Wise position, I suppose in this sense I'm agnostic, but to paraphrase Dawkins, I'm as agnostic about god as I am about faeries. And claiming absolute knowledge can make you a close-minded person. I also liked your point about Zeus, you're right, he's just as valid as the christian god.

That's of course if the god happens to be a loving, caring one, like some theists claim. But because there's no evidence of a god, you can't really say anything about what his/her/it's attributes would be if it existed.

A warm welcome Renee!
 So did you have a sudden realisation of your disbelief or was it a slow process?

 Quote:So did you have a sudden realisation of your disbelief or was it a slow process? well i would say it was a slow process but then i never really fully [/quote]ever believed it was just something i was told to believe. i guess you could say i was one of those week Christians.  hock: Its the Year 2009 And the Entire World is still at war  over who has the most Powerful Invisible Friend.:bow::angel2:
Was it perhaps that you WANTED to believe do you think? Or HOPED there was a God? Or did you just not know of an alternative or something like that and/so as you said; you just believed it because it was just something that you were told to believe?
Or...other? EvF |
