How many foreign languages do you speak?

Asrudin, that's exactly what I believe. I love you (even if you should turn out to be Hellbokos)!

Why should one even care about whether God exists or not? If you believe in him and are happy, then I understand that you care, but if you don't believe in him why do you have to tell everybody? Especially when there is no evidence to back up either side.

I think of God's existence kind of the same way I think of Santa Claus', or any other person I haven't got any reason to care about. If God, or Santa exists, then what does it hurt me? He hasn't done anything against me (yet) and nothing for me (that I know of, they might be helping me all the time, but I don't know about it, and my life is the same whether I care about their existence or not). But if he'd show himself, for whatever reason, and tell me why I should care about him, I might start caring.

Frigo, you're just fucking stupid. "Because nobody has disproved God's existence means that he doesn't exist. But if he should exist, that means everything I can imagine also exists." Nobody has disproved the existence of your brain either, I guess that means that should you have one, God exists, right?

 

- God1 exists
- God1 couldn't create itself
- Who created God1? -> God2, who is not equal to God1

- God2 exists
- God2 couldn't create itself
- Who created God2? -> God3, who is not equal to God1 neither to God2

- God3 exists
...

So we get:
- infinite number of gods
- each god differs from every other god

So YES, we get EVERY kind of god.

 

If God exists, God exists, there's really nothing to it. He'd probably be eternal because I guess that's part of being God, but what do I know?

If, like you say, somebody has to create everything, and you can't create yourself. Who created the universe?

 

If someone can accept that God exists "by itself", why he has trouble accepting that our universe exists "by itself" ?

 

Since you can't create yourself, who created God?

 

Frigo, you're the one having trouble accepting that God might be eternal, but you accept that the universe can.

 

My God, this thread got derailed quickly.

I realize the irony if using "my God" as an exclamation seems really witty, but I typed it first without realizing it. Also, the fact that I choose to capitalize the name God also says something about me and my beliefs.

I'm not saying this reflects on this particular forum, but I've become too cynical to debate either religion or politics anymore, unfortunately. Too many people waiting until you're done talking instead of actually listening.

 

I did believe in the whole "god" thing for a while until it was discovered world wide that Catholic priests were molesting young boys. And being Catholic myself, I cannot bear the thought of sitting in a box talking to an old man who is presumabely clensing my sins but also playing with himeslf listening to the manly tone of my voice.

 

Yes...Catholic isn't the smartest of all religions...

But the thought that it acutally exist some kind of higher power is kindy comforting. Or something.

I don't really think of it that much, I just believe there is some kind of higher power (Call it God), bur other then the acutall existence, I don't care much.

 

I find buddhism smarter than the others.
And catholic have a long history of idtic thing that is quite known.

 

- average intelligence of its followers
- number of contradictions in their "holy" fantasy book
- number of people they killed
etc...

 

Other than my native tongue, I only speak English.
