Sure, just about everything else is discussed here. I doubt we’ll come up with anything new though.
God isn’t the problem. Religion is the problem. The turn-off for most people that don’t attend church regularly is that every denomination thinksit has cornered the “real” truth. Christians believe the Muslims, Budhist, Jews, Hindus etc...all have it wrong and vice-versa.
Often in history, these differences of opinion have led to massive bloodshed.
Religion is a man made idea. Men establish rules and dictate you are going to “hell” if you don’t follow them. that is the big problem.
If you want to go in your back yard, sit under a big tree, look up into the sky and pray/talk top your god...that’s good enough for me. You don’t need to go sit in a huge elaborate structure with expensive stained glass windows in order to be “moral”.
George Carlin had it right when he said:
“Religion has actually convinced people that there’s an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever ‘til the end of time!
But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money!”
have your own relationship with god if you want. If it brings you peace, that’s great. just don’t go around and claim your particular brand of religion is the only one that’s true and the rest of us are stupid and/or damned.
