Quote:You worship god because you want to and enjoys kidding yourself, not because you are convinced that he materially exists to objectively reward you for the trouble.
I dont really doubt that a God exists. The question is, does God want to have a relationship with humans? Although it is absurd, that God would have a relationship with humans, I believe He does.
Quote:Sir, You are the worst kind of Atheist there is, but that's still better than any religionist. Welcome aboard but be sure to stay in the bilge and never show your face on deck
lol. I was in a bible study and they were all looking at me like I was an atheist, I was even challenged with Pascal Wager. Im not an atheist, Im a rational theist and a realist...
If you want to call me an atheist, cool. Just dont call me late for dinner!
Quote:You said he wanted to worship a higher power. He doesn't. He expressly stated that he doesn't believe in any god and there is no reason to assume that he wants to.
I have to admit, I feel sorry for Dawkins, he verses these theists who completely dominate him, because he isnt a philosopher. He spends quite a bit of time looking like a stunned mullet! Poor guy.
Anyways, I dont know, I will ask him one day, when I tell him that he has made me a better Theist, a rational theist.
Its ok to have doubt, just dont let that doubt become the answers.
You dont hate God, you hate the church game.

Your mind works very simply: you are either trying to find out what are God's laws in order to follow them; or you are trying to outsmart Him. -Martin H. Fischer
