Creation and G-d

[Esquilax]

I've been having this conversation on and off today, and there's really two paths one can take with this sin thing: either god designed it when he was doing the whole universe creation thing- making him either real fucked up or incompetent- or it happened by accident or satanic design- making him... well, pretty much one or the other, again .

Either way, I encourage you to keep questioning like you are, that's a good sign. Don't give religious ideas a free pass just because you believe in them, keep being intellectually honest. You seem pretty grounded, so I don't necessarily want to be mean to you, but I find your reasoning for believing in god flawed; just because you can envision a being that's better than you doesn't entail that this being existed. Nor do I think you can choose your beliefs, but that's a whole separate kettle of fish.

Welcome, regardless. You should make an introductory thread so we can all say hi, before you lower yourself into the shark tank like you have. It's the only uniformly nice reaction you're likely to get.
