Buf-Phoon loitering with intent Lifetime Members 13,318 Member For: 21y 4m 15d Gender: Male Location: Zombie Birdhouse Posted 01/06/13 01:37 AM Share Posted 01/06/13 01:37 AM Understanding that this is somewhat provocative( and will be no doubt shut down) I am thundering down the path of inevitable death. I understand my own mortality. That said I was raised as a CofE child and have not an ongoing faith of any description and am completely ambivalent to the whole concept of a God. Each to their own I get.that. This is not a versus thread. Just trying to understand that so many on the planet believe in god and I don't ? Why so many millions of deaths in the name of a God? It is Gods way ? If there is a supreme entity why so many faces and traditions going back to the beginning of time? The Catholic Church is one of the biggest money making machines ever created? What actually is an infidel as all sides have them? I don't want to divide but wan't understand why billions of people at the ending of the day believe in what seems to be the same thing. Killing in the name of what ? The concept of blind faith is something I just can't get my analytical mind around. Give some facts so I can put it to bed. People like me are curious is all.

They are never going to prove it. They just claim to have faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 1m 9d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 01/06/13 03:38 AM Share Posted 01/06/13 03:38 AM (edited) If not for religion (specifically, wars in the name of) we'd have a billion more people crowding the place up, so that's one thing to be thankful of? Too bad for those who died and are dying because of it...I think those who need unconditional comfort that there is more than a finite end to consciousness are those who enjoy having a faith. For me, I prefer the scientific view of the world to the exclusion of belief in a creator entity, or afterlife.Also, there are many who claim faith but don't practice the tenets in daily life, to the point of total hypocrisy. This lowers my respect for the institution as a whole. I don't assume an individual is an idiot because of their faith though. It's fine as long as you don't try to impose it on myself or others. Live and let live!I also find I don't need to live in fear of Satan (or other punishment) to make me want to treat others nicely, but that's what it takes for some I guess.

I do believe in most Christian and other religious edictsas these are generally a good start to being a decent personI fail however in not coveting thy neighbors wife.I just see that as sport and the natural order of things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
