But never reports of people seeing Buddha or Mohammed or other so calked Gods. Interesting.

Lets' say God is real. Before judgment you've lived your life as a non-believing self proclaiming "atheist". You believe that there is no God .He sends you to a place where he doesn't exist, Wouldn't he only be giving you what you wanted anyway?

Its only fair.

Technically speaking isn't science just MAN's way of explaining what God has already done for the sake of mans own understanding which gives him comfort in the known? As opposed to being in the unknown which history has shown man is terrified of. Hence man created science to eliminate fear of the unknown?

Why would you come to Yahoo answers? You must consult with knowledgeable individuals and that you will not find here. Having common sense enough not to come to a cest pool of atheist and unbelievers is the beginning of wisdom. So please in the future, have the decency to be serious about your questions and don't ask them here. Let the Atheist do their soul searching, but the untainted let them seek wisdom from the tree of life.

That gets people rowed up?

If he is just a man after all, why all the controversy? Why all the hate? Why all the love?

I mean, he is just a man after all .......right atheist?

Noone makes a commotion about Krishna

Noone makes a commotion when the name of Mohammed is mentioned

Noone makes a commotion about any other "deity"

Once the name of Jesus is mentioned, You either reject it or accept it.

Interesting. All about a mere man....right?\

Anyone who mentions religion knows nothing about the bible

Jesus did not care for Religion or Religious people.

Give me educated responses please.

The bible is over 2000 years old, this could both qaulify as archaeological manifestation of your so called "tangible" proof. But what if, just what if tangible proof is not how God wanted you to believe in him. It is easy to believe in something when it is in front of you. If there is a dog in front of me, I can try and trick my mind that the dog is not there but every sense in my body, I can see him, I can smell him, I can hear his pant, all these indications tell me that the Dog is there. It takes no amount of faith or believing to know that the dog is there. What if God is beyond tangible means? What if he wants you to use Faith instead of tangible means to experience him? He must think of you as a more intelligent being than only being able to communicate in the literal sense. Hence, those who need proof are unwise? Is God saying youre smarter than only being able to believe by tangible means.

2000 years is a long time for people to lie about someone having lived.

More importantly, if Jesus was not a divine individual then wouldn't that fact be apparent somewhere in that 2000 year period? Wouldn't someone have uncovered the truth about Jesus's deity by now? 2000 years is a while to investigate. Why has the bible lasted for century upon century if it is the "lie" that you claim? Are you implying that mankind is ignorant, if that was true mankind would knowingly accept a lie and live by it and create docterine around it. The possibility of this is slim to nothing given the history of docterine and practice that have come and faded into existence. Surely there is some type of divine inspiration and protection around the deity of Jesus and of the Bible. To ignore it is knowingly believing a lie. Jesus is God and he did and still does exist. It cost you nothing to believe in Jesus, but it cost you everything not to believe in him.

There is more proof for the existence of Jesus, than against. Just sayin

Would be trying to find a Christian for answers? Im going to go with all of them.

Atheist Sure think a lot about something that doesn't exist

Atheism is an absolute negative that “there is no God". No one can say for sure that there is no God. To affirm an absolute negative is self-defeating; I would have to have infinite knowledge in order to do this. Atheism as a system is self-defeating. I take the following quote from Charles Darwin, a self-proclaimed agnostic, “I have never been an atheist in the sense of denying the existence of a God.” (Letter to Rev. J. Fordyc, July 7, 1879)

First, God cannot be proven according to our standards, there cannot be physical, testable evidence, because God is not physical, and He is above our finite knowledge. Further, there is not one example in the physical universe of a physical quality that explains its own existence. No physical quantity explains its own existence and no amount of time can consume an infinite series of events to bring you to the present. All of these somewhere had to be explained by one self-existent cause which is not physical; because a physical quantity cannot explain its own existence. Second, God cannot be defined. Yes, we can know some of His qualities and His attributes (holiness, justice, mercy, love, etc…), but He cannot be defined by our human standards.

As taken from Adam Smith blog

Richard Dawkins says, “We cannot, of course, disprove God, just as we can’t disprove Thor, fairies, and leprechauns. But, like those other fantasies that we can’t disprove, we can say that God is very very improbable.” So while that is flawed, even he realizes that atheism cannot be possible by its definition.

All men (people) know that they have sinned and they know that there is a judgment day coming. They may deny it, they may mock it, they may even try to explain it away, but they know that there is coming a day when every man (person) will stand before a Holy God – it is a reality. Atheism does not exist. Period.

A lot of you will try and use logic to disprove this but thats the thing, your logic is self defeating, God created it that way, theres no amount of thinking you can do to make him disappear, you can try and fool yourself into thinking that youre not typing on a computer and eventually your brain will trick the body into believing that but it wont make the computer not exist, only in your mind and that computer if it overheats can cause a fire and still destroy your house whether you believe it is there or not. You can say that "well I just dont care" Well no, you don't and thats because youve desensitized yourself to the creator and all that he has created. You may not care now but there will come a time where you will not have a choice but to care because it will depend on your very fate. A very REAL fate.

Now, is there not one brave enough to apply an intelligent response?

In order to be an Atheist you would have to be all knowing, which none of you are, so Agnostic is your title....

You can not prove that God does or does not exist, you do not know. This is why Atheism is an utterly ridiculous claim that only further proves your lack of reasoning by your own self proclamation that you "know all" . Does this make you your own God? If it does then why dont YOU stop the wars? Why dont YOU cure world hunger? Why dont YOU stop murder?

Go, Cower behind your own solace

Thomas Edison said it best "We dont know a millionth of 1% of anything."

What would be the point?

You would then know how powerful God is and you would no longer possess Free Will. God is so powerful that if you were to look upon his face you would die. (Exodus 33:20) , What kind of point would it prove for God to reveal himself to you and let you know that he exist? You would tremble at the thought of Gods wrath and not obey his will because you want to but only because you fear his wrath and thats not what God's intention is. His intention is to have created a being in which can love him back without him even forcing you to do so. I think when an atheist chooses to love God on their own, these are the things that make God get out of his throne and smile upon his creation.

Agnostics. No?

Catholicism?

Mormonism?

Jehovah Witness?

Note: Atheist, I get it, you think all are a crock so this isnt for you.

Once again if you are not, there is no need to write anything other than 'no"
