Do you believe in god? If you do, why do you believe? (give a few reasons)
I believe in God, but I do not accept any of the religions. God is one and he directs man wherever he needs, and religion interferes with normal living.
Religion is not created by God, but by the government in order to manage people. That is why many people deny God. They do not understand the differences between God and religion. I believe in God and I am sure that he helps me to live.
Let me get this straight. So you know your religion was invented by people and is essentially bunch of horse shit but you want to believe in it anyway.
I think it makes you more retarded than an average Baptist church goer. They are ignorant, you are not.
God concept was
MADE UP by people. Why don't you believe in Superman or Santa Claus?
There are many other interesting novels with more colorful characters.
Do you even know what that imaginary God of yours is? Some ghost somewhere, who knows where, that listens to 6 billions praying to him? Do I need to go on?
And what is to you, that there are people, who inherently understand, they arent mere animals living ultimately meaningless and finite life like you do? Is it that offensive, that indeed majority of humankind either via organized religion or on their own want to ascend to higher existence and find peace within themselves?
You on your own accepted the role of pariah consumed by hatred of those not of poor soul like you. May God forgive you for your blind hate of fellow human beings.
EDIT.: Your Superman did not create Universe, laws of physics or human soul, did he? Less talking and more thinking. Thank you.
Of course living your life believing in nonsense is not offensive to me. It is your life.
What is offensive when you say your ideas make any sense. Religious ideas offend my intelligence. That is what is offensive.
When you say with straight face that your imaginary friend created this universe and will punish me for not believing in him.
Or that I should die because I am non-believer, that is what is offensive.
Ask yourself this question: "I am assuming that it makes you happy seeing your family not harmed in any way. Now imagine, your son will turn gay, when you and your son die, he goes to hell, you go to heaven. Would you be happy in heaven knowing that your son is in extreme pain for eternity? Would that be heaven to you?" The whole concept is ridiculous. That is what is offensive.
