Has anyone ever disproved god to their parents here?
I'm not saying I would do it or not but if my dad trys to throw religion on me i wouldn't be afraid to subject him to truth but i also feel bad doing that since he is a bit older than me.
the process of again is enough to make me resent god though

yeah dude, for sure. your parents tend to believe lots of bullshit sources many times, even yours. if you're eloquent enough, i'm sure you'll leave em thinking about it. my parents are catholics and they know i'm kind of an atheist and they can see why.
your parents will listen to you once you reach a certain age, all you gotta do is be eloquent, be clear and fair and they might understand why.

No, if only because I can't. Can't prove his existence, can't disprove it either But more importantly: I don't need to. Why would I want to disprove the existence of the entity on which someone else bases his or her reason of existence? Live and let live.

Ah, nice one, Pris. Here's another one for you: if God is almighty, can He disprove his own existence?
It'd be the ultimate Houdini. Or Godini.

Atheists who go out of their way to convert Christians and other religious/spiritual people are every bit as bad...no, actually worse than the people who try to push their religions on others.
Religion and spirituality provides a lot of peace of mind for a lot of people, even though some take it way too far and "pass judgment" (murder) those who disagree with their beliefs.
I mean, how would you react if the thing that brings you the most comfort and sense of inner-peace was threatened or even taken from you?
Live and let live. Besides, atheism is every bit a spiritual statement as any other religion since, like everything else, it's usually an informed decision based on your own observations or your upbringing.
Instead of trying to fight anyone with any spiritual beliefs you should act like an adult and just have a non-hostile, philosophical conversation with your parents so both of you can understand the other better.

Word man. I definitely agree.
No reason to reign on someone's parade if they don't impose it on you. I think on earth is important.

Some good replies in this thread. OP I think about religious beliefs a lot. There seem to be so many dissenting philosophies and its so easy to get caught up in which is right, or on the more direct path to understanding reality, and which are just plain wrong.
I just try and connect with God through my mind, my heart, and through meditations throughout the day. When I feel connected to God, I am flooded with feelings that inspire me to accept and love others, and to share that love in a way that doesn't hurt anyone else. I am not inspired to pick up the Bible, or the Koran, or any other known set of beliefs, though if I was, so be it. The feelings simply come to me. If someone else is inspired in a different way, it is what the need at that time in their life. No need to argue. Just live connected with God, and that will be enough.

you can't prove anything, including, that you can't prove anything.
there can be no absolutes, which itself is not an absolute.
problem?
