    What information would it take to make you know that you are unconvinced?

    The burden of proof lies with the people making extraordinary claims.

    This is a common cop out amongst believers.

    They're the one making the claim and rather than provide sufficient evidence for their extraordinary claim they instead try to pass the burden on proof on to the people that are simply saying " I'm unconvinced about your fanciful idea".

    Do you actually believe anything you type?

    On a separate note.

    Exodus 21.

    It is ok to own a person as property?? How can anyone in this day and age believe in a god that advocated for slavery.?

    Yes and I can provide multiple examples that my typing as bad as it may be actually exists.

    There is no such thing as a god and religion is just someone’s guide to how you should lead your life.

    I see absolutely no reason to believe in god. But then again many people have many different ideas as to what god means.

    If it was dog and not god then it could be an acronym for delusions of grandeur.

    Thats 99% of our fan base according to the media!

    They've got it all covered haven't they?

    When you're at a school their comes a point where you question why there's more than one god? , but they're waiting for you to question this issue and reply by saying some people believe in this one, some people believe in that one and some people believe there's loads of them.

    I respect all religions and all who chose a religious path. No issues at all.

    On a personal level I used to go to Sunday school, excelled at RE at school and take a real key interest in the way religions are interwoven. For example Islam and Christianity share quite a few of the same 'characters' let's say.

    My personal belief is that there is no' god' per se, in that no single deity exists and that most religious scriptures are stories, some based on real people... some on made up people and nothing more.

    Religion can be a really good thing as it gives people comfort, hope and in some cases purpose so that can't be a bad thing at all surely?

    I do think a lot of things still go unexplained, but that doesn't mean we won't have the technology or skills to explain them one day...

    I just want to know what happens when you die? Like literally what happens to your mind!

    I'd love to believe we all ascend to an astral plain or something but we just die. The end.
