    Unicorns are undetectable

    Then you are changing the nature of unicorns. Usually in books they are made of physical stuff and interact with physical stuff. But if they can’t do that then they would be made of the same stuff that souls and angels are made. And then you are changing question from “Does this weird animal exist?” to “Does higher mode of existence that we can’t detect exist”

    Every god has the same claims

    I think you are confusing gods with religions. There are 20 major religions. There are of course monotheistic and polytheistic religions. We could split my claim to two basic components. One ‘humans have a undetectable soul or spiritual element to them’. And two ‘The Christianity is correct religion’

    The prevalent existence of spirituality in Ethnic Tribes is an argument for spiritual element in humans. I will assume that we are in agreement on that point. If you want You can come up with an argument against this.

    I don’t think that Christianity is definitely correct. I didn’t put the work to have that strong of an opinion on the topic. It definitely helped that I was born in the culture that already had Christianity ingrained in it’s roots. It also gave me personally some benefit to my mental well being. I think that it is neat that in some christian circles it is encouraged to question your own beliefs and trying to get to the truth.

    Pascal’s wager was nice at that time for its simplicity, but when counterarguments come up, it became messy and complicated. It is still worth a mention as a historical milestone in philosophy.

    My bad, I am not so well versed in the theological concepts. I asked one philosopher and she said that transubstantiation is beyond human understanding. So I agree. That is insane.

    There aren’t evidence that unicorns don’t exist but there is certain probability that they don’t exist. If so far no one spoted them then a) they are super rare (they would need better luck than Dream) or b) they don’t exist

    God on the other hand isn’t physical and we can’t take a picture of Him like some sort unicorn. There are certain aspects of the world that skew the probability for the existence of God. Prophets, teachings and miracles of Christ, possessions, various apparitions, time before big bang. These things slightly skew the probability of existance of God but certainly they don’t provide definite answer.

    No, no literally, figuratively.

    The fact is there is no evidence for existance of God. But also there is no evidence that disproves the existence of God.

    But still… there was a guy 2000 years ago that said “There is God”

    And whole religion is based on a question “do I believe the guy that lived 2000 years ago”

    And I said yes and I don’t care what your answer is.

    Just don’t be a douchebag.
