Can there be a proof of God?

No man is an island.

Putting you on ignore. Enough with your insane blathering.

[Taichiliberal]

I do not think so.

All proofs of God presuppose you already believe.

Well, if you wake up in the morning, I figure that there's something going on that science can't explain. At that point, I ain't gonna look a gift horse in the mouth.

If there were a proof of God, then you would no longer truly have free will. With God's existence proved, you either comply with God's commandments--God is usually considered omnipotent--or you are punished accordingly. For example, if God is proven and has stated "Obey my commandments or I will strike you dead..." then you really don't get much choice--other than one time--to disobey.

like this?....
why don't you have faith?

Because it requires circular logic

why do you think it requires any logic at all?

Because I don't have faith

What other important belief would you base on faith instead of logic?

I guess we've just confirmed you haven't understood what circular reasoning meant all this time....

That's certainly not my conclusion, but that's OK.
Be as religious as makes you happy. Just keep your faith away from the laws of my land. It doesn't belong there.

when have we tried to make faith the law of the land.......just because we object to letting your ignorance being the law of land?......

While Russia's rootin' tootin' Putin's relentless attacks on Ukraine with Russian Orthodox Church are praised by Krill; there's still ongoing some 60 + years of SCOTUS Christian Nation malfeasance for it's Federal Lynching KKK churchstate of hate fiefdom perpetual thieving US old glorys presented by Eisenhower arsonists blessed by "serve the Pope or die" thieving US Constitution arsonists interpretation of "one nation under God with equal justice under law".

Depends on how you define god, but to me, there is clear proof in the existence of life, but I believe in a more generalized God than most.

[BidenPresident]

I do not know what you mean.

[BidenPresident]

Why is free will important?

We know we exist. That does need proof.

For one thing, your immoral misogynist views are being imposed as the law of the land.
Fundamentalist Christian Republicans are almost without exception malignant tumors on the population when they become politically active.
I cannot express the profundity of my disrespect for them in mere language.

No. There's zero evidence of anything beyond the physical universe or magic.
