    Hindus do not realize that & neither do you. IF gods cannot prove they exist, what good are they. They may as well not exist & as long as they insist on hiding from us, there is no reason to believe they exist. Do me a favor and disprove the existence of Donald Duck.

    You are most welcome to explain anything.

    Hindus, me included, do not try to prove existence of God. Can you prove non existence. Welcome to try.

    Yes, God may not as well exist. It might still exist.


    Do some immortal humans live? You cannot disprove it. They might as well live.

    Pal, you cannot prove you were born.

    You're repeating yourself in vain. "Answering" my reply with the same thing I was replying to.

    It might exist & it might not. There is plenty of evidence that we do not need it to explain things. Most things people once tried to explain with godfantasy we now have the actual explanations for. There are billions of things that might & might not exist. Believing in any of them cannot be of any more help to anyone than believing in any of the others.

    Fallacious. That doesn't work both ways. If they have no effect on us, they may as well not exist. Being unable to disprove it does not mean they may as well exist yet being unable to prove it does mean they may as well not exist.

    I have much more evidence of that than you have of gods. Communicating with you is more evidence of me than there is of gods. IF I had enough desire for you to truly know I exist, I'd be knocking on your door. Which is more than any gods can do. I can take you to a hospital & show you babies being birthed. You cannot show me any gods being birthed.
    I am not your pal.

    Since one can't prove a negative, unless you have access to every particle of the universe, this is a meaningless challenge. Sure, everything is possible. The discernment comes from introducing probability. Without that the subject is so broad as to be meaningless.

    So, other than playing word games, that line of "reasoning" isn't productive. It's possible that you're God, it just isn't very probable

    So, what does proposing a challenge like that offer toward clarification of this topic?
