Existence: is there a point to it?

[Calvin Noble]

Robert and Krista, you are on a path of sin and filth and are both in dire need of redemption. Consult your local clergy before it is too late and you wander about like other liberal atheists and drug addicts.

[Aristotle]

There does seem to be a karma a set of rules that apply in the universe, but as for an over-riding power behind all that, I would have to say where is the physical evidence of that?

[Robert0326]

Why would I be ashamed of what I am (Atheist)?  A pastor or priest doesn't have any more answers about life than I do.

The believer has no evidence.  Just faith, which is nothing more than wish-thinking.

Why yes, he does, Robert, his words come from the Almighty.

[Robert0326]

Prove it. 

[Calvin Noble]

Robert, one doesn't have to prove the existence of the Almighty, that's why it is called "faith." Either you have it or you don't.

[Robert0326]

So in other words, you can't.  Taking it on faith is nothing more than wish-thinking.

[Calvin Noble]

By that same token, you can't prove that God does not exist, it is only your natural bias against the idea that tells you so.

[Calvin Noble]

In other words, Robert, you are just as narrow-minded in your own beliefs as you accuse me and others of being.

[Robert0326]

My beliefs are based on evidence and reason. So if that's being narrow-minded then I guess I am.
