Well that's it then, I guess the point being made is that I should subscribe to some silly belief because this tool over here is building up his post count to gain access to the bt invite subsections. If god is all, then that would include god is an imaginary, idiotic, child-touching, slut-beating, three-legged, ping pong playing prick. Also, so is love.

to some extent I agree to your view that only weaker ones need God or need to believe that there is a God. The concept of religion and God has been misused by us for our own selfish motives for a long time. If you see now, all the religions are just money making businesses (Big Ones). A knife can be used to cut vegetables or to operate a person but can also be used to give pain or murder anyone and this holds true for everything that exists. Similarly, the concept of God has been exploited a lot but that does not mean that God would not exist.
Everything cannot be God because simply like a father and mother create a child, they are not the child. God is our creator but how it happened is still a mystery to mankind. Of course diff ppl have their own conclusions. People derive different meanings from what is written in scriptures or even manipulate the same.
I guess all I would like to say is whether or not you believe in God.......just use the concept to encourage someone, make them stronger cos if someone believes in God, their belief in God is the only concept which can be used to help people out of their misery. just be creative :)

My personal opinion is that Abraham was indeed a very wise man. The Egyptians would not allow the Hebrew slaves to worship any of their Gods, almost everything known to man was an Egyptian God. The only option was an invisible God and Abraham had the idea and contrived a way to convince the slaves of the existence of one.
Am I talking a load of crap? At least it keeps the thread alive.:lol:

A view, a vision, a distorted image produced in your mind. The result of stories told to you in your youth. That is god.
may be you are right. Discussion about God is something which can never come to a conclusion.
What matters is if this vision can be used to do some good to the mankind or not.......i believe that is more important

Psycho-analist if you're Catholic. :P

What is the cause of all causes? What is the ultimate cause? Has the universe always existed and all of "creation" is the work blind chance and chaos or is there an intelligent power behind it. The atheist is just arrogant and blind enough to declare, without any knowledge or evidence, that there absolutely can be no intelligent Ultimate cause. According to the limited powers of intellect the atheist may possess, he feels comfortable taking a particularly reasonable explanation for the existence of the universe off the table. Whether or not the atheist accepts or rejects any notions of God he is fool to imagine the only possibilities are that a non-sentinent universe has always existed or that it came into being only by blind chance.
