GOD

[F L E S H]

Well you called him OUR friend a while back, so I was just returning the favor

I would just like for you to explain how all the things that people who do believe in an afterlife can exist, if there isn't one. And Give me something from YOU, not someone else on exactly why you believe there is not a god. Evidence of this.

All I have heard from you is how wrong everyone else is. Nothing about YOU and FACTS. That is all the writer of that article did.

YOU have been the one dragging me into this converstaion, now you just want to pussy out? Come on now......

You can't say I pussied out, I just asked you to ask me your question again... I just don't understand what ME and FACTS have to do with each other, the other guy has the facts, I have my opinion.

But whatever. So, the afterlife. For as long as people have been aware of life and death, we've been trying to extend our lives, and even trying to cheat death. But the point is we can't, we eventually die, and then nothing. I think it's that nothing that people are afraid of, they're afraid of non-existence. And quite frankly who isn't? There's how belief in some sort of after-life began. Our memories of the dearly departed are what people have called "soul", or whatever other word. But they're just that, memories.

As for God, there's nothing I can say about the origin of the notion of "god" that you haven't already heard. It's not a question of evidence for and against, that's ultimately pointless, as is any search for the "true" Jesus. A simple reflection on the history of humanity, of language, of philosophy along with the 21st century knowledge we have come to acquire can shred any argument in favor of any deity. Period. The problem of taking such logic to it's conclusion is all the political, economic, sociological factors. That is, I realize you can't just yank out religion on any given morning and expect the world to be a better place. But I guess I'm a little utopian in believing that it could happen, and the world would be better off for it.

There is a separation between church and state and therefore, for the purpose of this article, we may refer to God as He. Let's make it clear God, does not have a gender.
