Ok prove to me beyond a shadow of a dobt that there are no invisble gnomes ouside in the garden.

The voices in my head told me not to.

Zeus told me these Gnomes do not exist. Prove to me he's lying.

Such knowledge of the gnome is unable to be known.

It's just silly to debate these things.

We all know God exists!

Invisible to all senses or just sight?

I don't even know that you exist (any of you). Maybe you're all just software.

I am the result of the remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent within the recursive algorithm on which this website is based.

Prove I do not exist.

Prove you do.

And so the default position, the only one that accounts for all angles and requires zero stretch of the imagination and is 100% consistent with what we actually know about reality:

"You are lying"


Why can we not apply these same critical thinking skills to religion?

-What's more likely, that a virgin gave birth to a child, or that some Jewish harlot lied about having sex? (Remember that thing about unmarried women having sex and being killed because of it?)

-What's more likely, that fourteen or more men claim to have divine knowledge about this child many years after his death, or that some power-hungry perhaps non-existant cult leader decided to fabricate ficitious dogma to control the minds of the masses?

-What's more likely, that the universe and the world as we know it formed by purely naturalistic means that we understand and by methods we can prove exist - or that some unexplainable cosmic being who's beyond time and space poofed the universe and us into existence for the sheer purpose of testing our souls for cosmic loyalty in a world where we can't even prove he exists.
