Its stupid to claim there is no God

Its makes no sense whatsoever to claim there is no God. Infact, I think its stupid to claim there is no God, the only debate is whether or not the God of the Bible is true.
Heres some pretty amazing facts about the universe which make it not only evident but obvious that God exists, be sure to click continue at the bottom because theres still more pages:
Does God Exist?
Also check out Pascal's Wager:

It is stupid to claim that there is no god; it is also equally stupid to claim that their definitely is a god. Neither side has sufficient evidence to back up their argument or disprove the other, so both should shut up and respect each other's beliefs.

Premise 1. Whatever begins to exist must have a cause.

wrong assumption, we give events meaning there is no way to proof anyything has meaning.

You haven't even written a single post in a similar thread you made which was thoroughly stumped. Are you going to stick with this one?

Agreed. I also thought the creationism is true because I recently converted to Christianity logic is stupid as well.

It is stupid to claim that there is no God. Every scrap of "evidence" supporting God's nonexistence has turned on itself.

The fact is that there is only evidence (and a good number of it) supporting God's existence. Everyone who has tried to say that God does not exist has been argued down if they ever tried to argue agaisnt a theologain.

Your argument is logically fallacious. There isn't any such thing as evidence supporting non-existence. Contrarily, a lack of evidence points toward nonexistence. In the case of god(s), there is a severe lack of evidence. I am not arguing that a god doesn't exist, but you cannot logically and intelligently argue that a god does exist, either.

Hmmm. Interesting debate, with a rather unfounded premise. I am an atheist, not because I can prove there is no god(s),(no one can because it is impossible to prove a negative) but because there is no evidence for a god or gods. There is evidence however,that god is a man made idea, coming from the dawn of civilization, originally to try to explain things humans had not figured out about the natural world hence the gods being gods of thunder,rain etc. until somebody came up with the idea of a god who controlled everything, and so monotheism was born.The burden of proof lies on those who claim something/one exists. So until you prove that god exists, it is you who appears the greater fool.
