    Just because personally I don't believe in God and Jesus as we are forced into believing doesn't mean that I totally dispel the word god. If god was the universe and all created in it then fine I believe. If Gods son was the SUN then yes I would believe in it, Why? because I can see, feel and touch his miracles every single day unlike the bible stories which are really far fetched and never true.

    Very simple.

    Due to cancer and the effects of chemotherapy, I have lost all my natural teeth. All your deity has to do to make me believe is, overnight and completely without pain, restore the lost bone mass in both my jaws, regrow the nerves, muscles, and associated blood vessels, and install a full set of healthy, straight teeth.

    Note that I'm not even asking for my myriad other health problems to be fixed; also getting real teeth back would amazingly be an increased burden. I'd have to learn to brush and floss again, start seeing a dentist, and be the proud owner of a set of useless dentures that cost us about 3 grand out of pocket.

    I've made this point at least thirty times, and I'm still sitting here gumming a sandwich.

    Might help if you tell us which of the many many thousands of gods people have believed in you want us to believe in first.

    Concrete evidence that can only be of the particular god you want us to believe in.

    But start small if you have to. Evidence of the supernatural first then work your way up.

    If something is real its REAL. There isn't a shell game of, "pray to god and you will feel him in your heart", or "look around there is something here so clearly god MUST exist" or "A painting has a painter..etc"

    Someone can reassign their feelings to mean "God" but the world is what it is, and works perfectly fine with out "God's Hand"....He would have to be more present in a REAL and Tangible way for me to even consider him (maybe) real....and of course concrete evidence never hurts either.

    People keep posting that question on this forum.

    And I keep posting this video link, which quotes the Bible as examples of specific behaviors which it is reported Jesus did, and specific promises, behaviors which it is reported Jesus said.

    And the video maker says that the FACT that people relying on Jesus to keep these promises, are ALWAYS disappointed, proves that Jesus is imaginary.

    I keep asking people to try it for themselves, since it only takes five minutes.

    And, please, if you get better results than the video predicts, let me know.

    But not only have I gotten no reports of better results, I haven't even got a message that any Believers would risk being disappointed by even watching the video.

    Well, here it is again:

    a mystical experience, or a call from god as referred by paul in corinthians. an experience of this very rare kind in our age can be triggered by love/loss and by the son (which is the word of god spoken through someone else i.e a human being). one has to really want to know what god is.

    Atheists will believe in Him after they have taken the Mark Of the Beast, and are on their knees in front of Jesus on Judgment Day. But, it will be too late for them. The end of this story is not a pretty sight. God bless.

    Overwhelming evidence. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. God is contradictory to a large amount of evidence, thus evidence for him must be even greater. The Bible is nowhere close.

    Dude the reason atheists don't believe in god is they don't either need him or are smart enough to see religions flaws.
