Well then you've read it wrong. What it means is that I find the concept of god to be childish, like believing that you have a real relationship with your action man.
And I don't believe it. I don't have a choice. I just don't.

I'll give you a challenge.

Stop believing in god for a minute.

If its a choice you should be able to start believing again once the minute is up.

Now...go..

How that work out for ya.

That isn't what happened.

My opinion is that gods are unbelievabl;e rubbish

dbp Wrote:I had heard of god and found it silly right from the get go at no point did the idea seem like one that I could deem a possibility.

Without an investigation into God there is no way for you to form an opinion He doesn't exist, it's an unfounded opinion that no one will take seriously. The word I put in bold above (seem) shows you have no real idea whether God is real or not.

What should I investigate?

What is a god?
What is it made of?
What does it look like?
Where did it come from?
I could go on but you get the general idea.

At the moment all I have heard of god are fairy tales and ill thought out "arguments" that all fail.

Its like asking me to study santa because you are sure he's true.

I use to believe that UFOs were true because I thought I saw one as a young person, it scared me and I ran home. After getting home I began to question what I had seen but didn't quit believing until years later. Investigating the possibilities of UFOs over the years and the distances they would have to travel led me to understand they were not possible.

Not impossible, just very very improbable but finally some sense. Well done.

And instantly you ruin it by actually gong against all available evidence.

I just posted an article where speciation had actually been documented in the wild in birds for the first time. You are so wrong it just isn't funny

Strange how it seems to be americans who cling to the old stories and ignore the facts.

Going to church is not "doing good" its just wasting time unless they serve a good coffee and have an active social calendar, in which case its a club.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.
