    They have plenty, it's just none of them are convincing. Take this pearl for instance.

    1) Everything that happens has a cause

    2) The universe began to exist.

    3) Therefore, the universe has a cause.

    And they think, by default, that they can add this:

    4)And therefore, a Bronze age war god from Palestine is that cause.

    Really? Why can't it be Zeus or Thor or a Quantum fluctuation? Alas, all arguments for the existence of a god, any god, can be just as easily dismantled.

    LOL @ the dude who cut and pasted from creation.com, way to think for yourself mate!

    “Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”

    ― Marcus Aurelius

    I agree with Marcus, but if I no longer exist, then I can not care what people think of me. If God(s) is unjust, then there is no reward. So I live as if god is good and just. I believe as I live.

    Personally, I do not care what you believe in terms of religion. I do, however, wish you and others to be happy and for your lives to bring happiness to others. So if your beliefs make you happy and lead you to being kind and compassionate to others, then I would recommend you keep those beliefs. If they do not, then I would recommend you seek other beliefs.

    If you think your beliefs are superior or will help me be more kind and compassionate, then please enlighten me, but your post does not indicate that you do.

    I AM here whether you deny Me or not. I was here before you were born and will be here after your short brief momentary lifespan. I AM the Eternal God and nothing is Hid from my eyes. If I was thirsty I would not tell you. If I was hungry I would not ask you, but I have sent My Only Begotten Son into the world to prove that if you don't trust in Him and follow Him and accept Him then you will be cast out into the outer darkness, into the bottomless pit.

    For I AM that I AM - just because you deny that I exist at the same time does not make Me not exist. I know you for I created you, I created you unique there is no one like you before and there will be no one like you when you are gone - I have created you to have a relationship with Me - I gave you the free will to choose to accept My love and gift of My Son so that you may believe - the choice is yours yet not always will you have it - Choose Christ and live, reject Him and die eternally

    Do Believers have an argument for god's existence?

    Off course they do look around you how do you think life came into existence? BY CHANCE? SO IS EVERYTHING LOGICALLY BY CHANCE?

    If you read the Bible you will find that no human can prove God's existence. Only he can do that through the Holy Spirit.

    Your question is a waste of time.

    they have no proof other then there faith. and besides every religion claims to be the true religion so we have to assume that at least all but 1 is entirely wrong

    faith is god and god exists in faith. faith exists thus god too. god exists for those who believe in him/her. but not for anybody else. is god beneficial? i think so because believers can have a good time socializing in their church or religious gathering. at least they can have social cultural activity.

    but I don't mean god exists outside faith. yet, god does exist in faith.

    1) Everything that happens has a cause

    2) The universe began to exist.

    3) Therefore, the universe has a cause.

    - The universe has the perfect conditions for life. Special parameters such as the strength of gravity, Earth's distance from the sun, elemental composition, atmospheric composition, etc. All of them must be precisely balanced for life to exist. It is extremely unlikely that this happened by chance.

    - Why is it that every society has a sense of right and wrong? Some things such as murder, stealing, etc are not just socially unacceptable but are universally

    called "wrong". Where does that universal moral law come from?

    - Roman historian Tacitus and Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, along with many other, refer to Jesus in their writings.

    - Jesus fulfilled every single prophecy that was made about Him. Including things that were out of His control, such as where He would be born, who His parents would be, how He would die, etc. The odds that He would fulfill only eight of these prophecies by coincidence are astronomical.

    - If Jesus had not truly risen, why couldn't His enemies simply produce His body and parade it in the streets to prove He was still dead? That would have easily shut down Christianity, but they couldn't do it.

    - Why were Jesus' disciples and other eyewitnesses be willing to be tortured and killed for their testimony to the Resurrection if they knew it was false? What did they have to gain?

    - Why did some of Christianity's strongest opponents, such as Saul of Tarsus, suddenly turn around and become passionate evangelists?
