    This is nonsense. You cannot prove negatives. Theres no evidence for any insane theory you might want to invent being the case if you want to play that game.

    So we would have to define what proof was, what belief was and where all that hung together. As there is no evidence for god on any standard of proof I am aware of, he doesn't exist.

    The only claim I make is that in the absence of evidence there isn't anything there. The fact that it's applicable to god is more or less a side issue.

    Fucking hell, you spend most of your time here trying to prove countries don't exist, tax doesn't exist and government's don't exist...

    No, I spend most of my time asking for evidence that they do. None of which is ever forthcoming. THEN I say they don't exist cause everyone seems to be lacking that little thing called evidence.

    Same thing as the god trick. Somehow the burden of proof is on me when I am merely pointing out the facts, and in fact am asserting nothing, just refuting assertions.

    Isn't always doing the same thing but expecting a different response a definition of madness?

    Certainly is. Isn't defying the evidence of your own senses and seeing things that aren't there also a definition of madness?

    Besides, I do get different responses. :p

    Sorry I posted another answer and then went back to edit it.

    A wage slave is somebody who's livelihood is dependent on working. We are trapped often in dead end jobs, you do not feel like you have a lot of choices and often you are on stupidly low wages working for some fat cat. Wage slavery is alienation.

    The name says it all really.

    Probably because the only religion he has ever experienced is Christianity and even that he hasn't actually provided any evidence for understanding.

    Not at all.

    The only religion I have experienced is NONE.

    Because it's all made up gibberish that has nothing to do with the real world whatsoever.

    I have heard lots of differing kinds of nonsense and none of it has had any basis in facts whatsoever.

    May the great fluffy nef have mercy on your gilboon.

    When you die you will be reborn until you eventually come to that wonderful place drofflerville.

    Trade out the usual religious words and insert gibberish and you've got nothing. Trade out the word table for gibberish like "resorfem" and you can still use other words to decribe it. It has four legs, it has a flat surface, you eat dinner off it, etc etc.

    Do this with religious nonsense and you have to use other nonsense words to describe it in a loop that has nothing to do with anything.

    So if you trade out all the religious words you still can't say -

    It makes me feel better?
    It's something I believe in?
    It provides me support?

    That's a description of the effect of believing nonsense, not of the thing believed in.

    You can have all those things by believing really really hard in Santa Claus.

    He makes you excited, he makes you happy, he gives you something to look forward to. The fact that he doesn't even exist is the only flaw in the otherwise perfct circle.

    Certainly do, Jim V.

    They are given to me by other people. Do yours get delivered by a fat man down the chimney?

    Do you have any proof of that?

    I actually know a Santa (he normally works on the buses) so that's out. :D
