Not necessarily "originate," more like, codify. Intelligences can codify information from otherwise natural matter by observing and predicting consistent patterns therein. You're not in the clear, here.

That's what happens to the thinking of people who haven't taken the time develop any spiritual discernment.

Why would we bother to develop capabilities with reference to something for which we have no evidence of its existence. To show you how ridiculous your statement is, let me replace spiritual with something we know is fictional (being from a series of fiction novels):

"That's what happens to the thinking of people who haven't taken the time develop any Discworld discernment."

We have exactly the same evidential for Discworld as we do for spirits, assertions made without supporting data. The only difference being that Terry Pratchett never went around insisting that Discworld was actually real outside his and his readers imaginations, whereas, despite masses of evidence contradictory, idiots like you still continue to insist that there is a reality outside our reality and demand that the rest of us take your unevidenced assertions to be absolutely true.

There is rational spirituality then there is irrational spirituality i need neither. i really do not need irrational spirituality. 
Again though i don't know why people believe in god here let me paint you a picture. 


do you realize out there in the vastness of space we are just a dust particle in the grand scheme of things not even a dust particle 
but a speck a tiny insignificant speck that happens of have life on it and you are talking about spiritual discernment what a laugh.

Yeah...

This highlights a general difference between theists and sceptics.

Theists generally seem stuck in the old mindset that the earth is the centre of the universe, or that the earth pretty much is the only important thing with everything else being a backdrop. This is often given away by interchangeable use of "world" and "universe".

Sceptics seem to be able to accept that our planet, and the life on it, are as much of a backdrop as anything else.

Yeah, I'll take the torture and refuse to serve such a wicked being as this God you describe.

Can you explain the rapist accusation please?
God isn't forcing you to do anything you don't wanna do
and sure, but that's a little disturbing how you prefer torture :S

Satan in the bible isn't evil if compared to god. god in the bible is evil and does bad things because he can. So yeah you don't
have free will in heaven because you know the ability to think for yourself is said sin that is taken away.

I disagree with the asshole claim. God is actually very kind, considering how He became a human to die so that we wouldn't go to hell. Jesus went to hell for three days and three nights too. To me that sounds like a very good God.
and Satan is evil. He's the one who tempted us to sin in the first place and sewered everyone smh.

May I ask, how does that work? I just don't see how god dying as a human prevents us to go to hell. Wouldn't that mean that God is now dead leaving us to tango with Satan without his help?
