What do you consider would be impossible to believe? (beliefs, doctrine)

[royol]

With lots of the different religions represented here, with their different beliefs, and doctrines, is there any one thing you would find impossible to believe?
as an Atheist I would say religious people will believe anything, but even I know that is not strictly true.

I will pretty much believe anything, but if it is true for me is a different question.

Impossible for me personally? An omnipotent God . He can't show me evidence that he can nullify logic without also nullifying the point of showing me that evidence .

I will believe anything if:
a) I want to
or b) I have a reason to

I think the same goes for most people.

logic is a human invention, God has no need of logic....

ah yes, good ol' pragmatism! i agree, if i have a reason to believe something (ie, if i subjectively interprit an event as being a miracle, i will make certain conclusions from that interpritation)

I cannot conceivably believe that there is no God. It wouldn't matter how hard I was to try, and there is absolutely nothing anybody could do to convince me.

Quite possibly . But I don't have a want to believe in an omnipotent God and (as I demonstrated above) it is... not coherent to offer evidence in support of the illogical. Therefore, it is impossible for me to believe in an omnipotent God.

*grins* pretty much .

What if God came down and told you he didn't exist .

Ahem just to use this comment for my own purposes... I view God coming and giving me evidence for his omnipotence similarly incoherent as God giving me evidence for his nonexistence.

He wouldn't. He's not a liar.
