That's why there's so many different versions of God.

It's arguable (and has already been posted in this very forum) that to say "I believe there is no God" or "I am a non-believer" is to accept that a "god" or "religious belief" qualifies as an alternative or default position.

Pretty much my Credo.

but none ever did, not even when I was doing acid in the 60s. You'd think at least one would have had the decency to make an appearance, but no.

and so hard for so many to accept

My mind wanders to all the wasted efforts and wasted lives in an attempt to "please" god. Monumental waste.

Or right there.

Or over here.

Or behind this.

Or under that.

The ability to prove something to someone depends upon that person's standard of proof, and there are some to whom you can't prove water is wet.

But if I encounter someone who can prove to me, to their own satisfaction, that Godzilla doesn't exist, then I'll make good on my promise. Otherwise I'll stick with maintaining that there's no reason to believe that God exists (or that gods exist), just like there's no reason to believe Godzilla exists.

My tribe, the one I was born into believe it. Well, there you go.
