You fail to include the sense in which God, as a concept, is.

Hah, hah. Though I'm inclined to agree with you, this isn't a very articulate thread. Okay, I've had my laugh; you can close it, mods.

I do not see the point of this FAQ.

In my religion there are many gods. I don't try to blare it out to other people to choke down. The point in my religion though is not really concerned with the certain gods but for what the gods stand for which makes you a better follower.

However, I am not trying to shove it down another persons throat. I agree in all the scientific evidence and everything that has been described but the point is, leave everyone to there own devices.

If someone wants to believe in Christianity to its fullest let them. Same for Islam, Hinduism, Jews, and other religions like Assatru.

If you don't believe in God that is perfectly fine. If someone else doesn't want to follow your evidence, which I must say is extremely lacking it is their democratic choice to follow whatever they want to follow.

The bigger question is: "Why did God blow himself up?"
You fail to include the sense in which God, as a concept, is.

If without faith God is nothing then without man God is nothing. This is untrue as Deity exists before and after mankind.

How would you know that? You weren't around before and you won't be around after. For all you know, Deity might be simply telling you it has been around for all that time in order to dissuade you from disbelief.

God exists; he is a Flying Spaghetti Monster (www.venganza.org). Proof of his existence (in reply to the disclaimer): 1) DNA seems a little noodly to me 2) Blood is thick and red, so is spaghetti sauce 3) Do a google image search of galaxies a few look amazingly like the FSM.

Q. Is there a god?
A. As of current, we cannot prove whether there is or isn't a "God" creature in existance somewhere. Those who belive A god(s) exist usually have no proof that he does exist... nor to their opponents, the atheists.

does that mean you are supporting the fact that there may be more than one god, or that as in my view (limited as it may be) no god purely, born, eat, shag, die, rot. everything else inbetween is a bonus.

I had an argument with a five year old that reminds me of you. Just as much scientific testing can be done to prove that God does exist. None.

Maybe its just me, but this doesn't seem to be a very good FAQ, seeing as how he/she/it didn't even substantiate their claim with any evidence, yet implies that theres already been 'research' done. 9_9 *sigh*

Quoted, for awesageness (yes, I mean awesage, not awesome).

There is no scientific evidence for the existance of god(s) but there is no evidence that says he/she/it/they can't exist, either.

Oh, and the original post seems to be flamebait so blatant that nobody is going to the effort to flame.

I think it was just a brief opening that me and a handful of others fell into. My best guess is that it has something to do with having tried to edit your profile a few nights ago.
And the world still haven't quailed to your politics... :D
Yeah, well the problem there is that I have yet to discover how NS Z0MB13ism is spread among other humans. Z0MB13 plagues are rather nonimpressive if they can't spread.

Heh. Proof denies faith.

That's a pet peve of mine. I think the apostles had pretty good evidence (proof even) in the existance of God. Does that mean that they had no faith? Faith means complete trust. So I would say proof would help my faith.

Well it's no fun if it's so obvious. It's more fun to roundabout mock the original poster by hijacking his thread in all sorts of ridiculous directions that barely pertain to the original post but at the same time parody it.
