    Magic isn't real. If it were real, why would people only use it to entertain people?

    There are thousands of different religions out there. Likewise, there are millions of Gods. In every culture you find stories similar to those found in the Bible. Take a look at how man progressed through time, and who was the popular "God" at the time.

    Primitive man worshiped nature (planets, animals, rocks, rain, water, and most importantly, the sun) because his understanding of the natural world was non-existent. As man's knowledge about the natural world grew, he no longer needed mystical figures to explain the natural phenomenon he saw daily. But there was still a lot that could not explain, which is why multiple Gods were eventually replaced with one all seeing, invisible God along with a cast and crew of invisible angels and demons accompanied by extreme prejudice towards outsiders.

    Modern man, with his faith in science, has proven that the concept of God, as we know it, cannot exist in our Universe. God might exist, but it won't be any of the Gods from the world's theistic religions.

      This is why I go with science. Personally, I think ignoring science and logical thinking is like ignoring what is most likely true.
      I knew this was coming. I just knew it. But somehow, I didn't stop, because maybe I expected someone would stop me first.

        I think that about the only problem with religion is the fact that the devout forget that it's a matter of faith and nothing more.

                there is "The Bible" for Christians there is the "Qur'an" for Muslims, and there is the "Torah" for the Jewish. They all refer to there being the "one God,"
                I guess your cousin has never really read the Bible.

                  There's an invisible pink unicorn sitting RIGHT beside you. There's a blue elephant oribiting Jupiter.

                  You're saying, there's a possibility that these things might be real? Because that's ****ing hilarious.. and stupid.
                  Well, this is why you can't prove or disprove the existance of God, which is why God is also incredibly stupid 8)

                  The only difference between the blue elephant orbiting jupiter and God is that you have a few billion people that believe in God and we made some scribbles that we try to attribute to it.

                    Re: God.

                    Except that God and those working through God also have various works attributed to them as well, whereas the elephant does not. Also, if you talk to even a passable Christian Apologist, they will present all -kinds- of perfectly non-faith based evidence to argue for the existance of God, whereas I'd be curious to see someone try to defend the existance of the elephant in any kind of reasonable way.

                      Also, a divine power is used as an explanation of the unexplainable. If they couldn't find an answer through simple science, it was a work of God. I'd like to see what purpose an elephant trapped in orbit will do.

                            Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels.

                              I could easily fabricate an elephant bible among other things. The elephant might not currently have these things but I don't see why it couldn't.

                              Also, Non faith based evidence? Like what? There is no 'evidence' for God. You can't provide evidence for something that is supernatural. Give me some examples of this evidence so I can see what you're talking about.

                              All of the exact same 'evidences' used to try to defend god could be applied directly to the elephant assuming I went ahead and said that the elephant has supernatural powers.

                              Also, a divine power is used as an explanation of the unexplainable. If they couldn't find an answer through simple science, it was a work of God. I'd like to see what purpose an elephant trapped in orbit will do.
                              I could easily use the elephant to serve the same purpose as God.

                              This is the whole point, for example, of the flying spaghetti monster. You can insert anything you want to serve the exact same purpose (hence why we have so many different religions >_>).
