you cannot go toe to toe on the God arguments. You will lose, but you will lnever admit because you can't be honest. You says it's mental illness to sure God exists. that's crazy. you are telling me that 2% of the poplulat know better than 98% of people living now and the vast majority of people who have ever lived. Its' part of our brain stucture to believe in God. That should tell us right here God is a certainty.

Well, just last week there was a nice article on the evolution of religion, in the sense that our brains are triggered to believe in supernatural beings. It was not conclusive, as research may still take time, but one of the benefits of superstition may be a constant paranoia that keeps humans alert, amongst other things like better group coherence for religious folks, and so on.
A. If you're talking about atheists or "nonbelievers," it's actually more like 15% to 25%. If you're talking about people who don't necessarily believe in the same God as you do, the number is a lot larger - in fact, it's probably a majority.

If it is part of our brain structure why do you brainwash your children into believing what you believe in? Why not let them view everything for themselves and make their own decision so you can prove that people will indeed pick a belief in god if given a choice?
you cannot go toe to toe on the God arguments. Sure can.
You will lose,
No I won't.
but you will lnever admit because you can't be honest.
Except that it is the Christian apologists who more often than not lie for Jesus.

Mirror mirror on the wall.
you are telling me that 2% of the poplulat[ion] know better than 98% of people living now and the vast majority of people who have ever lived.
Are you telling me that argumentum ad populum is not a logical fallacy?

No it isn't.

We believe it, therefore it is true. Good argument! Got any more?
Correct, I cannot "go toe - to - toe" with your god in an argument, as your god does not exist, so arguing with him is impossible.
Pick a religion, any religion. No more than a third of the people now living are even nominal adherents of that religion (let alone Truly Saved True Believers). Before that religion was founded, no one followed it at all. Care to rethink your appeal to the majority?
Argument ad populum (and a wrong one at that, if you take into account that there have been thousands of different interpretations for god), Fabricated statistics, outright lies, and non sequitur. You lose.
Well, maybe 70%-80% believe some god or gods exists. But there's no rational proof, and never has been for the last 2,500 years of trying. It's one thing to say "I believe in God" and let it go at that; it's another to claim it should be obvious to everyone else.
If 4,999,999,999 people on the Earth believe that stychnine won't kill you, and the 1 person left believes it will...guess which side is right?
Its' part of our brain stucture to believe in God.
NO
Our brain structure (Internal; synapse postitions) actually changes quite a bit in infancy and puberty,we are NOT hardwired to have belief in anything.
Argumentum ad populum is a logical fallacy, so your fail there too.
If everybody in a tribe were forced to read de Sade and nothing else, they would all believe that pain and humiliation are godly.
As it turns out, some tribes are forced to read the bible and nothing else. Add guilt and fear to the pain and humiliation.
It's all about the books you are forced to read.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
