If I can contemplate God hypothetically, why can't you contemplate no God?

Let´s contemplate no God:\nGod does not exist, so the universe is only a random and everlasting energy and matter transforming process, we are a tiny piece of matter which exist only because of a random event and we are only waiting for another random event to stop existing ( I meant: to transform into another thing ), then the universe and us have no goal or reason to exist.\n\nI don't like it.......God forbid!

You are free to think and believe what you like, as long as you don't go on and on and on and on and on about god and bore everyone within earshot. Get real and realise that there is no god. You are going to have to cope with life and death all on your own. It's really not that difficult if you have any intelligence. Do you?

Absence of proof is not proof of absence.  \n\nHowever, it is the logical (or I should say illogical) fallacy "argument from ignorance" that because there is no evidence that God exists, that is evidence that God does not exist.   \n\nIt is also logical fallacy of "negative proof," that God must exist because there is no proof that God does not exist.  Why do you think God exists.  Why do you think God doesn't exist?    \n\n"The burden of proof should be on the proposed idea, not the challenger of the idea."  The challenger must only raise an issue of doubt, whereas the proposer must carry the burden of persuasion.  \n\nWhat can be more "honest," "practical," "intelligent," than LOGIC?\n\nAnother point, it is beliefs we are talking about, which are devloped best from the weight of the evidence in a world that seldom presents absolute proof.  Provocative question!  Thanks for keeping me up all night with this non-sense!

LOL I like Mainworry's answer...not!\nCreate anything living without using matter that already exists.\nHe's right, I can't we all can't.... yet!\nBut maybe we will Create matter, out of energy one day.\nThen what will he say.\nBut I know something I can create right now...GOD.\nYes I can create GOD In my own image.

Imagining the world with no hypothetical situations is a hypothetical situation itself.  It's an impossible paradox.

Good question. I actually thought about this one before. What I realized is that it is impossible. If you are thinking of nothing you are still thinking of something which is thinking of nothing. See it goes around in a loop. The human mind is always "working". The only way to think of nothing is to be dead or in a really deep meditation (even that is impossible).

None actually, but having no proof on the other side, by grace of the Occam´s razor I would choose the simplest hypothesis: no god.

Easy, he can't.\n\nBut that is not too difficult to see once you realize that there is no God in the first place.\n\nThere are other contradictions as well. For example, God is supposed to be omniscient (all-knowing) as well as omnipotent. So if He knows everything He knows the future. So He knows what He will do in the future. So how can He be omnipotent if He can't do something other than what He knows He will do. He is not powerful enough to overcome His own foreknowledge.\n\nGod is supposed to be omnibenevolent, all-loving (in my opinion the weakest of all Christian characterizations of God). If so, God is not powerful enough to control His own emotions. He can't "not love" something.

I'm agnostic, myself. But if God does exist, it doesn't seem like there's much he won't allow to happen. Whether or not he favors the idea would probably be a better question. And to answer that one...I don't know. I can't know. And neither can anyone else here, regardless of what they may tell you.\n\nn4mwd: You seem pretty arrogant, for someone who has no idea what he's talking about. How does spelling God incorrectly...no, not even spelling it incorrectly, just not capitalizing it, equate to not believing in God? That is complete and utter nonsense. And I have no idea whether or not the soul exists, or what it is, but identical twins are not clones.

Imagine if Mary never opened the tomb.\n\nWe would stand outside the tomb today, and argue with EQUAL PROBABILITY whether or not God exists.\n\nNow THAT would be a religious debate worth having.

I hope you are not implying from your question this wrong thinking:"if you don't understand something, then it must not exist". If that is so, then I probably do not have brains because I don't know why I am able to think. Too, I haven't seen my brain.\n\nBut, if your question is an innocently honest one, then here are my humble answers in the form of questions for you to think about:\n(a) can you tell me the beginning and the end of a circle?\n(b) can you tell me the beginning and the end of the universe?\n(c) can you tell me the beginning and the end of time?\n\nAccording to the Bible, God's creations reflect His glory. So, if you can not answer any of the above, then it is also too hard for us to answer your question. Did you get the point?\n\nBest regards,

I agree that such an explanation is one possibility.  In fact, my failure to fully comprehend the Big Bang in a purely scientific manner is the only reason why I am an agnostic, and not an athiest.  I feel that I need to allow for the possibility.

Sigh...this is the sort of thing that makes me twitch.  Okay, here goes:\n\nAn atheist believes that there is a logical contradiction inherent in the idea of a/the God.  Because it is otherwise impossible to prove that something doesn't exist (for example, try to prove that there is now or never was any such thing as a unicorn), atheists hold that the idea of God is logically impossible.  Atheism is usually opposed to the traditional omniscient, omnipotent, omnibenevolent God of monotheists.  In other words, atheists find it impossible to believe that a being can be all-knowing, all-powerful and all good at the same time.  They usually cite something like the problem of pain.  (If God is all-good and all-powerful, how can He let bad things happen?)\n\nI realize that there are atheists that are complete materialists and reject the idea of anything that can't be perceived through the senses.  However, usual usage of the term "atheist" is one who doesn't believe in the Christian/Muslim/Jewish God.  (Let's be honest:  how often do you see atheists and Hindus duking it out?)\n\nAs for agnostics, there are two kinds:  1) those who think that it is impossible to know if God exists and 2) those who think it is possible, but aren't convinced one way or the other.\n\nHere is an example to clarify.  You're walking down the road, and a big light from the sky suddenly shines on you.  You hear your name and are told to repent.  Would you acknowledge the possibility that you had just witnessed a miracle, or would you immediately assume that you've done one too many acid trips?\n\nThe 2) kind of agnostic would believe that it is possible and that it might even be the proof they were looking for.  The 1) kind of agnostic would lay off the drugs for a while; he doesn't believe that a God, even if He/She/It exists, can interfere in such a way in human affairs.\n\nI realize that this might not be the simple answer you were looking for.\n\nThe quick answer is that atheists say no and that agnostics say maybe.\n\nSome agnostics are convinceable, and some are not.

I dunno.  Why don't you ask the god in question yourself?

You can't say God doesn't exist. If you are saying his name, he is there.

Relax.  Just accept that fact that there is no god outside of yourself.  Go outside and breath the air for a while and stop thinking so hard on this stuff.  Sometimes you have to clear your mind to let the answers come.  There is no god punishing you, that is a myth.
