TomK - I think there is no god because there is no evidence that shows one exists.
"Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" - Carl Sagan
You might want to go back and read his books and notice how careful Sagan was with his language to avoid making claims he could not support or prove.
TomK - Do I also need to prove that the Loch Ness Monster doesn't exist?
If you claim it doesn't exist, then you would need to prove that claim. Maybe best to just say you don't know if it does or does not exist as that seems to be the truth.
You might want to spend some time and think about MyManao's post and try to answer why you insist on making claims you can't support or prove, going on and on "for reams and reams of posts.. ad nauseam. Why?" The Why part seems particularly interesting as to coming to an understanding of why people might choose to believe the things they do and the roles those beliefs play in their lives.
