You clearly do. God is, at the least, the rigger of games. That's all you've shared with us in specific, but I'm sure there's more you keep privately. Don't pretend to be so obtuse, it does you no service. You assume I have beliefs at all, but honestly, judging by what believers call beliefs, I don't have any. You claim to know that the statement "god exists" is true.......even though you are incapable of demonstrating your knowledge or even how you came about it, don't you? Attempting to set up a false equivalence is the sign of a desperate mind.
Your shit stinks just the same as theirs. Accept that.

when did i say God was the rigger if games ?
i dont consider their religion wrong when did i say that it was wrong . i do think that all religions have been corrupted but there is probabally some truth in all religions i dont think any religion is 100% fabricated i think they center around a person actually having a spiritual experience .

That's actually one of the explanations offered for the source of that narrative Wyrd. Where the author(s) took their inspiration. It's tenuous, of course.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Should I quote the very post I responded to...do you insist on acting as though you never posted it, and do I need to..as you confirmed what I said in this very post as well? Get, your, shit, together.

What makes you think that she conciders the religious experiences of Muslims and Hindus to be wrong?

Her repeated insistence that they are, just in this thread, and of course in any other where she deigned to comment, for starters.

hinduism is actually the oldest religion in the world did early christians have access to hindus through trade ? i know there was pagan influences everywhere so christianity probabally mixed with pagan beliefs at least a little .

i dont know why we evolved to be what we are i do believe in intelligent design but i dont know what the purpose is to the design or plan is thats what religion answers that question . i dont believe any religion is completely right but there might be some truth in many religions so theyre not all wrong theyre just not perfect .

So, not wrong, but not right? You have a problem with words, huh? Fun fact about hinduism, did you know that hinduism is also the oldest source of atheism on record? Cavarka said, all that time ago, everything that any atheist has to say about religion today. That it's an exploitative business model for the priestly class, that there is no other world or next life, no gods to appease. Obviously that didn't take with the priestly class. Was Cavarka also corrupt, as a part of Hinduism, somehow?
These statements you make that are true and not true simultaneously, are tedious and incomprehensible. They are, in fact, gibberish. You believe that the various religions of the world are wrong and not wrong at the same time, and you focus on whichever is convenient to you, at any given moment, in order to excuse and draw attention away from your rank hypocrisy. You -do- have a god concept, and if you believe that the god concepts of others are somehow deficient and corrupt while yours are not, you're going to need to explain why..., swallow the pill you created for yourself, or be content with being called out as a hypocrite.

saying that a religion could have some truth to it but not completely true is the most logical thing you could say about religion nothing is created in a vacuum and theres a big difference between saying they are neither completely true and neither completely untrue and saying they are both true and untrue , what God concept do you think i have i say i have none i have no idea what God is why do you think i do when did i ever define God as having certain characteristics ?

Again, your god is the rigger of games. You use your god concept, at least in part, to explain something you do not understand - biology. That's -just- what you've shared with us, and I would find it to be miraculous if that's the only gap in your own understanding that you've filled with a god (or a "not god", rather - "an intelligence", depending on which of your contradictory comments I'm supposed to take as truthful).
Yet, you feel that it is appropriate to criticize others for doing so. To call their concepts corrupt for what yours is plainly and demonstrably guilty of as well. Pot, meet kettle.
