So that's it for the election.

Agnosticism FTW

The validity of the existence of god is untestable, therefore I won't take a position on it.

Everyone else (theists and atheists equally) are under operating under a shared delusion.

That's right. I'm throwing 99.99% of all people into the crazy bin.

You realize it's the same delusion that you're under right? The basis for atheism is the fact that we cannot test for his existence, therefore he isn't there.

No, I do not realize that. Please explain.

Right, that's a logical leap and therefore invalid.

The validity of god. How is logic invalid? It's logical to believe that when turn a light on by it's switch that it will turn on unless the light bulb is burnt out. However, imo it's pretty easy whether or not to tell if there is or isn't a god simply by praying for the most unselfish thing possible. Religion in god was built as a control mechanism to get everyone to cooperate. The validity of god may not be fully testable in the "does he exist or doesn't he" But there is some major reasoning behind why he doesn't exist.

Your gradeschool conception of the possibility of a god needs to graduate bro. Go take some mushrooms and expand your mind.

It's actually grad school. If the conversation is getting too tough for you, you may as well bow out or look more like an idiot trying to insult someone whose actually trying to have a conversation. Do yourself a favor and grow up out of your pre-teen ways.

#1 you can't just slightly change up my insult and then use it on me, that's against the clowning rules bro.
#2 you JUST SAID that you can disprove the existence of god with unanswered prayers. If -that- is your level of intellectual rigor, I guess I'd better give up on getting on your level, coz it's just never gonna happen.

I don't believe that I said I could disprove the existence of god. I can only make reasoning against his existence. The only logical reasoning behind god not intervening in the world's problems would be "free will." So instead of trying to prove/disprove that there is a god, we should be looking at proving/disproving that there is a devil who doesn't care about free will it all.

Right now, I suspect there are many people voting for Obama's re-election. I suspect there are at least as many people voting for Romney's election. What is a loving and merciful God to do?

Sorry, it's not a paradox, it's a joke. We get this unbelievable nightmare of free will, complete with manipulation and corruption.
