[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did not want to get bogged down in theological arguments of particular religions.  I will repeat what, I think, G.K. Chesterton said:  very few people hate Christianity, but a great many people hate what they think is Christianity.  There are some misconceptions cropping up here, but I want to stay on track:

Many people say there is no evidence there is God, but do not explain what that means.  Could you elaborate?[/quote]

I think theological arguments of particular religions are intertwined with your original inquiry - if you think that certain practices are acceptable under certain religions, of course you won't want to believe in God.  What kind of God would allow women to be subjugated/gays to be persecuted?  I don't think the two are easily separated.  For some people, these theoretical arguments about "proving" the existence of god are determinative.  Others look around at what "Christians" and "Muslims" are doing and think that any belief system that those people are following has to be a farce, because those people are crazy.  "I don't believe in God because no God would set humans upon each other like dogs."[/quote]
