Oh btw, religion is a refuge for the weak minded. ;)


Or maybe its for the strong minded who can actually realise that there must be a greater being than just humans...

Or weakminded people who fear their mortality.

i sense this will be locked soon lol

but my take on the question? no, i do not believe in such mythical entities such as this 'god' fella.
why, u ask? because the thought that some high and mighty being (that existed before existence even existed, aka. before the dawn of time) created a creature that had the ability to be so ignorant and stupid, is well, scary. If there is a god, its a little boy. being this god fella sure aint bright.
mankind is the worst mistake mother nature ever made, and we will never live the length of time the dinosaurs lived. Why? because we are not fit as a creature to live.
i enjoy life, but as a race we shouldn't even be here. we will end up being like the aliens in all the alien movies, that attack earth because they go from planet to planet consuming the natural resources.
besides, the bible is nothing but a ficticious piece of writing that, if real, is nothing but exaggerated stories meant to be great stories, instead of mediocre stories of the good things man has done.
noah's ark? if real, it wasn't the whole world, it was the Black Sea.
just for example..

and besides, religion, at its very best, is a tool to conform mankind, to give us the idea of purpose besides procreation. which is really all life is. to live, procreate, and die. everything else we do is buffer. and religion makes life seem more purposeful, to give reason to our existence.. and that is to be good and jolly and make it to heaven to enjoy a better life. lol
why cant we just except that when we die, we die.
although i think there might be some sci-fi things that happen, like our soul goes to an parallel universe or somethin like that. or we live as ghosts.

Could be... but i'd rather believe in something that brings me peace and happyness instead of believing in nothing.

There either is a "God" or there is not, and no amount of belief on my part or anyone else's will affect this either way. If such a "God" should ever be proven to exist, then I will accept its existence with good grace, but until then, I see no point in "worshipping" such an entity.

These threads are so dull now.

Using intelligence > relying on outdated fictional storybooks.

Yeah your right, just another dude who created the whole universe...

How about "God is a concept to nonsensical to even bother thinking about, let alone argue the merits of"?

You're probably just as close minded for saying what you did. I voted No, but I respect all those who say yes. I can't say No with confidence, but please no insulting others..
