How can you be sure there is no God?

The following is a transcription of the podcast made available HERE . Welcome to the ex-Christian monologues, a podcast from the webmaster of exchristian.net. I’m Dave, the webmaster, and it’s March 26, 2006. Here’s a comment someone posted on ExChristian.Net just this morning: “May I ask you a question?” writes the poster. “How are you so sure that there is no god. I think I understand well the position of agnostics. But I am curious about your conviction of no god.

Some people think that by simply asking that question, or some variation of it, that they’ve made a good point, or proven something.

by Valerie T In light of this week's massacre of apparent children. Lesson II: Child-ness A good Evangelical must be able to recognize children on sight. This is because God loves children and every one is precious in his sight. He watches over them and protects them from harm, just like an all-powerful shepherd watching over his lambs. The Bible says so. Although this may not seem obvious in the world around us, when you understand the difference between a child and not-a-child everything becomes clear. You know who to take care of and how to keep from getting distracted by child-like creatures that don't merit your attention.

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. [3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. [4] And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. [5] And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. …. [14] And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: [15] And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. [16] And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
