Nobody's ever presented me with valid evidence (i.e. something I can observe with my own senses and verify) of this God fellow, and they say in order to believe in him I need to have "faith" (i.e. I need to believe stuff without evidence for it), so I had to reject Christianity as logically unfounded in my early teenage years. And it didn't look like any religion had any proof whatsoever of a supernatural world, so I naturally came to the conclusion that there is no reason to believe in something with no evidence for it and rejected religion altogether.
See the Set Free from Jesus site for more info, especially the proof that Jesus was a false prophet.
Are you still searching for the truth, or have you stopped because of faith?Quote:

For me, it is not "the easy answer so I wont have to worry or think deeply about the unknown anymore". It is pursuing questions of the unknown in a scientific manner, rather than relying on ancient texts or conjectures that try to know what is inherently unknowable and are thus unfalsifiable and unverifiable. It seems, from all that we can observe, that the universe is nothing but a composition of mass and energy. If there is any "supernatural world" interacting with physical reality, it must be detectable and measurable somehow, but we have no such evidence that this is the case. If we want to explore the origins of the universe, we look into the cosmos and the structure of what we see and try to theorize on how the mass and energy got into its current configurations. There is much fascinating scientific research into these subjects that do a much better job of explaining how we got here than the Bible can.
By "easy answer" I meant religion. ;)
But in order to attain ultimate truth and knowledge supposed, shouldn't you read everything you can get your hands on? I'm a history major, and when I prepare to write a 20 page paper, I don't just read one book on the subject and assume I know everything there is to know about it. I read about 10 books, and I STILL don't know everything.Quote:

Wow, bruiser, look how you spelled nowhere, if that's not a Freudian slip, I don't know what is. Seems to me your subconscious knows best!!Quote:

We'll never know the truth, but, that doesn't mean we have to believe in the bible or stop questioning the existence of God.
If we all thought like you, bruiser, we'd believe the Earth is flat, the ocean contains sea monsters, and leeches cure bronchitis.

I don't think so..yet the Hindhu's believe such nonsense,some even think that rats are Divine.
When you pass over to the other side,the truth will be revealed to you..and you can make your choice then..if you choose to ignore the Hand of God,in both your creation,your children's creation and the universe..then that's your choice..but I don't see how anyone who smokes weed,can't believe that only a loving God..could have created such for our use.
Have a good one....
