Really clemdog14?
Thinking that God exists is entirely rational for me.
I dont suppose you could put up the Kierkegaard ''faith is an absurdity'' quote in full could you?
I dont remember it.
We don't give one flying fuck if you THINK a god existing is rational. Muslims think belief in Allah is rational. Mormons think they will get their own planet as individuals after they die. Some idiots think Ouija boards work. Some people think the moon landing is fake, and every single one of them ALSO thinks what they believe is rational.
What you don't have is the same thing all those I mentioned above dont have, EVIDENCE!
What you all have in common however, is your vivid imaginations.
There is no such thing as virgin births or godsperm. Human flesh has NEVER survived permanent death(meaning death after irreversible tissue damage) and magically rose from the dead. In laypersons terms there is no such thing as a zombie god(flesh or spirit).
The bible is a book of myth, and so are the Jewish texts and so is the Koran, just like the reg vedas. Just like the book of Mormon. Just like Scientology.
Humans love superstition because it is easier than actually thinking.
