Should people believe in God or not?
Prayer is not effective
God does not answer prayer. Which people are the richest? As wealth goes up, belief in a god goes down. All people pray for wealth. So prayer does not work....
Why God is Justified in His Actions and Why Humans Remain Ignorant
The reason humans do not understand God is because they refuse to place themselves in His position. It is obvious that humans are born babies and remain as such. Your brain does not evolve. Your brain does not change. The only thing that happens is that humans grow in size. Place yourself as the Supreme Creator or whatever name you may choose. It is only you, and a canvas of void. You may create, do, and establish whatever you please. You may lie to yourself for your own sake, but no matter what...
The Argument for/Pro presented in the debate "Atheism is reasonably impossible" is flawed
I would like to take up the debate started by errya in "Atheism is reasonably impossible" since his opponent has not replied. The reader should note that the Pro position here is the Con position in other debate. The argument presented for/Pro "Atheism is reasonably impossible" is flawed.

I will let my opponent start first with his arguments, and then we just go from there. Thank you and good luck....

People argue separation of church and state, but that's just it, the state is interfering with the church. Marriage should stay between a man and a woman, because that's how it was intended, it isn't fair to go and change original, religious views and beliefs....
The Euthyphro Dilemma
The Euthyphro dilemma asks: Is the good good because God approves it, or does God approve it because it"s good? Answer me this and I'll become a Christian!...
All things were created by God and Human wisdom cannot explain everything

"principle of double effect" opens a slippery slope, see ectopic pregnancies
people say the ends do not justify the means. they use the principle of double effect as a way around what might otherwise be thought of a an evil means etc. but at least as applied in any cases I can see, and probably in theory too, it opens up to a slippery slope. people like to say these hardline rules, the ends don't justify the means but principle of double effect works, help avoid "slippery slopes" etc. but even these "principle of double effect" arguments open up a can of worms, a sli...
