If you choose to believe in a god for whatever reason I ask this one question: Why your god and not the thousands of others through history. John Lennon said it best when he said god is how we measure our pain. But humans will never accomplish what we're truly capable of until we throw away our childish beliefs in "higher powers" and realize that we are our higher power. To me it is not a virtue to believe in something that cannot be proven, except by our "feelings". And if there is an omnipotent they surely can't be worth much with the way the world is going today. This ill-conceived notion of a god rules our world and causes many wars, and why not? If you truly believe in god why wouldn't one fight for the "truth"?
For instance, if a christian believes the bible to be the word of god why aren't we still stoning people for their sins as god commanded? Because we have EVOLVED dramatically from the glib twits of the bible and we realize that certain commandments don't fit well in the society of today. One day we will realize this considering the idea of god, which in ancient times was created to keep people in fear and controlling them...read history it's actually quite informing.
