I really, really hope you're not implying that people who don't believe in God are incapable of love (not that I even belive in it).

Nope, not that. I'm trying to show that you can't prove you love your parents (yet you do) then how much more can you prove I don't believe in God or that God does not exist.

I can't prove to YOU that I love my parents. But I can prove it to MYSELF.

But of course, since I can't prove it to you, that's why I don't demand that you believe that I love my parents.

1. Proving something to youself and proving something to another person are completely different things.

2. Nobody can disprove or prove God's existence.

swears an oath (dunno really what I'm swearing to I guess it would still be god since I'm agnostic)

"I love my parents"

proof that is admissable by court assuming I'm a credible witness to my devotion of my parents.

Doesn't prove anything, you can't swear to God. In the Bible it says to not swear to God. Matthew 5:34 34But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne;

that's true but I can swear on the bible... bible=/= god.  The bible exists I saw one once.

The point is I can prove my parents exist, I can prove I exist, and I can prove I'm a credible witness (within reason).  Therefore I can prove in the court of law that I love my parents.

You have some flawed logic. And if you truly believe fully in "God" then why do you worry about whether we can prove he exists or not?

Here we go again. It's the same old all over again. Now i'll say you can't prove he does exist and we'll get into a long complicated argumant which will involve both of us getting modded for flaming! Moral of the story, the exact same goes for you, nobody's right.

No, what if someone read it to me?

And no, love is a special pattern in which a group of neurons in your brain are linked, and this pattern is different for every person. Therefore, no; you would need to have specific conditions for every person.

Nope, not that. I'm trying to show that you can't prove you love your parents (yet you do) then how much more can you prove I don't believe in God or that God does not exist.

No, they are two entirely different scenarios. Love cannot be quantifiably measured, but existence can be proved true or false.

That's called an argument from ignorance, or in a more sophisticated manner, a logical fallacy. Feel free to google it.

How old is a year? We would have to know which year, specifically. So then, the year 1900 would be over a hundred years old.

So it's ok for you to call me immoral but I can't say anything that might hurt your precious feelings. Doesn't seem very fair to me. I do love my parents, and I don't care if someone thinks I'm lying.

A year is the amount of time it takes for the Earth to revolve around the sun.

This topic was created February 7, 2007 so unless someone hacked in and changed the time this thread created, then it'd be proper to assume that the Earth has revolved around the sun more than one and a half times.

I think logic was left at the door too.

Athiests and non-believers don't claim to have proof either way, but they come to a conclusion based on what they know.

I wouldn't want to see any harm come to my mother and I couldn't stand to see her unhappy (I'm still an ass to her though). Based on that I can say that I don't dislike my mother, so I must care for or love her.

With God I don't see Him having any affect on my actions, or making my life any better or worse, nor do I see any other proof for His existance, so I come to the conclusion that He must not exist.

What do either of these things prove? Just that I have the ability to make conclusions and form my own opinions.

Look at the very first post, and it's obvious what you're doing because there's evidence.
