Does God Exist?YesNoProbablyXChristianity:The belief that some cosmic Jewish Zombie can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.Makes perfect sense.Atheism:The belief that there was nothing and nothing happened to nothing and then nothing magically exploded for no reason, creating everything and then a bunch of everything magically rearranged itself for no reason what so ever into self-replicating bits which then turned into dinosaurs.Makes perfect sense.

There is no evidence that God exists

You cant prove God scientifically!

Eric FrommObserved that throughout history man has show a need for religion.

Eric Frommman has show a need for religion.Romans 2:14-15since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing

Eric Fromm pg 89In the humanistic trends in religions we find an entirely different reaction to sin. Lacking the spirit of hate and intolerance, which as compensation for submission is always present in authoritarian systems, mans tendency to violate the norms for living is looked upon with understanding and love, not with scorn and contempt.

Eric FrommWhile we have created wonderful things we have failed to make of ourselves beings for whom this tremendous effort would seem worthwhile. Ours is a life not of brotherliness, happiness, contentment.

Eric FrommHis belief that God does not exist colors everything he says.

My knowledge that God does exist impacts everything that I think.

There is no God

Religions cause people to feel worthless

Concerning the gods, I have no means of knowing either that they do not exist, nor what sort of form they may have; there are many reasons why knowledge on this subject is not possible, owing to the lack of evidence and the shortness of human life.Protagoras, 400bc

Legal Historical proofThroughout history 90% of societies have recognized a superior being.

Michael DentonMolecular Biologist and PhysicianEvolutionary theory is still, as it was in Darwins time, a highly speculative hypothesis entirely without direct factual support and very far from that self-evident axiom some of its more aggressive advocates would have us believe.

Michael BeheBiochemistas you study the data at a molecular level the conclusion of intelligent design flows naturally from the evidence. The reluctance of science to embrace this conclusion has no justifiable foundation.

Psalm 19:1The Heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims His handiwork.

Romans 1:19-20For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For His invisible attributes, namely, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

Psalm 8:3-5When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You care for him? Yet You have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.

Romans 2:14-15For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

E.Y. MullinsA redeemed drunkard, with vivid memory of past hopeless struggles and new sense of power through Christ was replying to the charge that his religion was a delusion. He said Thank God for the delusion, it has put clothes on my children and shoes on their feet and bread in their mouths. It has made a man of me and it has put joy and peace in my home, which had been a hell before that. If this is a delusion, may God send it to the slaves of drink everywhere, for their slavery is an awful reality.
