[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If an omnipotent god existed and could do the crazy things in the bible - like impregnate a child - there would be countless examples of these unexplained "miracles". Those supernatural powers would manifest in some way in the real world.

Spoiler: they don't.

Gods are just ways people explain things they don't understand. A mental coping system.

Stating your opinion why people believe something is not the same as proving the belief is false.

This is called a genetic fallacy when misused: dismissing a belief solely based on its origin rather than its truth value.

Your statement does not logically prove God doesn’t exist, religious belief is irrational, and that belief and reason are mutually exclusive.

That’s one explanation for belief. It’s not the only one, and not whether the belief is true.

DP - The statement PP makes shows god is logically unlikely.  Combined with the fact that there is entirely insufficient evidence of the existence of one leads to the conclusion that one should not believe in one.

What you did is "strawman" - rebutting the claims "this proves god doesn't exist" or "god doesn't exist".  That was dishonest.  PP said neither, and made neither claim.[/quote]
