@Kenny'sID, that's too bad. If your situation changes at some point, please let me know.
Hi everybody
I was raised in a creationist family, but abandoned the literal interpretation of the Bible before high school.
I'm now a college student, who has an atheist roommate. We are in the same logics classes, and I'm finding myself not able to defend my faith. It's kind of a competition between us, trying to outsmart each other. I've always tried to be a rational person, and now it's eating me up that there seems to be a major part of my life that doesn't make any sense. Now that I try to remember back what I have been taught at church and at home, all the lessons are on the surface level, but the foundation, the evidence for the existence of God just isn't there. I always just took it for granted.
I also work as a security guard, so I have time to think about these things, but I can't read about it at work. I know there likely won't be any quick and easy answers, but I'll try to devote as much of my free time to this as I can.
I've tried praying, but I haven't found answers. Now I'm asking for your help: What are the most convincing arguments for the existence of God?
(It would be really cool if the argument was in a proper logical form, but really, any good argument or evidence is appreciated.)
Ask him to prove to you that God doesn't exist (he'll never be able to). Then, move on.
Yep, and after that is said then it's time to move on. At that point, the atheist will ask themselves why they're asking you questions and competing with you in the first place.
Yes, when I say "move on" I mean don't bother trying to convince them otherwise, they don't want to change their minds so nothing one says will have an effect.I must disagree with your logic to "move on." I have had many conversations with atheists and some of them were highly educated and well read into many subjects.
They stand firm in their belief of no God.
I hope you continue to post. It would be nice to have someone in debates that didn't just resort to the handiest logical fallacy.Hi everybody
