God damnit tegh. I happened to be drinking tea at the time of reading your post.

It made me laugh, and the tea came out my nose. Angry

If you're drinking tea while reading Tea, you're going to have a bad time.

Because I have no reason to believe in god (peremptory note to theists: fear is a reason to pretend to believe - it does not convince).

The world makes sense without a god. Once you start trying to shoehorn in an omniscient benevolent all-powerful deity, that's when nothing makes sense.

Quote:"I don't know" is a perfectly acceptable answer.


"No one knows" is an even better answer...especially religious morons waving stupid old books of bullshit. The best answer is that science has yet to determine the answer but that "goddidit" is certainly wrong.
