You are comparing apples and oranges as there is no physical evidence which directly indicates the existance of a deity.

You have answered your own question if you will only suppress your intelligence long enough to see it. God is by definition infinite. Proof would make Him finite, therefore destroying His existence as God. So, where do you go with that? A paradox or a reminder that there is something beyond our abilities?

If you want to ponder a little more, caution!, it may require unsuppressing your intelligence, ponder existence, not just of yourself and/or God, but as a definition.

See thinking can be fun far beyond this equals that, cause and effect.

"Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe-a spirit vastly superior to that of man.... In this way the pursuit of science leads to a religious feeling of a special sort, which is indeed quite different from the religiosity of someone more naive."

--Albert Einstein

One of my favorite quotes. Thanks for posting this!

Don't forget, "GO BACK TO DU, YOU (FILL IN THE BLANK)"

Yeah, that's a REAL neat one...Just because I refuse to call Islam a cult and I don't hate ANY Muslim, I belong on DUhhh.

Of course the funny thing about that comment is that I DO post on DUhhh...It's fun shaking the monkey cage while acting as one of their own!!!

Great comments E Rocc & hchutch, I think I just found my alter egos. Being a "newbie" (but a long time lurker)I was surprised to find so many interested in "South Park". (Maybe there really "more like me" and I'm no Gen'xer!!) My sense of humor sometimes draws strange looks from my conservative cohorts but they eventually catch on!!

I get the same crap on various issues. Because I don't think gays are evil, I support pederasty and bestiality. Because I oppose the War on Drugs, I'm a pinko.

Well we got Linda's vote probably.

[HairOfTheDog]

Since we are making confessions, I care about the environment.

If God is infinite than am I part of God?

Certainly! (Well, maybe everyone but you. :-))

Do you think there is a unifying theory (force) of the universe, though yet to be detected and described by science? Einstein did and others did/do. If there is a force/energy that is common to all, and God is greater than even that, wouldn't you be part of that and that part of you? Now if you could tap into that, to feel it and to commune with it, perhaps even use it to affect things, as in prayer, wouldn't that correspond with the general idea about God and the Bible? Just a thought.

Religion requires you to supress your intellect.

That's the least intellectual thing I've read all day. What makes you think that religion requires you to spress your intellect?

[Hemlock]

I look at libertarians as republicans minus the Pharisee gene.

Excellent! I'm going to use this line from now on with or without your permission.
