Let's be honest

[Kingpin]

How do you see contradictions between science and a God?  I believe in a God of the whole show.

Perhaps you've chosen option 2 - the god of deism.  One that explains no scientific phenomenon, and has no effect on our lives.

But, you say you are a Christian - meaning you believe in an active God, who is in control of the universe, and who intervenes in the world.  That's a hard belief to hold without some cognitive dissonance.

I've been in Stage 1 as a True believer.  I consider myself to have been insane.  I then went to Stage 2 when I realized that the claims of an intervening God were false.  Eventually I realized is was all a myth, just like the myths humans have created for themselves throughout the ages.  We are myth-makers, especially when faced with the unknown.

That last line reads like the Freudian argument that God is a wish fulfillment to absolve oneself of guilt.  The problem with Freud's argument is that it works both ways.  If there is a God then denying that God also works as a wish fulfillment to not be held liable.  If there is no God, Freud's argument works perfectly.  If there is a God, it cuts both ways.
