To paraphrase Carl Sagan, if god(s) always was and is, has no beginning and end, why is it so hard to apply the same to the universe and remove the supernatural and focus on the natural?
Quote:Why do atheists have to make it difficult by claiming he isn't real?
Because it's bullshit.
a) Why do you think it's a he? If a being of that magnitude existed, and is the only one, gender is absolutely irrelevant.
b) Which gods?
c) Why do most of them require worship?
d) What is a god?
e) If humans are made in the image of a god and it thinks we're mighty special, why is it that in the observable universe we have yet to find another place where we can exist without aid from our own technology?
f) Why the faulty holy scriptures everywhere?
g) Why does the belief in god(s) seemt to correlate with geographic location?
And the list goes on..
(Just so that we're clear, these are examples of why atheists make it 'difficult' and are not questions I expect to get answered.)
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
