Correct.  It requires verification by other unrelated sources, as many
as possible.

They are numerous, agree in detail, are by a variety of people from
both his supporters and his enemies, and the people involved had no
agenda to support.

>
>Or Jesus Christ?

No evidence he ever existed, one single source commonly used that is
not independently verified anywhere, the exact author or authors are
unknown (or at least unverified), are hardly independent, all support
the statements and claims made, and definitely have an agenda to
support.  Not to mention being translated numerous times into various
other languages and having been edited as to content to insure
conformity.


A total failure in every respect.  There is as much support for the
existence of the Tooth Fairy.

is fine with me, but the truth is if you want to believe in this god

is, to you and every other theist, holds true.  so you go on

Except I don't. I only worship the God of living. I don't worship the 
God of killing. That's a different God.

  Death is known to exist, unlike gods. Your argument fails.

  By definition, gods are things to be believed in because they can't be proven to exist. That is not the case for, say, stamp collecting because stamps can be proven to exist.

They don't.  God calls us to live the good life and that means to love and obey
him and love your neighbor as yourself.

That's what it's all about.  Fail and it's the flames for you - the wheat hulls
burned while the good wheat is stored.

  Probably true, unless he lives in mommy's basement like some posters here obviously do.

  How is the god of the Abrahamic traditions a "purpose"?

  How are the gods of all of the world's religious traditions "purposes"?

For example, anyone who doesn't have a purpose in life, for which
they live their life.  (Unless, as I noted in another posting,
you're counting "continue to exist" as a purpose.)

You're the one who made the claim; the burden of proof in upon you.

Living itself is a purpose. And it is a great purpose. It is to worship 
the God of living.

No, I didn't. It was you. You were the one who claimed a human can exist 
without a purpose in life. That's why I asked you to give me an example. 
You haven't been able to so far.

Well I guess if you're going to anthropomorphize -- excuse me,
deus-morphize -- _any_ concept, then yes, any concept is a God of
something.  That gets us rather deep into "so what?" territory though.

However, *prior to that* you claimed it couldn't.  Ergo, burden of
proof on you.

Hmm.  Anybody who ever committed suicide[1]?

No wait, then you're going to say that their purpose in life was to
not exist, aren't you?

-----------
 *1: Excluding, I suppose, those for whom it was self-sacrifice,
     e.g., a soldier throwing himself on a grenade to save his
     fellows.

Theomorphize.  "Deus" is Latin, while "anthropo-," "theo-," and
"morph" are Greek.
