I didn't claim that it proves that God existed, though His existence is logical. I mean that our existence needs an explanation, and that the answer to that question has implications on how we live.

I suppose this means we should live our lives trying to reunite with the aliens. Incomplete and irrelevant...my belief may come down to solving the personal problem I have with evil - and is intertwined with the nature of human life in this universe (love, hate, reason, etc).
Rhizomorph Wrote:Scientology teaches that the great overlord Xenu sent rockets strapped with nuclear bombs and filled with people into active volcanos here on Earth, to solve an overpopulation problem on his planets. Why don't you agree with that?
This doesn't solve the problem of evil.
Rhizomorph Wrote:Let us not forget that the Invisible Pink Unicorn(BBHH) actually made this universe(I am only telling you now because I think you are ready) Why don't you believe in that?
I have no idea what that's supposed to mean, irrelevant.
Rhizomorph Wrote:According to the Necronomicon the blind idiot god Azagthoth sits in the center of the universe consuming anything that gets near him while spontaneously creating things that fly away from him if they are lucky. Leviathan was slain and the universe is created from her dead body. Why don't you believe in that?
Irrelevant.
Rhizomorph Wrote:I could go on, but the list is enormous and I am going from memory. There are plenty of creation myths and the fact that you have chosen one does not add value to it by any measure.
These examples aren't relevant to how I'm supposed to live life (or the nature of the universe, etc), so I don't really care about them.

I do understand how comforting the easy answer is though.
Rhizo
That sounds like the world's laziest worldview.
Do you understand how easy the lazy practice of not answering is? That's got to be the easiest thing to do...nothing.
Do YOU understand just what a stupidly unreflective and ignorant comment you have made? (one of many)
Here I simply can't help myself but respond;it's often much harder to remain silent. Most of the time some of us here really can't be bothered with you; it's like trying to communicate with an orangutan.
No, of course I don't understand that what I said was stupid.
