Hand of god
What are the best arguments for or against the existence of God?

I mean an omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, omnibenevolent Supreme Being -- the eternally and necessarily extant Creator of the universe.

Atheists, Theists, Agnostics, Polytheists, Pantheists and anyone else are all welcome to weigh in!
I'm not asking what you believe, I'm asking about the best arguments for or against the existence of God.

To clarify omnibenevolence, I mean simply 'perfect goodness,' not "the quality of being kind and generous towards everyone and everything." CH (CPT) (Join to see)

As if the Military doesn't have enough to think about.....now we waste our time doing what people have done for 3000 years.....does God exist ? Completed over 30 semester hours at St. Leo University on this same subject. This debate is a waste of time ! Count me out ! CMSgt Bob Remel. 100% Combat Disabled Vietnam Veteran.

There is no actual physical evidence proving there is a god a pantheon flying spaghetti monster whatever but I thought that was point to have faith in what you can't see I don't believe but I don't laugh at who do its real to them and I'm not them so how can I prove or disprove it really? We don't know even the tiniest fraction about the universe so maybe one day it will be proven for against a creator but I doubt it and not any time soon

I have a hard time seeing a man after God's own heart funding Contra terrorists who wiped out entire villages with money from arms sales to Iran. He had a lot of charisma, however he was not a good man.

I honestly don't know which is why I now identify as agnostic. There's too much that makes me doubt but because of my upbringing, I can't say for sure that I don't think he exists. I just know that I no longer worship one.

I have discovered that even more important to a person than irrefutable evidence given in support of a premise, proposition, argument, or the like, is the motivation to believe. Whatever the motivation may be, it is, more often than not, even stronger than any evidence one can give. I know of those that once believed in a god, but some catastrophic event in life turned them against that god. Then we often hear of those who through other kinds of catastrophic events begin to believe, whereas they didn't believe at first. It depends on motivation more than argument, however strong the argument may be.

With all due respect to those who believe in a god or many gods, I honestly don't care if they exist. I am more about worshiping the earth, nature, living by the "Golden Rule", etc. I care about how I treat others and how they treat me.

An afterlife does not necessarily follow the existence of God. If God exists (I believe He does) that does not mean that there is anything after death (I believe there is).
