My theory why god doesn't exist
Alwaysblazed,
That's part of the reason why I don't think people should lie to their children, even if they think it's "cute" (the whole Santa business) - the kids might just start suspecting everything you tell them is a lie, which isn't good (and likely isn't true.)Ok. I grew up being told about santa claus, the tooth fairy, the easter bunny, the boogeyman, the sandman, the ever infamous stranger, and of course god. When I slowly came to realization that these were not true around the age of 9 I still believed in god longer, but by 12 I just refused to believe that "god" exists.
Ummm, who needs to be a "creationist" to accept the existence of God?. After all the research we have collected and proven against creationism and how there is NO evidence to prove creationism. People want to remain ignorant and claim it's "faith" and that works for some people, but people who claim they are doing acts of violence because of "god" and people thanking "god" sincerely (even I say "thank god" but I use it as an expression).
It's been my experience that when people say "I don't believe in God", if I were to ask them just what they think "God is", I'd be moved to say "I don't believe in that 'God' either."
Anh, that's true of anything human beings are involved in, not just religion. That's the real burn though - for whatever reason people get very unforgiving when it involves religion. By that way of thinking, I should be against cannabis decriminalization (which of course I'm not) because of dishonest smokers and other assorted shady characters who share my fondness for smoke (but who otherwise I wouldn't trust any further than I could throw them.)I am not going to just say there is no evidence, but not only is there no evidence but throughout the past the christian church has proven themselves to be corrupt and selfish.
I think what one means by "God" has to be defined first, before one can speak of "evidence" (or a lack of it.)There has never been any evidence that god was real except from individuals saying so.
Yes, how could they?How can you blindly worship somebody who doesn't exist?
That sounds like a very superficial understanding of what God "is" though. I'm not saying you're a foolish or superficial person, but I do think part of the difficulty you're having understanding religious belief is that you're essentially reducing it to "explaining what physics cannot explain" - as if God were some kind of tinkerer, Who micromanages things in the way a human being would.There does not need to be a higher being for life to exist, it's a complex series of chemical reactions over trillions and quadrillions of years.
I'm sure a lot of them are. But I don't see how that's a failing unique to religious people. Once again, it seems you're unintentionally holding "religious people" to a different set of standards than "other folks."I'm sorry but I just see people who believe in "god" as ignorant people who are afraid of change.
I don't think you're considering the matter deeply enough. If your subject (what you're deeming "God") is basically just a glorified human being (qualitatively the same, just "more powerful"), then of course you're going to remain skeptical, and rightly so.If you need somewhere to turn to for hope and faith turn to your family, prey to yourself, not to a false god. Sorry if this came off somewhat hostile but I really don't see any point why people should continue to believe in god anymore. Back in the time of the birth of judaism word spread slow. People believed in god because that was the only plausable theory as to why we were there.
The problem of course is as to why anyone should believe there is such a thing as coincidence to begin with, at least in so far as it implies something blind and random. This universe, as best as we can tell, is a closed system which operates according to some interesting rules - I don't see anything blind or random about that in the least.Every coincidence is not a miracle.
