Theres a tendency to become more conservative with age and more likely to believe in God as a result. For me it’s the opposite, I used to be extremely conservative and I only become more liberal with age. There’s also many people who make it through the hospital without attributing it to God. I get that there’s many things even doctors can’t explain-at least yet but that doesn’t mean it’s automatically God.
Even though this is a Christian forum, it is the non-Christian section.
And I don’t wish that God is not real, nor do I claim that he isn’t. I am only saying that there’s no evidence of one. To steelman your argument, we didn’t have evidence of black holes 2,000 years ago but that doesn’t mean they weren’t there, we eventually found out.
My ultimate position on the existence of God is: I don’t know. How many Christians can you find saying that they don’t know? It takes humility to admit that you don’t know.
He who says that he knows anything does not yet know it as he ought
most believers die as Esau i think, and few ever get to Jacob’s
wrestling with God, let alone discovering what manna (
What is it?) really is, or The Pearl, (as you have done), or Israel
21And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, with each gate consisting of a single pearl. The main street of the city was pure gold, as clear as glass.
22But I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
23And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, because the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its lamp.
24By its light the nations will walk, and into it the kings of the earth will bring their glory.f
25Its gates will never be shut at the end of the day, because there will be no night there
so while i can pretty confidently say that Yah does not exist, since that requires “objective evidence,” who can say that He is nonetheless not “real?”
and while i dont know, i suggest that those who goto ppl with snakes on their lapels and give them money for symptom relief have made their spiritual choice, and that they will also goto a religious leader and give them money (that does not go into any
storehouse) for their spiritual relief
