You must love discussing this stuff with us! hehe. We're happy if you're happy.
fight the good fight!
Why I rarely bother discussing these topics (with anyone - (I'm in it for the dirty jokes!)) is that if you were born in eg: middle east, china, Eastern Europe, Africa etc, all your "absolutes" would be different. This categorically proves (to me) that the whole notion of "which god" and "objective morality" is subjective and relative.
So basically your most personal beliefs are a direct result of the geo political climate you happen to be born in.
Catch tomorrow.
Thank you so much for the kind words, but you are giving me way too much credit!
I actually do not have to get up early to work. My husband had to get up early to work, and I like to get up with him to see him off and prepare his breakfast/lunch. I actually don't have a job currently. My husband is an Air Force pilot and we currently live in a very small town in the Middle-of-Nowhere, Texas. So I stay home and take care of house work and of our cats.
I agree with you that if I was born in the middle east I would probably be Muslim. I'd like to think I'd convert to Christianity, but I cannot say for sure since I have never been in that position.
Either way, I do not think the fact that there are many religions out there is a disproof of God. I believe it makes it tricky to *choose* one and have faith in it, but I do not believe it disproves all of them. In the end of the day, ONE of us is right... even if that is you, fellow atheist!
You're obviously happy with your religion. I should point out though is that you never had a choice in the matter.
Your indoctrination made sure of that. (I don't say that in a bad way)
If you were born a muslim, you would've been equally proud of that religion as the ONE TRUE religion. (Again via indoctrination)
An extremely small % of adults find god or convert outside of childhood indoctrination.
Anyway, on to the serious stuff now! I've got "HachiBabba", my chocolate oriental sitting on my lap as I type this! (spoilt beyong repair)
What sort of cats to you have? We have several "crazy" cat ladies here also.
catch...
No God, No fear.
