Does God exist? Also, explain why.

Sup?

>>1040096
God exists because existence exists?

How many of you Christians do I have to sacrifice to Odin to get into Valhalla? Also, do Jehova's Witnesses count?

>>1040137
Because existence exists doesn't mean God exists. It can still be a fiction. Raptor Jesus doesn't exist.

>>1040151
I'm not sure, I haven't had much education on European religions.

>>1040156
Oh, you were asking why I believe God exists, not why He exists?

Well, belief in God is a matter of faith. I believe in him because I feel that there is an original cause to my existence

> "Even though the existence of God cannot be determined through reason, a person should wager as though God exists, because living life accordingly has everything to gain, and nothing to lose."

Truth is Christfags have theoretical the upper hand on the debate of weather god does exist or not, Pascal couldn't have said it better. Atheism is utter arrogance exponentially more so than Evangelism, the most you can Scientifically be without being utterly wrong is an Agnostic as one can never prove or disprove the existence God.

In the nutshell
If god doesn't exist both atheist and Christfag loose as their both dead and stay dead, but if god exist and Christfag lives accordingly he gains afterlife and atheist remains dead/hell/annihilation or w/e the hell is in store for them, simply Athiest looses on all angles.

> belief in God is a matter of faith
Not so

>>1040411

inb4 atheists saying "what kind of god is that if he sends me to hell for not believing in him?"

what about reincarnation and the view that this life is "hell" and when you die you go to a higher sphere and then reincarnate to earth again and again until you fulfil your spiritual goal by working here, which is being not reincarnated to earth anymore?

>>1040411
Why do you assume God(s) existing would happen to be the one(s) described in the judeo-christian tradition? It is as likely for God(s) to be found in hinduism, animism, shintoism, buddhism or any other religion.

So if God(s) exist which religion should an atheist convert to win in life(death)?

>>1040475

>buddhism
>god

lol

>>1040485
Well the principle was closer to finding salvation than it was about God. I was aware buddhism doesn't have God(s) but added it anyway because it's a major religion.

>>1040475
Somehow this has the tendency to shut up christfags when they can't really tell why their religion would be the way to salvation.

>>1040507

ok. for hinduism, they have a "main" god - brahma, the others are under-gods which are all part of brahma and even the human soul is part of him (quite interesting, look it up) iirc. the animalism god would be nature (gea), and i have no idea about shinto because i'm not a weaboo.

anyway, why wouldn't it be for all these to be the same thing, just under different names?

>>1040537
So I, an atheist, would achieve salvation only by believing in a higher power because all the religions are essentially same shit with different wrap around it and organised religion means nothing for my salvation?

>>1040094
any kiddie fuck today nigger?

>>1040558
But then again why would I try to achieve salvation by believing in God(s) when the idea of salvation through God(s) is just invented by worldly organised religions?

God and religion just fall badly on Occam's razor.

>>1040558

i don't know, maybe, because i haven't died or anything yet, but religion isn't just "shit with different wrap around", it's about spirituality and a lot more, don't be ignorant.
and if you believed in a higher being, you wouldn't be atheistic anymore. also i don't see it as salvation (from what?) but more as advancement.

>>1040603
Advancement towards what? For if the answer isn't salvation or something like that religions are better to be put down and reformated as worldly philosophies.

Who is the Holy Spirit? I know he's part of the trinity but what exactly is his role?

If God came down to you and said "I command you to have gay buttsex," would you do it?

I think we already know the answer.

>>1040646

well, advancement in the spiritual, supernatural world. and, uhm, religions are and always were worldly philosophies, but some (parts) of them have been simplified for "peasants" (can't find a better word). and as an atheist why do you care in "salvation" by something you deny exists?

>>1040667

always wanted to now that too. i remember tho that in 1st and 2nd grade of elementary we draw it as an eye in a triangle, sounds familiar?

>>1040713
Because it's fun to see godfags of all sorts tripping on their own feet when I question them about the correct religion. But in this thread mainly because in >>1040411 was claimed that it was better to believe in christian god than not to as that would save you from ending up in hell. And christianity is not the only religion obviously so I fucked up their arguments.

>>1040745

i see. but that wasn't really his point, he only should maybe have written theistfag there. anyway, you seem not so bad but try to be more open-minded and don't lean too much towards antitheism. i have to go to sleep now, bye.
