Yea, the way my life is going is shitty. So if there is a god, tell him thanks for nothin asshole!

"God" was created by people who knew nothing...they created god's to have hope, and something to believe in. Their message and ideas just grew so strong that it lasted until this day....Most of it makes little sense. And the main thing is that everyone back then did not only know nothing, but they then passed these stories on from town to town, and let these rumors become even more imaginative.

Funny how people could talk to god back in the time of Moses and Abraham, and do all sorts of mysterious and divine things....but we see none of that today...

And what about other religions? Buddhists? Muslims? They believe in other things. Who's right? Are we right? And everything they believe in is lies? So we have a heaven, and when you die God makes sure you're not a muslim or buddhist before letting you into "his" heaven?

I want to believe. I want to go to a heaven. But it just becomes more and more difficult to believe as we become more intelligent.

Noise, i suggest you read the Bible.....

what is the purpose of life and who created it?

To create more life. How was it created? It created itself due to a perfect environment for life.

What makes you think I need to read the bible? I took religion for two years at a Catholic school. I think I got my fair share of both sides. We even studied the differences and similarities of religion and science....Science had much more logical explanations....while, as always, the religious arguments always seemed to rely on faith and believing. Most of the time they didnt make sense.

I agree completely. This is the only real answer.

i beilieve in god biggrin:

That explains alot about you.

Spiritual matters are mostly always subjective in nature: hence the lack of
empirical evidence. I've experimented with astral projections and honestly,
I can't deny the things I've experienced, considering the fact that what I
"saw" while out of body was corroborated by family members: how could I
see things they did while not being anywhere NEAR them when it happened
if I wasn't out of body for real ? Are you suggesting my ears somehow
picked up on EVERYTHING they were saying and heard and that I made up
the images in my head from there ? I don't think so man...

Science has answers for everything physical, but the meta and supra
physical is a whole different ballgame son: you shouldn't throw away
these things away right off the bat for lack of evidence because...

"Lack of evidence is not evidence of absence."

Ever play that game as a child, when you and a bunch of friends would get in a circle and you would whisper something to the person beside you and it goes around the circle and when you get the message back it sounds totally different than what you said in the first place? I view religion and the bible that way.

To believe that man is the be all and end all is a VERY foolish thing. I myself am not a wholly religious man, but I'm not an ATHEIST. I'm an agnostic, who simply believes that there IS something out there, we're just so far below on its 'mental food chain' to have any idea what it is. I mean, I refuse to believe that the universe is so simple a construction that ones and zereos are enough to figure out it's secrets.

Haven't you ever wondered just how you came into existence. I'm not talking about birth, and muscles, and neurons firing to move you around. I'm talking about YOU being YOU. That special sauce that allows us to "LIVE" and be sentient.

There is something more powerful out there, something operating on a higher plane. I just dont think we are even CLOSE to being smart enough to know what that is.

thot that game was called gossip or something

I think it was called telephone oOo:

prolly but o well

We called that game Chinese whispers.
