I believe god looks like Lionel Richie from around the Dancing on the ceiling era but he may wear a cape.

AJ Ayer who famously wrote 'all God talk in nonsense also maybe converted. He was a logical positivist, subscribing wholeheartedly to the verification principle:
In 1988, shortly before his death, Ayer wrote an article entitled, "What I saw when I was dead", describing an unusual near-death experience. Of the experience, Ayer first said that it "slightly weakened my conviction that my genuine death ... will be the end of me, though I continue to hope that it will be." However, a few days later he revised this, saying "what I should have said is that my experiences have weakened, not my belief that there is no life after death, but my inflexible attitude towards that belief".
In 2001 Dr. Jeremy George, the attending physician, claimed that Ayer had confided to him: "I saw a Divine Being. I'm afraid I'm going to have to revise all my books and opinions." Ayer's son Nick, however, said that he had never mentioned this to him though he did find his father's words to be extraordinary, and said he had long felt there was something possibly suspect about his father's version of his near death experience.

Yeah if that bloke believed it must be true.
Ill ignore all that stuff about god that makes no sense whatsoever and believe myself now.
So 12 years after some fella died another fella CLAIMS he said there was a divine being. No one else can verify this CLAIM.
Is this suppossed to be evidence of a god?
Near death experiences have been proved to be nothing more than the brain releasing vast amounts of seratonin as it dies, hence the warm, peaceful feeling, tunnels of light etc.

Mr brother one took LSD and thought the plug sockets were after him. The brain can do strange things at times. The key is not to put everything you dont understand down to an all powerful being (and not take LSD if you have ridiculous hallucinations).
I think we've moved on somewhat from the God of the gaps.
Theists who believe in creation as OPPOSED to the Big Bang are fools. However it is entirely possible that both are true. Genesis is a poem after all...
Why would i have to when my life is not based on lies and more lies but is base on love and fact.I just posted a blog on this today: http://talkingdonkeyre.blogspot.com/2013/02/atheists-versus-new-atheists.html
The war poets were, without a doubt, true, BUT didn't give facts.
To have a closed mind to anything is naive. My mind is closed to nothing, I challenge and question my faith every single day. Do you?

But which unequivocal fact tells you that God doesn't exist? There is no solid proof that he does or doesn't exist, surely?
Cite your proof please. It's a suggestion, as is lack of oxygen. However, it's pretty much untestable, so impossible to gain certain conclusions.
