Irreligion and  Anti-Religion

Does God Exist ? This is a question that has led to debate, anxiety, anger, and tremendous violence. “Empirical evidence” means that which can be detected  by the five senses: sight, touch, taste, smell, and  hearing. There is no empirical evidence that God exists, thus people draw their evidence from other sources. Argument for the existence of God comes from feelings, testimonials, personal experience, anecdotal evidence, and most of all – faith.
