God / Religion Thread [merged]

I'm personally not big on organized religion. It's caused too much chaos in the world.

hmm, care to explain that a bit further BF?

Well, wars, death, terrorist acts. Lots of them have stemmed from a persons belief in God and the assumption of what said God wants.

God didn't make us because he doesn't exist....we made him...good topic darth hater

True, but is it the fault of the religion that some ppl interrupt their writings in a certain way

No, it's not. But if such stupid people believe in something, then i can't bring myself to believe in that same thing.

That is indeed one of the most vigorously conditional statements I have ever seen! Plenty to be attacked there!

hmm it is not cause some idiot interrupts something a certain way that you can't interrupt it in a better way

Yes, I know. They just aren't for me.

well I agree with ya, never did like organised religion I take parts from every religion I can find to make my own mix

Yeah, well to answer the question on the topic....Since I use logic to define my beliefs, and most logic points at their not being a god. It's hard for me to believe in one. I can't help but wonder why the world is so crappy if there was an all powerful being who could have made it better.

I think there is no god, Or god has an extremely messed up sense of humor

the fact that you think there is no god proves that there is none.

Maybe god made the world and didn't care anymore from that day on.
I always think it's weird how ppl say there can't be a god cause there is suffering in the world.

Couldn't it be that god thinks we should clean up our own mess. when you have a kid you ain't gonna wipe its ass when it's 28

Sure, that makes sense.

thx

Yeah, and the question I always wonder is 'where did we come from?'

God or no god, it had to all start somewhere. I find it hard to believe that 'we were always here' or 'God was always here' . . . .

I dig the evolution idea, but where and how did it all start? You can't create something out of nothing, right? Did the universe start from gasses? Well, where did the gasses come from? It blows my mind.

You could get intgo computational theory. In the beginning there were two states, one and one different from that one.

And then it all kinda spilled out from there...

Well TH I believe there is some form of life energy which consists out of a pool, and every living being is contected to that pool, when it dies it's energy returns to that pool, and that pool made the universe, but it didn't make any planets evolve or so it just, as you said started it all

Still, that is creation out of nothing. The two states must have come from somewhere. And the pool of energy had to have an origin. Or, maybe my biggest mistake is the thinking that something can't come from nothing. Maybe there is no such thing as nothing, that blows my mind even more.

No it isn't creation from nothing.. The two states are what ARE. You are probably closer saying there is no such thing as nothing.
