if there was no God to not believe in,atheists would not exist.

Too bad god is not real lmao

God wouldn't exist without humans ...

God is eternal and uncreated. He doesn't depend on anything for his existence.

He was created by man.

"You're an adult with an imaginary friend" is the logical fallacy of mere assertion.

You sound like a person without a rational argument against the proposition in the OP.

I'm glad you've learned your lesson. :)

Coming on to someone's meme with an insulting comment, then deleting that comment when someone else refutes it, then pretending that other people are "taking things too seriously."

Not very classy.

[image deleted]I actually deleted my meme in my profile by accident.

Happy now?

AM I THE ONLY ONE ROUND HERE THAT PRAISES THE NOODLY GOODNESS OF THE FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER! REMEMBER! HE BOILED FOR YOUR SINS!!!

I challenge anyone here to prove that he didn't!

Ramen!

since no one knows,we are just accidental cosmic goo, we all,that means everyone,passes a "story" to their offspring.

Notice how you have more upvotes than down, but the majority of haters came by to comment below. That's to reaffirm the illusion of themselves as always being smarter and right. For they can never be wrong. They can never accept the fact that they are wrong about anything. They would have you believe that they themselves created, and not discovered everything there has been, is, and ever will be. Their arrogance knows no heed. They're fools. Only knowing what they're told and chastising those who do the same. Hypocrites. Just like everyone else. Claiming perfection and rejecting the human condition of fault. Members and facilitators of the same society they claim to hate. Never seeing the forest for the trees for their tree is the only one there is and everyone else's tree doesn't exist. Atheist: The smartest dumbasses I know. Trying constantly to convince other people that everyone is wrong except them. As they try to do with your meme. Claims of superior intelligence in an attempt to belittle others. Intolerant bigotry. If they're so intelligent, why are they not gods themselves? Last I checked toxshimmy didn't create shit and never will. No atheist ever will. Yet they will lay claim to creating life. Life was always there. Matter of fact they haven't even discovered all that has been created. Yet they have the nerve to tell you that you're wrong. Sure. Sure. It just kinda happened...

right
there "evidence" against God usually ends up as ad hominems . lol

Good meme.

. In the world of sense we find there is an order of efficient causes. There is no case known (neither is it, indeed, possible) in which a thing is found to be the efficient cause of itself; for so it would be prior to itself, which is impossible. Now in efficient causes it is not possible to go on to infinity, because in all efficient causes following in order, the first is the cause of the intermediate cause, and the intermediate is the cause of the ultimate cause, whether the intermediate cause be several, or only one. Now to take away the cause is to take away the effect. Therefore, if there be no first cause among efficient causes, there will be no ultimate, nor any intermediate cause. But if in efficient causes it is possible to go on to infinity, there will be no first efficient cause, neither will there be an ultimate effect, nor any intermediate efficient causes; all of which is plainly false. Therefore it is necessary to admit a first efficient cause, to which everyone gives the name of God.]

Is that from Thomas Aquinas?

yes. twelth century.

Thanks!

Why do you say there are "mountains of evidence against Christianity"?

I don't know of even one piece of evidence against it. Are you able to name one please?

You said there were "mountains of evidence" against Christianity, so I asked if you could name even one.

So far you've provided storytelling, rhetorical questions, and an ancient philosophical argument.

In other words, you haven't provided any evidence against Christianity yet.

When you can't provide evidence, your phrase "mountains of evidence" sounds like just an empty phrase.

Please feel free to try again. I don't know of even one piece of evidence against Christianity. Are you able to name one?

What's sinking in is that you don't have any evidence against Christianity. Modern artistic depictions are not "evidence" of what Adam and Eve possessed regarding their physionomy.

One more time (although I'm getting a bit impatient with this now). I know of no evidence against Christianity. Do you have any or not?

When you can't name evidence against something, you shouldn't say there are "mountains" of it.

Do you have any evidence that elves don't exist?

Let me help you out here. There are only 3 things that science has problems explaining that God does explain. The beginning steps of the big bang, the beginning steps of abiogenesis, and the beginning steps of evolution. Science cannot explain any of it, but once you combine God and science in these matters, it all makes a lot more sense.

Now for the other parts of your statement which are completely false. People didn't come up with stories to explain everything. God is not a physical man sitting above us in the clouds watching us. He was able to take a physical form when walking with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Then in the 1,000 year time span of Adams life, he was able to pass on his experiences with God to his descendants. In fact, there is only a couple hundred years difference between when Adam died and when Noah was born. So there wasn't really any lost information from how everything took place when Noah started creating the first written language to put all the stories into a more tangible form. When it came to God tell Noah to build the Ark, it wasn't just God speaking in Noah's head, but instead talked to him in his dreams. Also it was a few thousand years, not 500 years between the time of the flood and the birth of Jesus. And so what if he made wine for a wedding? What does that prove or disprove?

As far as that quote from Epicurius, there is one simple explanation for that, free will. When we were created in the full image of God, it was not based off of a physical form. This image of God is the heart and soul of who God is, which includes the ability to make our own choices. If God wanted drones to obey His every word without question, He could of done that, but that defeats one of the main purposes on why we were created. We were created for Him to love us and for us to love Him. It isn't true love if we do it because we are programmed to, but instead it is when we choose to. But you know it is funny how you quote someone who was born and died before Jesus Christ. You know in Athens there were many statues depicting many gods; Thor, Zeus, Athena. But there was an alter with a plaque that read "To the Unknown God". Every other statue they were able to name something about that god and what that god supposedly did, but nothing to the Unknown God. I will let you guess who that Unknown God is. If you need help, Paul tells us in Acts 17 about this God.

people came up with stories ???
you mean philosophers like Aristotle?
lol

The only time that God has shown and proved himself to mankind is through the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus authenticated every word spoke about him. For a three year ministry,he is written about more than Alexander the Great Xerxes the Great, Emperors, Conquerors , combined.
many museums have relics and artifacts from the first century. Jesus Christ is the most celebrated Man/God in world history.

That's the key to everything about Christianity... the person of Jesus Christ.
