    Only dumb people believe in God.

    How dare you say that.

    I'm so cool that i'm atheist.

    Blah blah blah.

    I think that about covers the next few pages.

    Does this have anything to do with what I did last night. I already said I was sorry.

    Yes I do believe in a God. I don't think there's a nice old man with a beard living in the sky but I do believe that there is a higher power out there somewhere.

    I'd be of the same. We are tiny in the scale of things. I may have read to many 2000AD comics in the past though :(

    Yeah a higher power - neither benevolent nor malevolent, just there, rendering prayer, the notion of god as loving, kind, compassionate etc... as a load of ****.

    I believe in something. It's not the "God" God, as in Christianity or anything, I just think there's something there, I dunno what it is though.

    I guess I believe in something powerful, but not necessarily a power in its own right, and I ertainly don't believe it's sentient. I guess I believe in physics and energy and that which we can't fully understand. I suppose it's just nature I believe in, and I say that it's powerful because it conrols pretty much everything.

    Take a step back.



    You sit in front of a wonderful invention and think nothing of it as you put your words in places for many to see.

    Can there not be one who is even more ahead of you? us even?

    Does the world stop with your comprehension or is there more?

    Agnosticism ftw, having your cake and eating it!
    I'd like to believe in a god. It seems very comforting. But I don't like the definitiveness that goes with it so often.

    Meh, cant make up me mind...when you consider the natural things like beautiful scenery, stars and just how complex living organisms are it makes me think there must be something bigger...but then you hear about **** like paedophilia, child abuse, human rights abuses etc and it makes me think that if theres anything I might be persuaded to believe in the rc preachings its that pergutory exists, and we're all living there,this is it:(...
    no that I've depressed the tits off yis all, Im goin to get locked :eek:

    Crock of ****e...the whole god thing is a way of keeping people under control.
    At the start it was kings/queens/sun/moon/dogs/cats/snakes etc.
    At people became more advanced something better and believeable was needed to keep people under control.
    So Jesus was invented. Very handy huh?
    The idea of this benevolent God waiting for you when you die.
    You only have to look at the hundreds of thousands of people killed each year to know there's no God..and if there was he's a sick sense of humour.
    You know what pisses me off? The fact that when I die..that's it..there's nothing there..and I won't be even able to say "MR..you were dead fookin right".

    invention? you assume this world was "invented".

    it's a moot query in my opinion. whether the belief be in your god or "A" god, there is still no proof for either case. where does this power reside? how does this power reside? and if you were this power, do you have friends? if not, why would you be content with going unnoticed? i'd sure as **** make sure people new i was there. otherwise, what am i doing? what is my purpose?

    If a God is something/someone a person creates in their head to help them through hard times then yes. Thats what I believe and I believe it may help them.

    Do I believe in heaven? No.

    And I don't buy the free will argument. Surely god could have shoved his principles aside and intervened a lot earlier than e.g. 6 million people. Also free will does not explain Hurricane Katrina, the tsunami etc.
