In continuing the discussion, I was just wondering what your response to this was name_taken?
Well, you even admit to creating this idol, to please yourself. Even to justify yoursef, to justify your rejection of the one true God. Its all artifical. You don't actually worship the Spagetti Monster, however I do worship God.
Unlike the Spagetthi Monster, I did not artificially create God as a means of justifying myself to you.
My love for God is selfless. Your love for your (admittidly false) idol is selfish (to justify yourself and your disbelief in God to me). Thus they are both fundamentally different.
Religions which preech other than Gods own word are like the worship of the Spagetti Mosnter, selfish and artificial. They are temptations away from God.
Now this doesn't mean that from a scientific perspective one belief is any different from another. So I would expect from where you stand, they are both the same, as is every other religion.
Mankind cannot prove the existence of a God. The only thing that makes people follow His word is their faith. There isn't a scientific or mathematical justification for this faith. Science is the study of what is observable in nature, and as such there are limits to what it can explain.
