Re: Do you believe is God?
religous people are fucking idiots, mostly christians. but i do understand that society, moral and ethics were built mainly on christianity and that is also to have some religion, even if you think its bullshit. It does keep a balance, i couldnt imagine a world without religion.

Re: Do you believe is God?
The results of this poll just gave me a little hope for humanity.
No, and i think less of people when i learn that they do believe.

2.6 million answering with a yes as opposed to 282k with a no.
LOL, you clearly haven't seen the Facebook poll.

Re: Do you believe is God?
I personally would prefer to see the breakdown of those that believe i.e Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu etc. Obviously a belief in God is different for all these people. Would show far more than simply as y/n answer.

Re: Do you believe is God?
Religion is important; people freak the f*** out without divine direction, they need it to function. I view it as a necessary evil.
But that's my view, not worth any more or less than yours, whatever it is.
this would represent the more intelligent portion of the population though i imagine. The educated one's that value knowledge and success. Facebook is depressing at the very best of times lol!

Why is there so much propaganda in this thread?
It is insanely annoying when I know people are merely posting links in an attempt to convert others rather than engage in a reasonable debate.

Re: Do you believe is God?
It makes me very uneasy that people bring reason and evidence into their justification for their religious beliefs. They'll say, look at all this evidence 'miracles of the quran/bible', teleological argument etc...' But then on the other hand, to totally accept what is being said as true, you have to accept faith based leaps here, here and here. The casual mixing and switching between two different epistemology's at their convenience, this epistemology of convenience is so odious. Any problem should only be approached with one theory of knowledge, you don't fill the gaps with a new epistemology where the old one can't quite cover it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_fluctuation
Say you accept this idea that the universe is initiated by a force, this only leads to at most the god of einstein and carl sagan -"God to be essentially the sum total of the physical laws which describe the universe." - It's an argument only for an unknown initiating force creating the physical laws, not for any necessary relationship between this force and humanity - "This God is emotionally unsatisfying... it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity."
What would be more impressive than a temporal difference in authorship, would be a spatial difference. It's funny how god clustered all his prophets and authors regionally

Here is an example of something coming from nothing

It flows together because the authors read each others work, they weren't writing in a vacuum. Large parts of the gospels of matthew, mark, luke are identical, directly lifted from each other. Revelations is nothing like the other books of the new testament.
