Oh you asked "why" and not "where." Motive was that theism is as obviously false as it is meaningless. We constantly operate as though theism is false. Why do we need disaster relief? Because God's not gonna provide it. Why do we need to concern ourselves with social justice? Because God's certainly not gonna see that justice is served. Why do we need the entire medical profession? Because God's not gonna answer a prayer for a loved one. I don't even think theism would be cool if it was true. What difference would it make if agency were fundamental rather than emergent? Absolutely none.

I didn't kill God.
He's in my basement. (August 27, 2016 at 2:23 pm)Thena323 Wrote: I didn't kill God. GG, I thought he escaped my attic. Seems like you stole him. He has a gag ball in his mouth still right? 
Well, my story is relatively short. I was born into a Catholic/Protestant family with strong ties with both sides of Christianity. I went to church with my parents on a Sunday afternoon in my Sunday best, then once that was over, I went to a sort of bible school after the service for children. Once that was established, I was overwhelmed in my neighbourhood (Manchester, England) to see loads of people in uniform playing musical instruments and marching around our area which made me feel proud. This is when I joined the boys brigade. When we moved to the Midlands, it was a whole new world and to be honest, we didn't go to church once. However, I still had my bible which was the Good News Bible from the early 1980s, then when I went to secondary school, I was given a small red bible in an assembly. To cut a long story short, when I was 11 years of age, I cut ties with religion altogether and formed my own opinions and went my own way. 32 years have passed by and I am still alive, in spite of what life has thrown at me and I have never needed Gods help. Those who do, are simply insecure.
