Is god real or not?

god is not real. for something to be considered real it must be objectively verifiable instead of just being subjectively claimed.

i am not saying god "can't possibly be real". i just don't know how that even could be possible but as far as we can show, gods existence is not an "actuality" but at best merely a "possibility". therefore anyone claiming god is real is a liar unless he or she has objectively verifiable evidence for god. but nobody was able to provide that since the thousands of years that this idea has been floating around in the minds of humanity already.

so in conclusion i would say if you consider "the idea of something" as something "being real", then god is real. but if that something has to exist outside of human ideas in the real world, then god isn't real.

depends which god.

zeus or ganesh are not real. most gods are not real but the one who prophecy came true is real.

test who predicted the future with a place n time like book daniel.

but if i predicted an atheist will stay atheist... dawkins and i turn out right... does that show i was a prophet who predicted the future?

[Daniela1982]

A "real" prophet doesn't predict the future, he is just saying what God has revealed to him. For instance, all the prophesies in Revelation were given to John when he was taken to Heaven so see firsthand what was going to happen in the future.

i mean, arguably, no. its a figment of people's imaginations. however having a belief can be helpful for many

[Daniela1982]

You are asking that on a site where most people are atheists.

[strateguy632]

most?
statistical if 90% of planet is religious than most on here are also religious!
but atheists pull tricks like deception.
in fact most polls HERE the atheists lost.

[strateguy632]

but i like your pictures! all 3!

Nope.
Though I suppose the more accurate term would be "undefined". Definition is a prerequisite for determining existence. I mean you can't really make meaningful statements about something existing or not existing if you can't even specify what exactly you're talking about. Merely giving a name does not suffice. WHO you are is not WHAT you are...
But generally speaking if someone can't even define a thing like a god (and they generally make a point of NOT defining them as definition implies limitation) then the question of existence doesn't even have to be considered.

Unlikely. I'm 99% sure there isn't a god.

But I'm 100% sure that if there is a god no religion has correctly guessed its nature.

To me it's just a fairy tale. I've seen no evidence.

[TommyMountainFigure]

No idea. I remain open minded though, until someone can prove to me one way or the other!

Nobody knows until they die. Just because some guy wrote a book telling you to believe in something doesn't make it real.

[strateguy632]

you can only speak for yourself! YOU dont know you are ignorant.
trying to speak for others is like "Nobody knows" what clouds are.

[Staximus]

@strateguy632 the epitome of ignorance is believing everything you read

[BarryLiverstone]

Is you mean God, of course He’s real. If you are asking about other gods probably not
