    How about you take this thread to the athiests forum? Because this is just a shit stirring thread. :confused:

    I never gave up on God, there is someone out there looking after you, or so I believe, I got out of many a difficult situation with his help, that is my belief. But as regards the church I gave up on that in 1963 when I was 13.

    Never.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,652 ✭✭✭fasttalkerchat


    Never really believed in God. I didn't think anyone 100% believed in it as a kid.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 594 ✭✭✭Red21


    I believe in god, I've a very strong intuition that something unmanifested exists.

    St Bridget went to heaven, met god at the gate, he welcomed her in, and asked her to have a meal with him. They sat down and he opened a can of tuna and shared it with her and some dried bread, as she was eating her meal she looked over the cliff where hell was, and seen all the people eating steak and drinking wine, she passed it off. The next day the same thing happened dry bread and tuna while the lads were living it up down in hell. The following day she said to god what is the story, in hell, they are living it up, and we are eating dry bread and canned tuna. He replied, it would not be economical just too cook for the two of us.

    I gave up on a so-called God while pondering when i was up in the donegal mountains on my own many years ago looking at the milky-way and had what some alcoholics call a moment of clarity...

    dejavu, I feel like i typed this before here many years ago. All i believe in now is electrical energy non physical.

    I'll manifest my fist into your face, then hopefully your delusion will be relinquished.

    How do you plan on doing that?(the fist thing)
    How are my believes a delusion?

    When Sir David Attenborough said this.

    I think of a little child in east Africa with a worm burrowing through his eyeball. The worm cannot live in any other way, except by burrowing through eyeballs. I find that hard to reconcile with the notion of a divine and benevolent creator.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,116 ✭✭✭starviewadams


    Don't think I ever actually believed in him/it.

    Only times I was ever brought to mass was by my drunken,violent arsehole father every second Sunday.

    Reckoned if god was real there'd be no way he'd let a lad like him into his gaff.

    All living insects/animals/mammals/humans brains function from electrical energy pulses to make the body of these to function so in essence i recon imo that when all matter dies the electrical part lives on and i think maybe all the electrical energy of us all - down to the basic life-form is God if you want to use that phrase "God", but i do not believe the master of this plan is a physical man/woman made of physical matter.

    Can electrical energy of us and the universe fade into nothing ? or does it go on for ever as we think how long forever is ?.

    Don't worry folks, i'm not gone into a major waffle...just pondering on this God issue.
