>God cannot be proved or disproved, so stop wasting your time! http://lesswrong.com/lw/i8/religions_claim_to_be_nondisprovable/ http://lesswrong.com/lw/i8/reli

  Yes, yes: 'On critical examination it can be disproved', so where is the critical examination there? Nowhere. This is simply someone saying, I'm anti-religion and I want my argument to be relevant, which it isn't, which is why it's on lesswrong a 'community blog' rather than somewhere legitimate or relevant. The argument over the existence of god is simply put, pointless. Religions are irrelevant to the existence of god, they're a construct placed around an idea. You've got to disprove the idea, which places you squarely into philosophical debate, which as I already said is akin to debating whether a glass is half-full or half-empty: fucking pointless.

    > Religions are irrelevant to the existence of god As the blog noted, that's certainly not what most religious people believe. You're just not in Dawkins' target audience. So if it's ok with you, i'd rather not continue derailing this thread..

      If you dislike derailing threads then when you post something, please ensure it is relevant to the discussion. Your link didn't even make the point you wanted it to, it basically stated "Saying god cannot be proved or disproved is wrong . . . for no reason whatsoever and I provide no justification for my reasoning!" And no, I'm not in Dawkins' target audience and I'm glad I'm not, because they're anti-religious zealots frothing at the mouth clearly illustrated by your link. There was no evidence and no argument aside from "just 'cause", which IIRC is exactly the reasoning used by the bible.
