Hello,
Platt:Just so we're on the same page, I'm using the Webster dictionary
definition of faith as "firm belief in something for which there is no
proof." My question boils down to: How can faith constitute proof?
Me(I): I think that the debate over the existence of a god(s) to be
pointless. There is not, and will never be any definite proof of gods
existence. Atheists can argue all they want that God does not exist, yet
there is no way they can prove this, since god is not a physical being, and
not detectable in any physical realm.
Also, for those who say that god exists, there is no definite proof of gods
existence. If we were to say "What would the world be like, once we
subtracted god??" Things would still operate , live, function, etc. in
much the same way they do now.
Hypothetically speaking, if we were to prove one day, that God does/n't
exist, what would that change? Really.....it should not change a thing
about how we live our day to day lives. To do something good, just to
appease a god, isn't as good as doing something good, for the sake of doing
something good.
