    EDUCATION and the INTELLIGENCE to KNOW the TRUTH and LIVE in REALITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The first person to produce a single tiny little piece of verifiable evidence for any god will become world famous and mega rich!

    Academia states that in the absence of any sort of evidence of the existence of something it must be deemed not to exist until verifiable evidence is found - thus god is held not to exist pending some sort of verifiable evidence.

    The bible is what is called "Faction” A fictional story set in a factual time and place. Thus the time, place and real historical characters are all correct but the fictional characters and stories are not!

    There is not one single mention of Jesus in the entire Roman record - that is right - not one! At the same time as he was supposed to have been around there were a number of Jews claiming to be the messiah - all of whom are well recorded!

    There is not a single contemporary record from any source and even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!

    He was supposed to have been a huge problem to the Romans and produced wonderful miracles but still not one contemporary record?

    Even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!

    Pilate is recorded in the Roman record as a somewhat lack luster man but no mention of a Jesus, a trial or crucifixion that would surely have been used to make him look brighter!

    At best he was an amalgam of those others but almost certainly never existed!

    Not one word of it is contemporary with the period and was not written until several hundred years after the period the story is set in!! How did the apostles write their books more than a hundred years after they would have been dead?

    Christianity is an invention of the Italians and that is why it came from the Holy ROMAN Catholic church!

    Please realize that those claims for the Old historians are worthless since they were not even born until long after everyone in the stories would have been so long dead!

    Josephus AD 37 – AD 100

    Tacitus AD 56 – AD 120

    Suetonius - 69 – 130 AD

    Pliny the Younger, 61 AD – 112 AD

    Justin Martyr (Saint Justin) AD103–165 AD

    Lucian - AD 120 -180 AD but he was hostile to Christianity and openly mocked it.

    Pamphilius AD 240-309 AD

    Eusebius AD 263 – 339 AD

    Photius AD 877 – 886 AD

    Thallus - But there are no actual record of him except a fragment of writing which mentions the sack of Troy [109 BC] Showing that he was clearly not alive in biblical times.

    Some even try to use Seneca. 4 BCE – 65 CE but as a Stoic Philosopher he opposed religion yet made not a single mention of a Jesus or Christianity!

    Even funnier is trying to claim Celsus AD ? – 177 AD Who said that Jesus was a Jew who’se mother was a poor Jewish girl whose husband, who was a carpenter, drove her away because of her adultery with a Roman soldier named Panthera. She gave birth to an illegitimate child named Jesus. In Egypt, Jesus became learned in sorcery and upon his return presented himself as a god.

    Research shows whilst education reduces religious belief each year of further education reduces religious belief by up to 10%!

    Because God is only a concept, unlike mountains that we can know exist, or even the loch ness monster that is potentially an ancient life form believed to be extinct, the concept of God is like that of magical Genies or magical fairies, we can imagine such a concept, even find superstitious reasons to support our belief in such a concept, but in term of reality, it's a big nothing burger. As it stands, I cannot even suspect advanced alien intelligence let alone a Godly one.

    The facts show that nothing supernatural exists and that rules out all gods.

    Where’s my money I prayed for? Or the cancer my daughter has that I’ve been praying away? Doctor says she’ll be dead in a few months.

    Because there is no credible, reliable, verifiable evidence whatsoever to indicate that any god is real, that's why.  Why would you think that something as implausible as an infinitely powerful, omnipresent deity actually exists when there is no evidence to support that claim?

    What's that then?

    Source(s): Presumably you believe in something, which you call god. You have an idea of what it is you believe in. I have only the vaguest idea of what that is, unless you care to explain it. I'd guess I don't share your belief, whatever it is, but I suppose ideas are real (in a sense), so I agree with your contention.

    Wrong! Prove your god is real, otherwise shut up about your imaginary friend being real, that's your mental disease talking.

    You have no valid reason for saying that.  That's why I think otherwise.
