GOD happens to be his name, and usually he's reffered to by atheists as YOUR god. That's like saying you believe Zeus exists or Hera, or Athena, or the Flying Spaghetti Monster just because you know their names and have acknowledged that those are their names. Your argument makes absolutely no sense and it's completely irrational. Guess I'm a bit of everything then because I know of Buddha, Allah, and Gomer Pile too! Well gaaaaawwwwlly!
I am not sure if God(s) exist(s) to the same extent I'm unsure invisible fairies exist. I can't disprove them, but I can say wherever and whenever I test for them, the answer is the same as if they didn't exist. This justifies me saying I do not believe they exist.
When we say God, we usually refer to the Deists God, hypothesising an entity that conjured up the existance of the universe, but then left everything else alone. This is the most basic version. Our(I assume laylie, vikkie and forlon are of the same opinion here) claim is there is no good reason to believe in this one, NOT claiming there can not be .
When we say YOUR/Christian God, we can refute extra claims you add-on, such as concilling 'the bible is the word of God' with 'God is good', 'God responds to prayer', 'Jesus and Moses performed miracles', 'Human morality is proof of God' and so forth. Whilst christians can often dance round and be creative in their answers, upon questioning on what grounds those creative answers should be believed, ends up with circular logic or just have faith.

If all of you are informed about how NATURAL snow crystals are formed (every single snow crystal has its own original design which is geometrically perfect), can you explain how that happens? Why don't you try to recreate the same conditions at which snow is formed? All you would need to do is to go up high into the sky at about the same height at which clouds rest and make sure the place where you are at is at the temperature at which water freezes. Guess what though? You will NEVER be able to recreate that process. How can frozen water falling from the sky form into such beautiful and perfectly geometrical shapes? Only GOD knows because He created it to be that way.
On what basis do we go from 'X is this shape' to 'God did it' if you can't demonstrate the process linking god to its formation.
You'll notice if you've ever played with the toy Magnetix, that structures with magnetic forces will naturally come to form geometric structures. The analogy is that the molecule, i.e. H2O (H-O-H) with a bond angle of 104.45 degrees (moot point), and an affinity for and additional hydrogen bond with other Oxygen atoms within other water molecules (due to the stripped nature of hydrogen after a covelant bond) also acts as a 'magetic force' between water molecules, leading to geometric structures of which one formation within low pressure, slow cooling environments is the same as the snowflake.
Ah but then you say, where did the magnetic forces come from and the matter... this question just moves the goal posts of your first question. We know magnetic fields exist, we know gravity acts, but if you want to claim where it comes from, give evidence and don't say that absence of an explanation is proof of God.

Well, then so, you are not sure? Okay 2 not sures. Now, lets test this. I say I am sure, you say you are not sure.
So, if I am right all people who don't believe will go to hell (Big cost right?) And if your uncertainty says there is no God, then I have nothing to fear.
But I can give you 100% proof God exists right now. Ask me how!

I don't know your situation and you can pm me if you like but here is a Bible verse that speaks of why some prayers go unanswered or takes a long time to know God's answer and a song...
Do you seek God righteousness or seek and pray for pleasures of this world?

James 4:2-4 (New King James Version)
2 You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet[a] you do not have because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. 4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

I can be sure enough, without needing absolute certainty.
also, your pascals wager ignores every other conjured up and unjustified possibility without a degree of probability evidenced. What if the real God is only testing your reasoning ability to identify that he hasn't provided evidence for his existance, and so can't trust you in the actual test. Then there's every other religion and religions yet to be made up.
analogy "If you don't believe you need to do the numa numa dance when you reach 40, you'll go to hell (big cost right?), but if its wrong then your life will be considered differently" The safer bet is the numa numa!

life and creation The whole WORLD sing GOD praises. do you have ears to Hear?
Psalm 96
A Song of Praise to God Coming in Judgment
1 Oh, sing to the LORD a new song!
Sing to the LORD, all the earth.
2 Sing to the LORD, bless His name;
Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.
3 Declare His glory among the nations,
His wonders among all peoples.
4 For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised;
He is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
But the LORD made the heavens.
6 Honor and majesty are before Him;
Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
7 Give to the LORD, O families of the peoples,
Give to the LORD glory and strength.
8 Give to the LORD the glory due His name;
Bring an offering, and come into His courts.
9 Oh, worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness!
Tremble before Him, all the earth.
10 Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns;
The world also is firmly established,
It shall not be moved;
He shall judge the peoples righteously.”
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;
Let the sea roar, and all its fullness;
12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it.
Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice
13 before the LORD.
For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth.
He shall judge the world with righteousness,
And the peoples with His truth.

It doesn't take an astronaut to assume, that when i see a house, which we know is designed by the intricate detail, I say ''DESIGNED,'' that an intelligent being made it. Your scientists also presume as much when they see such carvings into stone.
A child would have more sense to KNOW someone built a house. But just because you didn't see him build it you, with all of your knowledge would only assume for the sake of argument. Yes a child will put you to shame.
And this is where you get Atheism, intelligent people who aren't so intelligent. You sound nice and scientific up there, but tell me all about everything, then I would assume you know anything about anything. Try again.

My friend. I want no Atheist bashing here. I don't consider them an enemy of God as much as I do Satan. I say to welcome them as if you were welcoming a friend in Jesus Christ. What good is it to love only those who love you? And not all Christians believe God, because all people who gender strife will end up in hell, yet they continue to do it. The intent here was not to gender strife. But to get a response as to what they really believe. That is all.
AND AS OF YET! NO ONE CAN COMPETE!!! LOL!!

That does not prove your point. Yes this may be a site for christians to come an talk; but, this is also a clean site where almost no one PMs me saying, "hey do you want to see my c***." So I do not come here to talk about who worships what or spreading my atheist hate, (ask anyone who knows me on here I do not push my "beliefes on anyone) I come here because it is well monitured and I have fun.
