Don't need to feel sorry for me dude. I'm pretty happy last I checked. I'm just not a big fan of this kind of condescending tone religious people spout at me. In my post I made of point of saying that I don't care what people around me believe, as long as they don't force their beliefs on me. And yes, a condescending and patronizing tone is a way to try and force your opinion on me.

If it makes you feel better to think that God had something to do with creation, it's your right and I'm happy that you believe in something bigger than ourselves. Maybe you have something to look forward after death, and for that I can only admire you.

I don't believe in any sort of creation. Yes, the odds of everything happening just the way they did on a molecular level is infinitesimally small, yet it happened. and like Cleve said, the Universe is big beyond our comprehension, so who's to say that similar conditions don't exist somewhere else? And supposing they do, we couldn't even begin to imagine what life somewhere else might look like, given entirely different environmental conditions. In other words, there's no way to know until we lok at the right place

I major in History in University, and that's one of the main reasons I feel I can't possibly adhere to any organized religion. The way modern christianity came into being, the way organized religion works (more politics than faith), the disgusting excesses of the Catholic Church from around A.D. 800 to 1945, I just can't believe what they tell me to believe. But that's just me, and everyone else is free to form their own opinion.
