Who would be more likely to accept the existence of a specific god? Atheists or Christians....?

I am referring to any god except Yahweh. Atheists are often portrayed as being ludicrously sceptical and ignoring loads of evidence for the Christian god (yes, I know there isn't any but that's what they say) but I suspect we would accept the existence of say Krishna more easily than they would.

Give me evidence of Krishna and I will believe he exists. Christians, would you? Or would you deny the evidence, call it a trick of Satan, claim it a hoax, a delusion, refuse to look at the evidence etc as the creationists among you do now about the evidence of evolution?

    Pascal's guess fails because it does not consider an extremely hassle-free and elementary incontrovertible actuality that someone with a rational concepts can not remember on something for which there's no info. we do not have a decision. we gained't only say "as we talk i visit have self belief that there is a God in spite of the finished lack of info." because we will be telling lies. we does not be believing. i look round my existence and that i see issues that are quite magnificent yet i do not want a God to have placed them in position. i look on the discrepancies in the thoughts of God and the actual incontrovertible actuality that the God as marketed by technique of the significant religions can not exist. i might want to might want to take leave of my senses to all of unexpected have self belief that God exists. this may in elementary words take position by psychosis or mind-damage. the in elementary words incorrect way for me to have self belief is that if there replaced into irrefutable info that allowed me to reconcile the topics at present modern-day in the conception in God. we do not have a decision. no count number what the percentages were, we do not get to verify on, our mind does.

    We know there is only ONE God.. so why would we want to 'believe' in another one?

    There is PLENTY of evidence for God, but you choose not to acknowledge it.."There is none so blind as he who will not see".

    Personally, I really DON'T CARE that you don't believe..it's your loss. Why does it bother you so much that I DO??

    I can see you have never really lifted a finger to look for evidence of the True God.

    Christians obviously. An atheist is unable to believe such rubbish...yes, unable.

    Well... You contradict yourself greatly in this....

    You say: "Give me evidence of Krishna and I will believe." which is the exact same argument used towards christians and the god.

    An Atheist will deny the existence just as much as a Christian would, believing all stories as fairy tales spun up by a deranged man. "There is only one god." as it is said by the Christians. "There are no gods at all, they're all imaginary" as it is said by atheists.

    Yet some religions would be more accepting of these views and simply just shake their head, they won't yell things back and simply just... "Turn the other cheek"...

    Atheists go with the evidence. I can't imagine any Christian accepting evidence for a different god.

  • 9 years ago

    I suppose it would have to be Christians, since I think Christians are more likely to convert to other religions than are atheists.

    Source(s): No source. I could well be completely wrong about this.

    I am equally accepting of any god. Or dragons. Or vampires. Or pixies. Or aliens.

    That is, I have no evidence right now that any of them exist and so I do not believe they do.

    However, I am aware that I do not know everything in the universe. So perhaps any of these things do exist. If I were given enough empirical evidence, I would change my stance.

    One "experience" would not be enough to do it, however. An unexplained "I saw something" would not do it.

    I need proof to accept something as true.

    I don't find it hard to believe Krishna existed (although I'm not saying he did either.), but that he is a god I do not believe.

    he seems like the typical Antichrist type person who wants to be worshipped as a god.
