How Can You Convince Atheists/agnostics That Your God Exist by Workch: 8:58am On Dec 01, 2022
You cannot prove a negative. Example: Can you prove dayglow orange wombats with purple mohawks don't exist? Have you looked on EVERY planet in the universe? Every cave? Every burrow? Every zoo? Every private collection? See how impossible that is?

But you CAN prove they DO exist…with one simple picture or testable example.

This is why we cannot prove gods don't exist. But we can prove gods DO exist by providing evidence. So where is the evidence?

It's safe to say they don't exist or not believe they exist until evidence is provided indicating otherwise.

Why must I prove to another person God exists? If after looking at the whole creation, a person is still convinced there is no God, their choice should be respected no matter how stupid it sounds.

But you are convinced that no one created god right?

How can god exist by himself without a creator as well?

Why do you think that a healthy debate about how things work is all about ego?
Are you suffering from cognitive dissonance?

There is nothing healthy about this debate and people hardly change, they either seek reinforcers of their views or feed their ego.

Again, I said only a stupid person sees the intricacies of creation and says there's no God or source of creation. In case you missed it the first time.

God gave his laws to all of humanity..

The Jewish version is called the Torah..

God's laws are universal..

Your god has to be the most confusing god on Nairaland. Your god is simultaneously the universe, a garment worn by Marduk, a male humanoid who gives instructions on mountains, and a lawgiver who produced Jewish beliefs.

We can not even convince them to buy a Camry or a Chair or a Wife or even to vote Peter Obi that they see is it now He Who is Mightier than us Whom we can not see at will?

Is it even necessary to convince you people?

No one forces a person to choose a good thing!

Come to think of it, it is always the bad things which people are forced to use eg formal school, ATM, phones, money etc

Simple! It does not matter. You can never know exactly like your mannequin can wonder till it enters fire why you, it's maker, is not made of plastic or manufactured from a factory like him.

This is where our knowledge ends and it can never get past this Wall.

And the most important Truth is That God is The Boss.

Lol, nobody is stumbling and falling. I'm empathetic to their view because we're all 2 sides of a coin. Despite our different views, none of us have God in our personal experience but we choose to believe why they don't.

Their views naturally are just the result of the educational system which is based on empiricism-Seeing to believe.

Okay!

We are not on the same coin, they are elsewhere.

I see them falling down a lot until they get to the point where they are tired of getting up. Then something comes to crush them as they are lying down grin what a way to live and die! grin anyway, their problem. grin

However, we all have seen that some people see, yet they do not see else they wouldn't have fallen for that prostitute or dealt with that criminal. grin

Always changing the argument.

Create is not Rule.

And God is about Rule. A King is about Rule.

I've told you before that rulership is not always singular. Even today, we have situations that are presided over by councils, rather than a single person.

Rulership can of course be singular. But it doesn't always have to be.

Confused agnostic
We have not seen the Creator God
But from the things made, we can conclude that he exists

For example, at a time, people never knew about what causes diseases but the use of lens and microscope helped them to see that microorganisms are the causes of some diseases
There are also tools or instruments that helped us know we have clusters, galaxies, atoms, we are still discovering things

Humans want to see God in order to believe he exists. Let them go and invent such instruments na. They are awed by his creative works but instead of acknowledging God, they acknowledge 'mother nature's.
Let them first come to convince that there is no Creator God.
They themselves know it is foolish to believe that something does not exist simply because we can't see it, hear it or measure it. God is not wind, air, temperature or gravity or time or space.
They can't measure the beginning of time or space. The concept is too wonderful to contemplate. How much more the Creator?

Is life and the universe the work of a Creator or they came by Chance?

You seem to be making a false equivocation here. Being the ruler or "president" of a council doesn't imply complete control over the council like that of a king would imply.

A king has sole authority over every aspect of his kingdom. Whatever he says, stands. He can fire, hire, and change anyone. He calls the final shots on what goes on in every aspect of the kingdom.

I'll give a simple example. The EU parliament. Even though the parliament has a president, this president cannot decide by themselves, what goes on in each of the individual member states. Neither can they single-handedly make decisions without the agreement of all individual member states.

Another example is the house of congress (US), or similarly the senate here in Nigeria. By virtue of the system in place, not even the president of the country can fire the individuals in these councils. And also, the president of these councils cannot make independent decisions, without the approval of other council members.

I gave you two examples to (hopefully and clearly) illustrate my point. That rulership is NOT always singular. There are different systems of power distribution that exist in our world today. It is not always a king-kingdom situation.
