My hypothesis about why people don't believe in God.
#24
RE: My hypothesis about why people don't believe in God.
I tend to agree with your perception of human nature regarding superstitious crutches. I'm sure that if push came to shove, more people than not would recognise their own inner resourcefulness on what are popularly called spiritual matters and realise that human nature is far stronger and more capable than is often given credit for.

To quote that House thing again (another programme I've never seen but heard so much about):

Quote:You can have all the faith you want in spirits and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don’t be an idiot. ‘Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.

I'm thinking of having that put on a t-shirt.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
