    Actions like rape, cruelty, racial hatred, and child abuse aren't just socially unacceptable behavior. They are truly evil.

    The man who says it is morally acceptable to murder innocent children is just as mistaken as the man who says 2+2=5, and the man who says it is morally acceptable to rape little children.

    Some things, at least, are truly evil.

    But, if that is the case, then it follows logically and inescapably that

    Therefore God exists.

    Some people think that evil in the world provides "overwhelming evidence" against the existence of God.

    I think the exact opposite is true. Real evil in the world actually serves to prove the existence of God, since without God to ground objective moral values, good and evil as such would not exist.

    Ooops sorry I forgot my mic...lol


    Yes I can. If god exists and there is absolute truth, we could presume one of those truths would be "thou shalt not kill." However, we both know there are situations where it is ok to kill. Take another universal law: do not rape. Well, what if someone has a gun to your head and your entire family and says "if you don't rape this woman, I will kill you and your entire family?"

    Obviously these are specific scenarios and the rape one in particular is very extreme, but the fact that I can come up with a situation where the alleged "absolute law" does not apply, that means even if god exists, morality is not absolute...UNLESS, your response tells me that even in those situations, the person under duress should not kill or should not rape and allow himself and his family to be killed. Then, I will acknowledge that IF god exists (which he undoubtedly does not), then there could be objective morality.

    You can have your own opinions, but there are laws of society and sometimes you have to conform your actions to that of society regardless of what you believe. This has no impact on morality.

    Ask yourself KK, why would there be strong outrage? Their is a deep conviction within all of us that know what the gunman did was wrong. Where does tis deep conviction come from.....Deny it all you like, but their is a deep conviction. Even the gunman knew what he did was wrong, hence he killed himself

    IF not god, then what? nothing is not a good replacement. 

    Look at Spinoza's god, the same god that Einstein believed in. If no god, nothing, how did everything happen. If this is the case, you have NO logical inference to the best possible explanation. If you don't know, then you are agnostic

    Every single person has faith. I dont care what anyone says, every single person has faith. Faith is the belief of all things unseen.

    We draw out faith from evidences around us and deductive logically from these evidences. Here are some examples.

    There are 2 airline companies, Company A and Company B

    Comapny A has a 100% safety record, Company B has a 60% safety record.

    Which ever plane you hop on, there is no guarantee, 100% proof/evidence that the plane wont crash, including plane A.

    When looking which plane to fly, it would take less faith to hop on plane A than plane B, however, it still requires faith.

    If you want to marry a girl, it requires a greater leap of faith to marry a girl who has had 10 divorces in her life as opposed to another girl who has never been married before. However, it still requires faith to marry the girl as no one can give you evidence, proof that if you marry the firl who has never been married , you will not break up with her.

    Every single person practices faith every day in a variety of things they do. When you bet on a team, you have faith that the team will play hard, etc etc. Nevertheless, you dont have evidence that they will play hard, you have faith they do.

    Remember, examine the evidences around you and reasonably deduct where you put your evidences.

    Look at the world, did the universe pop into existence from nothing? did the constants of the universe just so happen to sit exactly where they are to the millionth degree to allow life permitting conditions? Did a lightning rod happen to just hit a pond somewhere for life to start occuring?  You see, their is a ridicolous amount of luck for all this to happen. We dont even have to go that far.

    Here is the deal breaker, all the evidence we have is that the universe began to exist, space time and matter began to exist, that is, prior to this, space, time and matter did not exist. Did these create itself out of nothing?

    I have been told by Atheists when explaining this argument, you see, you dont know something cant come from nothing. You see how the Atheists are completely changing their level of epistomology here. No way in their daily lives they would ever believe something can come from nothing, but when this argument comes up, they resort to "how do you know it coant happen".

    It takes an enormous amount of faith, actually, you would be called ridicolous if you believe something can come from nothing.

    You see system, an agnostic is someone who doesnt hold a belief either way, they are open to God existing or not.

    When you say you are an Atheist, you have made a commitment to a side.....To say you dont know but its not option A is a 2 horse race is a contradiction.

    Definition: An agnostic atheist is defined as one who does not know for sure if any gods exist or not but who also does not believe in any gods. This definition makes it clear that being an agnosticand being an atheist are not mutually exclusive. Knowledge and belief are related but separate issues: not knowing if something is true or not doesn't exclude believing or disbelieving it.

    Thats the type of response one gets when they cannot defeat their arguments...

    A person was murdered. 2 people brought in....It is 100% either person A or B. It is one of them.

    Lets use systems line of reasoning.

    System, who killed the person, person A or person B?

    System - "Well, i dont believe its person A and i dont know know",.......
