It does have bearing on the OP. I was preemptively getting these most often used arguments out of the way in hopes that people would come up with some real ones. Obviously that didn't happen.

How is it disrespectful? And it is very necessary around here.

lol, the fallacious arguments that I used are probably the most common around here. That's why I spent the time on them that I did so I did not have to chase down 20 posts going over it.

What????

We have 0 threads about this. Do you even understand what the OP is about?

Yes, the convert statement was a little tongue and cheek, sue me.

This thread existed to give atheists the opportunity to lay out why the believe the God of the bible must not exist, instead of the blind assertions that are thrown around so often. Of course surprise surprise, no one actually showed up with an argument.

Now why don't you get off your high horse and maybe address the OP.

Well, I don't think there are many atheists who believe that the God of the bible must not exist. Now: change the OP to: "Maybe God exists, but the Christian version of god is improbable" and you'll get some better responses.

God being whatever created the Universe and us. Maybe God has no personality and is just pure energy or randomness, but to say there is no God (i.e. answer/explanation for life) is almost exactly like blindly believing religion.

There is a true definition but neither the atheists nor the religious seem to know it. Worse, they mostly think it's impossible.

Ok dude perhaps I was being a little harsh. This forum encourages anger if you take it too seriously.

To you.

no problem, this forum can get to you if you are not careful.

For the record, this thread is not about whether or not God exists per se, but what is the reasoning or logic behind the claims that the christian God has already been falsified in certain peoples minds. It was a chance for atheists to give there proofs against the God revealed in the bible. (and I use proof in a scientific way, not that I think there is absolute proofs of anything)

As I suspect you well know, a negative cannot be proven.

As for the evidence against the Christian bible revealed God. One has to reverse the claim to be able to evaluate.

Is there evidence FOR the Christian bible revealed God. I would contend (and I suspect those not Christian agree with me) that there is not.
1) There is nothing inherent in the bible that is indicative of the supernatural. Stories are just that, stories. There is nothing inherent in the stories of Grimm that is indicative of the supernatural either(even when the stories concern the supernatural!), as a comparison. They are stories of man.
2) There is nothing inherent in the Christian faith that is indicative of the supernatural. All I see is people doing things people do.
3) Prayers to the Christian God do not come true more than prayers to other gods, or not praying at all, afaik this is shown by a number of prayer studies (I may be wrong).
4) There is no indication of the afterlife, as told by the bible, being a real concept.

I would love for your opposition on all points.

Obvioulsy, there is no way to PROVE that an all-powerful God exists or not. If he is all-powerful, he could just make it look like he didnt exist if he wanted. This argument is always debated but can never be solved. We are trying to put a square peg in a round hole. You ust believe what u want and ill do the same. we can all try to convince each other and thats entertainig, but why anyone would get so worked up about it mystifies me. I certainly dont need you to validate my beliefs for me, and you shouldnt need me to validate yours. UNLESS one of us really doubts our own beliefs. I tend to give more credit to a reasoned calm post on here tat intelignetly discusses the subject rather than the "you idiot...blah blha blah" posts.

Bottom line, you cant prove or disprove it.

I have heard people argue that those "days" aren't 24 hour days, but longer periods of time, and that present time is the 7th day, the day of rest.
