What did monkeys and chimps evolve from?
Why are there still monkeys and chimps in the world today? Or did they just fail to get the evolution memo?
Since several people have already addressed this point after you already made the EXACT SAME ONE before, I'm going to assume you're a fat headed little cunt who can't comprehend even the simplest idea. GO BACK. READ THE RESPONSES. IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, ASK SOMEONE TO CLARIFY.
Failing that, get someone to help you reading. You've got one more chance before my foot evolves into a big hammer that gets lodged into your asshole, asshole.

As far as the other religions are concerned: Islam, Christianity, and Judaism offer something completely different than every other religion out there, and that's a personal God who wants a personal relationship with his people. Surely if there really is a God who created everything then he would want to be involved with his creation as it grew. If a god is not personal and doesn't want a personal relationship with his creation then he's not god. I have an adopted sister and I gave her the opportunity to meet her physical parents and she told me "no, mom and dad are my parents not them. They abandoned me so there's no way I could call them my mom and dad." If you have a child but never communicate with it then you're not their "parents" the people who care for him are.
I don't see what any of this has to do with anything. We were discussing whether things were true or not, and the safety of putting all your eggs in one basket when you could face consequences if any of the others are correct. What they 'offer' is irrelevant. Do you think you've nullified Pascal's Wager with your post?
Also, your analogy of God and parents doesn't work in the least. You're saying that if something created the entire universe but then lost interest in the creation, that it would not be God? Even though it would have enough power to obliterate you with a thought? Are you sure about that? And on what basis do you assert that 'SURELY God would want to be involved with his creation?' And why is that? Don't you think it's a little audacious to even suggest what God's opinion on that would be?
Given that comment, answer me this: If we could show that your God wasn't interested in humanity, would that mean he wasn't God, and would that fuck up your belief? Because I think I could make a fairly compelling case.
Quote:And with morals, society does that anyway. Even if you were to reject everything you were told about morals and make your own moral code it would be shaped by something, the law, society, religion, etc.
Yes, society does that anyway, correct. So we need religion because...
