I find it funny that God literally walked the earth 2,000 years ago, performing miracles, raising the dead, calming stormy seas, walking on water, coming back from the dead, and ascending into heaven, and people didn't believe their own eyes and ears back then.
But today people ask for the same thing God already did 2,000 years ago and say they will believe in Him.
People believe what they want to believe, not what the facts show, when it comes to religion.
Just because God doesn't agree with their tiny little box for what God should be, they claim he doesn't exist.
Can you see how anything can be any more stupid than that? Imagine telling people Abraham Lincoln never existed because he threw people into prison and had people executed while claiming everyone had rights. Would anyone take you seriously?
Imagine saying Julius Caesar never existed because the Roman Empire had pedophilic government officials in it. Would anyone take you seriously?
But, suddenly, it all changes when someone says "God." Then we can completely throw out historical evidence, eyewitness testimonies, empirical analysis of the star patterns, and more because of pedophiles and bad things happening to people.
How stupid. Nobody in North Korea says Kim Jong Un doesn't exist because there is suffering in North Korea. It's because even the brainwashed members of the populace in North Korea, most of whom have never actually seen Kim Jong Un in person, knows better than to think that.
But with God suddenly the standards of evidence and goalposts completely shift. Secular historical accounts now become fabrications. The gospel accounts become people, who largely died broke, hated, and in some cases were tortured, "doing it for money and fame," and any miracle that happens today is instantly discredited because "muh science."
Science can't even answer if we have a soul or not but you think it is conclusive on whether a person raised from the dead?
Even moreso, whenever you isolate one of thse anti-God thinkers and give them a bona fide, science-defying, miracle, they claim it HAS to be ANYTHING else. Even if it is unexplainable. They assert science will magically figure out why it can't possibly be an answered prayer. Why? Why can't it be an answered prayer? He was dead before the prayer. Now he's alive after the prayer. He was in a wheelchair before the prayer, now he can walk perfectly fine after the prayer. The doctor scans show this. Why can't it be a miracle? It seems pretty simple to me. Prayer --> miracle. SOMETHING HAD TO DO THE MIRACLE. People don't just magically regain the ability to walk after being in a wheelchair for years through sheer willpower. Therefore God.
But you'll never get one of these people to admit they're doing this. They'll fight you on everything. They'll claim "it's different. My sources are objective. Historians don't lie." Even though historians in the Roman Empire were literally working night and day to revise history just like our historians do today. And even though the people literally worshipped the Roman Emperor as a god, and even though the people writing the gospel accounts had NOTHING AT ALL PHYSICAL TO GAIN from it. You know, "only my source is true." Yours must be rejected for whatever insane, illogical reason I make up today. Certainly not because of any actual evidence of any kind.
So, when they realize they have nothing left, they use "evolution." A theory invented by a man with a grudge against the Catholic Church that has yet to have been replicated successfully in any lab test and, in fact, faces the problem of numerous experiments being unable to falsify it. But, you know, it just HAS to be a better explanation than God. It HAS to be. Evolution is FACT. Even though we can't prove it. Even though no lab test has successfully replicated it. Even though 99% of scientists can't even agree on how it works. That HAS to be the truth. It can't POSSIBLY be something so straightforward, logical, and easy to grasp as God.
Why? Because of circular reasoning. Their whole argument boils down to "God doesn't exist because God doesn't exist."
Any and all credible evidence to the contrary is immediately thrown out because it doesn't fit into their circular logic.
They suddenly become the judge, executioner, and jury. They get to define who God is, what evidence is allowed to be put forward, and whether it is believable enough based arbitrarily on their feelings.
Even though, for LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE ON THE PLANET, this isn't how logic or reason works. It magically works for debating the existence of God.
And then these people have the gall to say they are too "rational" for religion.
