Thanks for the example. ;-)
Frankly, I don't have enough faith to be an atheist.
Maybe this will add a little excitement to this thread.
"One man's theology is another man's belly laugh."
"God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent - it says so right here on the label. If you have a mind capable of believing all three of these divine attributes simultaneously, I have a wonderful bargain for you. No checks, please. Cash and in small bills."
"The most preposterous notion that H. sapiens has ever dreamed up is that the Lord God of Creation, Shaper and Ruler of all the Universes, wants the saccharine adoration of His creatures, can be swayed by their prayers, and becomes petulant if He does not receive this flattery. Yet this absurd fantasy, without a shred of evidence to bolster it, pays all the expenses of the oldest, largest, and least productive industry in all history."
""God split himself in a myriad parts that he might have friends." This may not be true, but it sounds good -- and is no sillier than any other theology."
"History does not record anywhere at any time a religion that has any rational basis...Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the unknown without help. But, like dandruff, most people do have a religion and spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from fiddling with it."
and last but not least...
"Men rarely (if ever) manage to dream up a god superior to themselves. Most gods have the manners and morals of a spoiled child."
Just can't help myself when it comes to things like this, everyone gets up on their high horses and starts spouting off about how great their religion is and how it is the only true religion etc etc.
You guys take yourselves WAY too seriously, have fun, life's short, you're gonna find out soon enough as it is.
Be good to each other, how hard is it?
