[split] The Lord is God thread

[The Lord is God]

And all the bible contains is the religious ravings of some primitive, uneducated, illiterate Jewish tribesmen living a few thousand years ago passing their stories down orally for generation after generation until they were recorded - they didn't know fuck all about the nature of reality so they anthropomorphised nature and viola! GOD - Oh, and the God described in the Bible often comes off as a schizophrenic psychopath, just so you know.

This has nothing to do with religion. I did not state anything about religion. I was talking about the existence of God. The drawing of the animal that has no known parts, no known color, and no known shape cannot be drawn nor can you conceive it. As to a one hundred foot bicycle, a bicycle is a known thing and can be conceived or dreamed about as to what ever hight, color, or style. If God does not exist then why we are able to talk about Him and why would you ever argue that He does no exist if He truly does not exist. Is it so hard to believe in God? God is an authority figure and that would explain the dynamics of such disbelief or the removing of yourself to admit to a higher deity than yourself.

It is often argued that religion is valuable because it makes men good, but even if this were true it would not be a proof that religion is true. That would be an extension of pragmatism beyond endurance. Santa Claus makes children good in precisely the same way, and yet no one would argue seriously that the fact proves his existence. The defense of religion is full of such logical imbecilities. - H. L. Mencken

Religion is faith and practice and I never stated anything about religion. You did. I was talking about the existence of God. It is funny how people will not do the home work and they also go off point so much when I only stated one thing. The existence of God.
