    After spending almost 4 years now studying Theology and Psychology I can safely say that I do not believe in a God. I would like to believe in a God but I just can not bring myself to believe in a God. Chech out soem of the Psycologists view on Religion eg, Freud and Jung esp. Freud is a bit of a tit with his Oedipal theory for everything. But they do have some intresting views on the topic.

    Trying not to sound like a shill for Buddhism again, but the lack of an overarching deity was the main why reason that particular belief system attracted me.

    Without offending Christians, I feel that the bible is a tad contradictory in it's portrayal of God, making him out to be a vengeful and angry God in the OT and a loving God in the NT.

    Also, the whole creator-God arguement is a little-self defeating. Wouldn't it be a very sad and egotistical God that created us puny beings just for the sole reason of worshipping him?

    I think Nietzsche was around 95% there, although it was a shame the Nazi's hi-jacked his philosophy. His main thesis was that in order for mankind to fully evolve then we should throw off the shackles of superstitious belief, but still retain a decent moral code to live by.
