Have you ever seen the air?
No one has seen the air.
You can hear it.
You can feel it.
But you can't see it.
So how do you prove it exists...?
I can hear God.
I can feel God.
But for me to prove to you that He exists, i would have to SHOW you God.
But until you can also hear Him and feel Him, you will never 'see' Him.

I was asked this once and I said "Because we have instuments that test temperature, what makes it up, how areas of the earth are harder to breath in then others and how we can put a person in a room and pump air into it enough to where the air pressure kills him/her. We have yet to create a devise that test any aspect of god"
You're breathing, aren't you? Well, then, there's your proof, knucklehead.
Ok true believer, do you have a favourite colourless, odourless gas you like to compare God to, or can he be like any colourless, odourless gas?
He's not a very strong one if he can't repel iron chariots.
Does he react with sulphides to form an acid?
I know what this fundie is getting at. the Kingdom of God is within you is something i understood after i left christianity. But im a Pagan not a Christian, tell me christian why does your God condone rape slavery and murder? no no Just is not a good answer neither is perfect wrath....face it Jehovahs a douchebag, so is Allah. stick to the Goddesses theyre a lot nicer.
How old is this poster -- 6? He says you can hear air and feel air, but you can't prove it because you can't see it? How pathetic! PLEASE tell me he's not seriously trying to say that air hasn't been proved!
I know he's just struggling for an analogy to appeal for the need to believe in God without proof (or at least without any more proof than inner hallucinations), but it's one of the lamest attempts at an analogy I've ever seen; the premise of the first part would be shredded by an average 10-year-old of reasonable mental competence.

I can feel Pink Unicorns.

But until you can also hear them and feel them, you will never 'see' pink unicorns. "
You claim to have a brain. No evidence for it exists. You can't see it, hear it, or touch it. You certainly give no evidence for the existence of your brain.
Now, fuckoffandie!
Yo, asstwitch. Quit ripping off Billy Graham. At least his analogy wasn't quite so blindingly ridiculous. UR knot sew brite.
Have you ever seen God? Seen him? I've never seen the wind. I've seen the effects of the wind, but I've never seen the wind.
I've seen air....visit L.A. and you too can see air.
As of a couple years ago, Houston, TX has surpassed Los Angeles, CA as the Most Polluted City in the U.S..
It's not really Houston's fault, though. L.A. was making a monumental effort to clean up its air, while in the mean time Houston was basically standing still pollution-wise. In other words, Houston hasn't gotten dirtier, L.A. has gotten cleaner.
me and this asshat have actually had some emails back and forth. when i asked him to prove his side of the debate he refused to do it, a few emails down the line he said he already did. i asked him to restate what he said and he refused to. the enxt email i got was him claiming victory over me, telling me that ive already been beaten and i shouldnt try again. i responsed and he never responded back.
asshat i say!
Any one who said you can see air is an idiot... by no means can you ever see air. At all. Never.
And if this analogy sucks so much, then why have so many great people used the same idea?
Like somone said, Billy Graham said:
"Have you ever seen God? Seen him? I've never seen the wind. I've seen the effects of the wind, but I've never seen the wind."
C. S. Lewis said:
"I believe in God the same way as I believe in the sunrise. Not only do I see it, but by it I see everything else"
truebeliever_777 is right...
Seeing is believing, but with God, you aint gunna see untill you believe...
sounds unfair?
Well too bad, its God. He does things his way.
P.S. Even in L.A. or anywhere, YOU CANT SEE AIR!!!
<<< Like somone said, Billy Graham said:
"Have you ever seen God? Seen him? I've never seen the wind. I've seen the effects of the wind, but I've never seen the wind." >>>
Trying to use Billy Graham as an example of a "great person" is downright stupid.
<<< C. S. Lewis said:
"I believe in God the same way as I believe in the sunrise. Not only do I see it, but by it I see everything else" >>>
Trying it with C.S. Lewis is somewhat less stupid, but still pretty dumb given what we know of his apologetics. Decent storyteller, lousy apologetic.
Well we can see it, feel it, we can trap it, weight it, compress it, we can do a spectrometer analysis on it... we have yet to even see God.
0/10 analogy
With barometer you can prove wind.
No, with a barometer you can prove air by showing that it is pressing on something (usually a column of liquid). An anemometer is used to measure wind speed.
With faith you can prove God!
Faith is not evidence; it is belief despite the lack of evidence. Thus faith cannot prove anything.
We can feel air, it has weight, air pressure has a number of affects on the world around us, and air is vital to combustion.
Does god have any such uses?
You are all candles on the wind. To me, your lives are nothing more than flickers of moths wings.
The only way a human can communicate with insect (and be sure insect completely understood the message) is to squash it. Why do you think it's different for me?
P.S I tried talking and visions. I tried phantom hands and burning bushes. Believeth me, I know what I hath been talking about.
P.p.s. Swanheart...
Sincerely

The difference is - EVERYbody can feel and hear the air when the wind blows, but...
BTW, if you're hearing a voice claiming to be God, then you either need a new hearing aid or, if you don't wear one, a shrink.
...oh and might I add that God doesn't just talk to any lowlife who wants his time. I mean that's his whole deal. If he talked to just everybody, humanity wouldn't be in this never-ending sociological mess.
Confused?
