include Yahweh, so following your logic the Ra story is just as conclusive proof that your God doesn't exist. Where's your evidence that Ra doesn't exist? That's what atheists are always called upon to provide...

I'm a Deist/Pantheist and I do believe in a God, but also admit there is no evidence of one. I can separate faith from science. I have a B.A. in Anthropology and I do not shove "God Did IT!" in there.
The only circumstantial evidence I have of a Deity is beer and Jessica Alba. Not much, but it is the best I have.

There is no evidence Against other gods (even the Bible states that there are 'other gods'). The Greek pantheon might have been Nephelim for all we know. Demons had a free pass down here and performed miracles for humans (see Moses when he confronts Pharaoh and the magicians match Moses' miracles).
Interesting question.

Evidence No God Exists? Believe me, there is a God. She walks among us in the shape of an Inanimate Phoenix.

There is no holy bible of Zeus or Odin so they must be fake.
I mean everyone knows that, simple really.

im a Christian. i dont believe in other Gods because my God says there is only 1 God and that is Him. If there is only 1 God there cant be others, therefore i dont believe in Zeus or Odin or Allah. Have you read the Qua'ran? theres lots of things mistaken in it, and i'd rather not believe in a God that makes mistakes. God is perfect and Allah is not, so Allah is not a God. he was made up by mohammed. when moses was given the Ten Commandments on top of the hill, there were hundreds of people who saw the light and saw the Ten Commandments placed in Moses's hand. when mohammed got his "ten commandments" after moses, no one saw mohammed. theres my proof.

I think you make a good point, but Allah is the Abrahamic god (ie the Christian god).

oh my godidit :)?
<sarcasm> you must be so close minded to not see that [god] is the only true god and [gods-god] are just a bunch of [misinterpretations-frauds-demonic mystifications]... </sarcasm>
any one who demands you to be open minded to EXCLUSIVELY believe in 1/1000 of known world pantheon ....just cannot be serious.
Source(s): and i did not draw the circular logic, yet. see scip779 below for the perfect demonstration. start A-er believes in A. A says A is exclusively true. someone believes in B. B-er says B is exclusively true. B must be a mistake-herezy-satan speech, just because A says A is exclusively true. goto start - Anonymous1 decade ago
