Republicans rally against 'war on religious freedom'

As someone said to me near the end of my lengthy athiestic phase - Christ came to take away our sins, not our minds.

It's cute, trying to make me feel bad like I'm some religious extremist. Keep trying buddy.

I'm not trying to make you feel bad, I am just pointing out the desirability of the existence you described. Infinite existence with infinite happiness doesn't sound too appealing...maybe you can enlighten me as to why it is and should be?

Lemme guess... Atheist?

No, that would require that I be able to disprove the existence of god. For all we know we are all in the Matrix, an RPG, or someone's mind.

Well good, because you're not making me feel bad. My feelings on the subject are mine alone, and I'm not trying to force you to understand the reasoning behind it. And tbh, I don't feel like trying to make you understand my reasoning. Long story short, it's not happening lol.

Whatever makes you feel good...May the gods bless you, your friends and your family with eternal happiness.

Thank you, and I hope whatever your vision for heaven works out for you too. :)

No, it does not. It's up to the person making the claim to post proof. Extraordinary claims will, of course, require extraordinary proof.

Atheists are saying we don't believe the claims that there is a god or gods.

I can claim the Sun is god and there it is giving us rays of light that keeps life going on this planet.

If you are going to put the burden of proof on believers to prove that god exists then you might want to also put similar burden on atheist on their extraordinary claim that we came from nothing. Atheist often ignore the implication of their claims out of convenience.

When you are dealing with god, existence and the universe it's difficult to be certain.

Nicely put saden1.

Either the first sub-atomic particle came from nothing or there was a pre-existing "creator" that caused it to come into existence. Either way, to me at least, it's mind boggling.

If you believe either to be an equally likely possibility RR, then I concede no proof is required on your part. However, if you assert one as more likely than the other, I would ask your basis for that belief.
