Hi Born2Preach,
​
You are asking for someone to prove a negative. It would be like my asking you to disprove The Blessed Pink Unicorn, or as one poster here has said (paraphrased) prove that there isn't an invisible, intangible, purple baboon living in your colon.
​
The proof is up to the one making the existential claim.
​
To turn it back to you, maybe you could disprove the existence of Thor, Bast, Astarte, The Titans, or Wakan Tanka.

Hi Rrhain,
​
I've read your discussion of proving a negative in another thread. Unfortunately, I don't have a knowledgable basis with which to discuss this.
​
I agree that disproving god would be very difficult. How do you disprove something for which there is no evidence, no set definition, and which can do anything and be anywhere?
​
This brings me back to my question to Born2Preach, disprove the existance of Ahura Mazda, Zeus, Wakan Tanka, Krishna...(insert desired god)

Re: Is it circular
Willow,
​
Is this urge that god supplies the urge to find "HIM" or believe in "HIM", Or is this an urge to look for anything to have "faith" in?
