Actually, as many people will say, we won't really KNOW until we die right? If thats the case any of these ideas are just as possible as the next. Some sound weird, but they are still entirely possible. And this being a Philosophy forum, I figured those two examples would be accepted as they are both fitting in the philosophy category.

What's irrational about refusing to hold something that doesn't have any real evidence to be true?

Hmm.. I still believe that God exists.. and I stated me reasons in my first post... Can I use your quote back?

Proof of the Negative is a logical fallacy; it's virtually impossible to disprove that something does not exist. And, I don't have to disprove anything. I'm not claiming that God exists. The burden of proof lies on the person making the claim.

You are claiming that God does not exist, this is your claim. So I do believe a burden lies on you.
I already know that I cannot make someone believe in God. I have already had debates with God vs. No God. Luckily I did it with friends, so that things wouldn't get out of hand. It lands in standstill everytime. And you know what it ends up coming down to? Faith. Faith is not something you can force upon someone.. its personal. From that No matter what I say, you won't believe because of me. I'm not going to force you either. Any of this would only push us apart. I only came in this thread origially to point out something that I saw and disliked. As for what I'm here to say. I'm here to say God is a possiblity.. no more, no less.

Justify how not believing in something without supporting evidence is irrational.

Wait.. so you're telling me my belief in God is irrational, but your BELIEF.. which you refuse to give any evidence for..
is rational?
