Keep stroking yourself!
Quote: I've never heard any argument that adequately addresses the reasons why I believe in god. It's always the same ones, which are not convincing at all.
Oh yeah keep going!

Ooooh, Yeah!
Quote: It involves something else, and that something else applies to everyone. Not for one moment do I agree when people say or imply that logic and reason (as used by most) are the ultimate means of assessing reality.
Keep going! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke!
Quote:I've posted quite a fair bit on my beliefs, but briefly, I'm a panentheist, which means that I believe that the universe is part of god, but that god extends infinitely beyond it. I don't believe that god creates anything in the sense that we think of creation, I believe that god manifests, and that everything in existence is that manifestation.
Almost there! Almost there!
Quote:I came to that conclusion myself. Also I'm not involved in any religion. Good luck.
Contratz, you just idiot-jizzed everywhere.
