    I've heard these arguments before. They're nonsence espoused by people afraid to admit there are powers greater than rhemselves.

    Show me evidence of the so called "power" and I will believe in it.

    All the arguments that I've heard from theists that are supposed to show that a god exists are espoused by people too afraid to admit that there is nothing after death.

    A claim supported by reason.

    The evidence is all around you in God's creation. Where do you think everything around you came from? Where do you think you came from? God will reveal himself to you if you're willing to listen, but I doubt you are.

    I don't know where everything came from and I'm OK with that. You are so uncomfortable (and afraid?) of not knowing you have to believe in something there is no evidence for.

    You will realize that God is a delusion if you are willing to use your reason, but I doubt you are.

    No, it's not.

    Give me ONE reason to think that God is real.

    OK, you're OK with that go ahead. Where do you think your ability to reason came from? Why do you exist rather than not exist?

    I do know, God created time and space, the universe and the laws by which it functions. The very laws you depend on to try, feebly, to understand how it works.

    Revealed knowledge, a personal relationship with God.

    Revealed by God. You might be surprised by how many non-believers have come to God by personal revelation.

    How does anyone know anything? Evidence How do you know your belief in science isn't just in your mind?

    I haven't said anything about what I believe.

    You say "evidence", but then only list your own thoughts as the source.

    Yes, that's right. Are you doubting me, if so on what grounds?

    Every effect needs a cause. Believing in God is like believing in wind, when you see the leaves fluttering you know there is a breeze. When I see good changes in people that turn to God I know that God is real.

    Besides, Man does not do well when man is in charge.

    Why would i doubt that you believe something that you tell me you believe? I do not think you are a liar.

    All this didn't start on its own.
