https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tABnznhzdIY I'm a Deist, personally. The creator of the universe is all-powerful and alien in a sort of Lovecraftian sense. Humans can learn to live and work together and become a more significant part of the universe, or we can go extinct; it really doesn't make a difference to God. Sorry that social pressures have convinced you to worship a book, OP. Mc Do Well fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Jun 26, 2014 |

The existence or nonexistence of God is a completely separate question from the existence of an indestructible self (the soul) and life after death.

Fandyien posted:but it would've been okay with God if the Japanese still slaughtered like fourteen million Chinese people? god sounds racist as heck All events in human history center around Europe and all events in the universe center around Earth, duh. HumbleBeforeYou posted:Also: G-d, the Creator of Heaven and earth, is: not omnipotent, but extremely powerful; not omniscient, but knows the past and present wholly and fully, but not the future, for he can only foresee and predict it. This is an other reason why G-d is still a being in which you can and may have faith. That isn't God, that's Uatu the Watcher from Marvel Comics.

ISIL tries to listen to God and He tells them to implement medieval punishments. What's up with that?

Thanks for being honest, OP, I hope you are seeing a professional about your mental health. This does bring up one of the more interesting philosophical things about religion/God - the challenge of reconciling our subjective, personal perceptions with an objective reality that we can never fully grasp. Ayn Rand would of course tell you that by rejecting belief in God an individual becomes a rational actor with a completely objective perspective.

Who What Now posted:Why is god always a lame dude and not a hot rear end lady? Wrap it up Christianailures. Why does God have a gender at all? I just use male pronouns out of convention but if there would be one completely reasonable instance of using 'Xe' or whatever it would be in refefence to God.

Sakarja posted:1) you're a sentient sack of meat; your conception of personal identity is nonsense and your entire life is a sequence of random events without meaning or purpose, to which you merely respond through various chemical reactions This is the objective reality of biological life on Earth. I'm sorry you are personally uncomfortable with this. Negative Entropy posted:Isn't reincarnation inevitable? What do you mean? If you define reincarnation as 'you become worms and plants' then yes. Tibetan Buddhists practice Sky Burials so you get to become a bird.
