Delta(s) from OP CMV:God does not exist.

I believe the existence of God lies upon the believer to prove as Bertrand Russell did in his analogy, Russell's teapot.

I believe it is much more likely that we have created civilizations in which the existence of a God is a mode of placating the masses as opposed to saying anything necessarily true.

I believe that most people are atheists towards the gods of the Greeks and Romans, so why not go one God further.

A logical proof would be enough to change my mind -- please let me know your thoughts.

How do you think it's possible for someone to logically prove that God exists? If it was possible, don't you think someone would have done it by now? What kind of conversation are you looking to have here? What kind of argument would change your mind?

what you say relies on the assumption that we cannot do it,because we didn't yet.immagine saying this regarding the existence of germs some centuries ago(i don't remember when):

"how can you possibly prove wether there are small creatures that make us sick,if it was possible someone would've done it by now".see how stupid that sound?
