Coffeehouse Questions With Ryan Pauly

"My Religion/God has helped me so much. How could it not be real?" This is chapter 12 of atheist Armin Nabavi's book, "Why There Is No God." Armin claims, "The benefits of religious communities do not prove the existence of a deity." He even goes so far as to say, "There is no evidence to suggest that God helps people." And if positive outcomes are evidence of God's goodness, does that mean that negative outcomes are evidence of his cruelty? Let's take a look at this chapter and see how religious experience relates to evidence for God. Callers welcome!
