(1,437 posts)I mean I know that's a loaded question that doesn't have a 4-line answer, but really. People believe it is true, to them it is proven. If you don't know for sure and if your god isn't willing to prove himself to you and instead likes playing little games with ancient men, there's no reason to believe at all. Maybe once nobody believes in this god he will come out of the sky and prove himself, because that's what he had to do the first time before anyone had a clue who he was.
You can't prove something doesn't exist, but the evidence is stacking up pretty high that allah or Yahweh, Jehovah or whatever he prefers, is not real. I'm just saying if something happened that confirmed that this god doesn't exist, like the emergence of another god or a tablet in a tomb that says it's all a crock of shit, signed by moses, people still wouldn't believe it.
