My view and reasons for them. Atheist and Christians welcome here. (short)

[Edwardo Piet]

 

Isn't it convenient that all religitards everywhere manage to get born into a culture which just so happens to follow the One True Religion?  Almost miraculous.

I'm not religious.

How does your pantheism differ from atheism in any way in regards to what you actually believe? Is your pantheism a difference of belief or just a re-labeling of something that isn't a deity that everybody already believes exists (such as the universe)?

My opinion is this: You have been taught the steps, what more is your belief than that? I don't believe many people thought up the idea there is no God on their own since historically speaking, humans have believed a God exists. So I don't think they came to the conclusion themselves, but that this is something that is taught (or worse, they are simply believing in an antithesis). The point here is that people are not thinking for themselves.....

Good one, and one I've enjoyed for many years myself, too.
