I think people who just have faith and don't overthink what is impossible to even imagine are just happier and more relaxed.God doesn’t give us everything we want so he can’t be true
people applying the same logic they have probably applied to their parents when they were dumb teenagers only to realise as they grow older that they were probably just being cared for
“My parents don’t let me do what my emotions want me to do, they stop me from blah blah blah, I hate them, they don’t love me, it’s a shame I can see you or I would denounce your existence”
It's a better reply than what Stephen Fry said.On an earlier post I mentioned 'creation myths' that exist all around the world that have existed for thousands of years before Christianity and Islam - none of them feature an old man on a fluffy cloud, to my knowledge...
Native North Americans often refer to this creator as the 'great mystery' or 'spirit' - sex isn't defined - religions that do define God as male tend to have a whole male dominated hierarchy as 'intermediaries' with a job for life - surprise, surprise...
The plains tribes believed that the great spirit gave them the buffalo ... the scousers, the benefits cheque ... is one more valid than the other? - both underpin a whole existence ...
Oh come on - I was never going to keep it completely serious
I was using Fry more as an example ... as I said, I'm open minded on 'how we came to be' ... but if there is a God, I will have a lot of questions - and will likely get banned even more than brb has done it
