Is god real?

But at the same time, if someone did make a valid point, the religious person probably wouldn't respond logically. Afterall, religion doesn't work around the mentallity of being logical.

If you'd like to provide an example, I'll happily oblige.

Make your point, and I'll see if I can't be logical about it.

Then, I'll make one of my own, and we'll see how well you operate in the same situation.

I can't because I do believe in God, Bob, but I am just arguing against the way some people choose to preach.

The thing that I believe in is that there is a God, and some sort of afterlife, both of which are shrouded in mystery, no one can ever know what these two things really are. The only way that you should live your life is by two guidelines, have fun and don't hurt other people in any way. If you are doing something that isn't helping other people, and it isn't fun, you shouldn't be doing it. I could go into further detail, but it is really a simple concept, and I think that any logical man up in the sky would agree that people should enjoy themselves in life and help other people to accomplish the same goal.

I do however believe in a god and in a religion, but I refuse to preach it to random people and call them close minded ass holes just because they can't think up a good point to defend the way that they think.

If presented consistantly with one or two replies to any situation and an almost constant, "I don't believe you because you can't prove it," I'll gladly call someone close minded.

this is like...the 5th thread on the same subject -_-

They are close minded in that sense, I guess, but they can be that way if they so choose to be, and it isn't my business to tell them otherwise.

If someone is close minded, then you can damn well tell them they are close minded if you want. There's no reason, moral or not, not to do so.

True... but it doesn't matter, because they have the freedom to think how they want. You also, as you demonstrated, have the freedom to call them a close minded asshole.

back to the subject at hand, you still havent stated a ligentiment reason for gods existence
