Where did God come from?

You fool! You deny BOBO lord of the earth! BOBO created the earth from a coconut and the evidence is clear but in your non-belief you will not see it. You shall perish in the land of jabberwocky! Your efforts to ignore BOBO are useless he will judge us all in the year 2260 and you shall see his Armpit hair and you will forever beg for his mercy!!![stupid mode off]There is now as much evidence for BOBO as there is for any other God(s).

So you’re saying that because most of the world believes in a god he must exist? Half the people in the world might believe that the moon is made of cheese but it doesn't that make it true. Hey it sounds good so it must be true, right? Like witch burnings and crusades? And we can’t forget the millions of lives taken in the name of christ as well. Actually Islam is the fastest growing religion if I remember correctly. Well, of course we all love the many heart warming instances of rape, murder, infanticide, and slavery contained in the bible. I agree Great! would you be so kind as to present some of this evidence to us?Also the fact that people have morals and ideas of right and wrong is not proof of god. EDIT: added some stuff[This message has been edited by Rand Al'Thor, 12-17-2003]

Why can't we get morality from ourselves? Why do we have to take the blind leap and say "because god gave it"? If what you are saying is true then everyone in the world would have to agree that murder or even rape is wrong. I am sorry to be the one to tell you this but many people view murder and rape as just things.Also if morality and justice are from god then why isn't every single atheist on a murdering spree? Or why did christens see no harm in the murder of thousands during the crusades. And even more importantly why does god order murder and rape in the OT.Our sense of justice and right and wrong come from experience not god. If you tell your kids that stealing is right and they don't get any punishment for doing so they will view stealing as a normal thing to do.

Grace2u,
You still haven't explained why we need god for morals. Please in your next post address this.

I have yet to see any evidence that suggests a greater entity. Please will someone provide some. You are contradicting yourself. You say that morals don't have to come from god, but then you say that the fact that we have morals proves there is a god. You can only have one or the other not both. Facts? What facts? How is atheism or agnosticism a "broken" system? What is this intellectual challenge are you referring to? Like the profound concept of believing everything you’re told and not questioning what the bible says?

Willowtree,
How about providing some evidence and suggests that the "urge" for god comes from god. You and Rrhain can argue about how cicular the argument is after some evidence is shown.
