God exists

what the mystics call "God" most certainly exists. i've had several experiences proving it to me. now of course you can claim the experience is a delusion or it only exists in your mind or that God is simply a higher part of yourself and you may be right but that doesn't change the fact that it exists, in some form. so "God" is the word that some people use for this thing and its insane to claim that God doesn't exist because many people have experienced that it does in fact exist. and experiencially God is just as real as anything else, more real in my experience actually. so i think a debate about God should focus on what God is and not whether he exists because i don't see how you can answer the latter question before answering the former. i'm not going to say exactly what i think God is because i've made my point but i will throw out this defintion for the sake of example "God is a state of pure awareness".

Pussy. You've reduced the definition of God to be something anyone can prove the existence of. Real men define God as a an old grey-haired whitey living in the clouds.

So God is an abstration, does not objectively exist, and you've proven this to yourself through your own experience. I think that officially makes my toaster more of an integral aspect of existance than God.
Peace.

perhapse god is material, and does have a beard and hair. many claim to have seen "human" beings on spaceships. maybe there is a race of humans that created us on their image to be identical.

and its insane to claim that God doesn't exist
Nothing like trying to overstate your case by a priori insulting anyone with a different view. Of course this merely shows the poster's ignorance of what insanity is.
I have covered this fallacy many times. It is highly popular in political rhetoric: "Any intelligent and patriotic American can easily see that ..."
-------------------- The proof is in the pudding.

thank you for exposing that fallacy swami, as i will now know to avoid it in the future, however it doesn't refute my main argument. you can't claim God doesn't exist without defining God, i am saying that what the mystics define as God does in fact exist and is available to any human being in the form of a state of concioussness. i know this state of conciousness exists because i have directly experienced it, thus we can discuss this state of concioussness and what it might mean but it would irrational to claim it doesn't exist.

Whoa.... here killer
If I was to say God doesn't exist. How would I define God ?
To define something I know nothing of and refuse to believe. At what point do I have the balls to claim I can define something I can not even begine to see, feel or hear ?

Let me point out that you are without a sense of subtle humor, unless, which is a guess based on how you replied.
That is, I just don't think he was being serious.

"you can claim something doesnt exist on lack of evidence deviate. "
absense of evidence is not evidence of absense. you simply cannot logically conclude that God doesn't exist based on lack of evidence.

Oh I now see your point.
Agreed
Same can be said for radio waves can't it ?
IF you could go back 200 years and try to explain some of our technology. You would be burned at the stake.
The fact you can not see something does not mean it is not there

true but that blind man has friends that can look right at the sky and tell him that it does in fact exist, and they can accurately describe it to him. proving to him that it does exist.
and i take it you have read the book specter? what do you think of it? and have you read more than just the first installment?
