Enough of this crap, I want to hear directly from god

RE: Enough of this crap, I want to hear directly from god
Regardless of whether there is a god or is not a god, the tendency of children to give purpose to natural phenomena and to imagine shit is a fact.

Maybe there is no god - and we do that.
Maybe there is a god - and we do that.
Maybe there is a god - and we do that...for reasons entirely unrelated to their being a god.

I could continue. This question you posed is uninformative, and if it forms the basis of any of your beliefs about god I would say that you're doing god a disservice. That human children tend to do anything, in this case give purpose to things, is no indication that there is any god, or..if there is a god, that god is in any way involved in their doing so.

It's something that we do, and rather than asking others how they explain it you might well want to ask yourself why you can think of no explanation for the behavior of children outside of something about god. What do you think about the conjecture on it's own merits - aside from gods? The conjecture of purpose? My kids say chickens are for laying eggs, aristotle said that the telos of an acorn was to grow into an oak.
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!
