Arguments for the Existence of God

[Archaeopteryx]

can you come back when you know what you want?
-until then there is no point in talking to you

Whether I want the Christian God to exist or not has no bearing on whether he really exists. I'll repeat the question you avoided earlier: what do my desires (or your desires) have to do with the truth of supernatural claims?

 

[HitchSlap]

you really know how to hurt a guy
-you won't find any proofs
-just reasonable explanations
-do you have one?
-do you want God to exist?
-just answer the last one

What I want hardly has any relevance.

that completes your denial
-so what are you doing here?

What denial?

 

[victorinus]

What denial?

you deny what you want
-how can you not want?

 

[Archaeopteryx]

you deny what you want
-how can you not want?

I didn't say I don't want. Your question made no sense. And you've avoided answering my question.

Why do you care? Lol

it is time for you to answer my simple question
-do you want a god to exist?

 

[victorinus]

Why do you care? Lol

Jesus said I had to

Are you going to answer my question or not? What bearing will my answer have on the question of whether a god really exists?

it will trap you
-and you know it
-that is why you will not answer the question
-do you want a god to exist?

I've already trapped you: your question is irrelevant. That's why you won't answer mine. You're stalling. Either present a case or go home.

Really? How old are you?

 

[victorinus]

See here:

I already answered that
-you are trapped if you answer my question
-do you want a god to exist?
-you cannot answer that because you know you will be exposed for what you really are

Ok. I'll give it a try if he doesn't, because I'm curious.

Let's say that I want a God to exist and I surely would like to believe in such God, but I can't because there is no evidence that such God exists due to conflicting evidence from reality that's absent of such God.

I'm curious as to why would that be an argument for God's existence, and how it is a trap?

What do you think I will be exposed for? For caring about the relevance of your question?

I'm curious about this "trap" too because, no matter what my answer is, it ultimately has no bearing on whether a god actually exists.
