Who said anything about proving God exists? The question wasn't prove god exits but prove love exists. It's been done already and continues. Thought tha'd make you... happy.

Well, I'll say this about that because I'm not exactly sure what Max is referring to. He might be speaking epistemologically. Science is all about "evidence", particularly since that is the key that separates science from religious "belief" -- Science requires evidence. Religious belief...

Does love exist? Well, it's more than just a concept. We can see it manifested in the material world. What is Love? (Baby don't hurt me. Baby don't hurt me, no more.) Seriously though since love is subjective we'd first have to narrow down an objective definition of love. We can do...

Do you know how many people would become your follower if you started an organization? I gotta hand it to you, you have the guru thing down to a tee. Seriously, you should at least write a book. It'd be a best seller in no time at all.

Ok, that was pretty funny.

Yes, I do see the connection. How to account for it is a question that comes to mind. Could it be an intrinsic desire in humans to want to live past this life? To live better lives? To live wishing that they will be rewarded for upholding a standard? But you know Christianity is far more...

Spiritual? Are you sure? Because Epicurious is well known for denying that there's a god(s), an after-life, and any realm past the physical one. To put it in a nutshell; Epicurious stated that men simply lived and then died - so while he is alive a man should seek to maximize pleasure and...

Yep. I'm a potty-mouthed, irrational, ignorant, illogical moron with crazy ideas about ruining the world that should not only be put on ignore, but fucking banned from the site. Yeah, I admit, I'm that guy.

[/b] Alright, you established the criteria for what a true religion would constitute. What about defunct religions like the Egyptian religion which lasted for a very long time? Or the Babylonian religions? And the Greek and Roman religions of whom we owe much in the way of names of stars...

Does the high spirit Boogaloo-shatza exist? Well, hehe, can you prove it doesn't? (Special thanks to Volente 00) One thing I noticed is that initially, those who are blessed with good fortune by Boogaloo-shatza tend to be greedy self-centered SOBs. But as time goes on and they follow the...

Ohhh, come now. Turok said it best, "because you say so?" Everybody likes to "blame the media" but the truth of fundamentalist Islam is EXACTY as I put it. The Hadiths goes on further about it. There is no hijacking of the religion. Moderate Muslims interpret it differently than...

All religions assert that. Prayer is an example of trying to evoke supernatural power to affect a material(natural) circumstance. That would be the supernatural interacting in the material world. All religions believe that the material world was created by a supernatural being(s)...

My god man! No but seriously. You have to see the obvious flaw in your thinking. Here's an example to illustrate. Many Muslims believe that if you die in the struggle for Allah (jihad), you will be pulled out of hell and taken to paradise where one awaits x amount of virgins to delight...

You must realize that the above is a bit silly. Well very silly. Science cannot be a religion. You use reason in order to comprehend and communicate on this forum. You use reason every day to form opinions and make decisions. The scientific method is merely a formal methodology (or...

Religion asserts that Supernatural beings interact in the natural world. Often those assertions are quite specific. Yet none of them hold up to scrutiny. For instance, the power of prayer. Indeed, there is enough evidence to suggest that for the sick, when prayed for in person or told...

He's beginning to understand the relativity of his own argument and that every absolute a theists tries to conjure is still a measure of relativity.

Well said and well played. Except I know they mean relatively nothing and are based on my own arbitrariness and perception. ;)

First of all, you can't test for something which is undefined. What is spiritual?

Relative to some of the sunsets that I see almost everyday through my glass wall facing my backyard overlooking the bay, I'd rate that a 7 out of 10.

What you fail to realize, perhaps based on your own conjured notion of god, is that all of the world religions provide the grounds upon which to test for their gods. Their gods are distinctly unique and have unique manifestations and attributes. Rather than list their uniqueness, just do a...
