I'd like to see the evidence for animals acting superstitious.
The more I think about it the more I do think consciousness is intertwined with deism. Our environment is truly awe inspiring, and in order to survive it, every post modern civilization has had varying degrees of deism. In order to survive we have adapted to be able to predict what could happen. In order to do that we had to understand causation. Clearly looking at this magnificent planet and its systems causes people to think about its origins.
I think deism was first and that the more we understand the world around us the more we are able to see the causality and not have to attribute its systems to a Creator.

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
