    All that means is that scientists can't prove the existence of God in the same sense they can prove the existence of, e.g., gamma rays; but since the evidence of the latter is only directly accessible to those who have the specialized knowledge and equipment required for its detection, the evidence of the former, being accessible to everyone, is devoid of any appeal to the particular species of egoism which permeates the scientific community.

    Since belief in God takes no effort whatsoever, and since in fact it is disbelief in Him which requires an inordinate expenditure of effort - as evidenced by the incessant driveling of evangelistic atheists - the question is spectacularly retarded.

    How do you detect god? What equipment do you need?

    No it does not. Asians do it all the time.

    Indians can say it takes tremendous amount of ego and confidence to not believe in Lord Krishna.

    Premises: Voluntary. Or else slavery would be the most efficient collective system.

    By defocusing from material distractions.

    Not that you will understand that, though I won't be surprised if you think you do.

    None, obviously.

    Please, you have no idea.

    I'm not sure what your point is? Is this a commentary on taxes?

    When Christians become extreme they try to compel others to believe?

    What do extreme Muslims do?

    More importantly, what are ALL Muslims compelled to do?

    I've always failed to understand how someone can be offended by something they don't even believe in.

    And no you can't prove or disprove the existence of God but this is one of those cases where the burden of proof is on the believer not the non believers. There has been no concrete evidence what so ever of a God.

    But either way who really cares? What is so hard about just accepting people for who they are? Christians there is nothing wrong with being an Athiest. No it is not your duty to convert everyone, some people are going to believe differently than you and it's ok. We don't need nor want your help to find the "truth", if we did we would seek you out. That goes for all other religions too.

    And Athiests there is nothing wrong with being religious. It isn't your duty to make them disbelieve or denounce their faith. It's ok that it says God on quarters, its not hurting you. Many say you don't like religious scenes in public places. Why does it bother you? You don't believe. If you don't believe then religion means nothing to you and trying to get them to take their religion out of public would upset more people than if you just let it go. Sure some Athiests are militant and are really fighting this, but for the most part it doesn't bother you and you know it.

    Christians be Christian and Atheists be Atheist, don't try to change each other and life will be so much easier.

    If you haven't seen examples of that, I wonder why you haven't.

    Are we talking about Muslims? I was raised in and grew as a man in Christianity; I know what I've seen and experienced related to that.

    I think it goes without saying, that any Muslim forcing religion upon others, is causing the same effect that a Christian would. Bottom line, they can only force 'so much', before it causes conflict/war. There is no getting around this.

    Religion should be a person's 'choice', not something slapped upon a person where they are compelled to conform to it. That will never work well with HUMAN beings.
