It sounds good if one of your convictions to be tolerant.
Otherwise having strong convictions is analogous to unwavering devotion to a fixed belief.
One does not have to be tolerant in order to have strong convictions but must be tolerant enough to not waver in those convictions.
Translation:
I do not have tolerate you to have strong beliefs but I tolerate you enough to not influence me to change my beliefs.

...but believing in organized religion is not logical in comparison to simply believing in a "creator".

Creator?
Some think that Nature IS the Creator, and no one can dispute or disprove that belief, any more than they can disprove any other belief.
As only females (and hermaphrodites etc.) can create life... why is "God" most often portrayed as Male?
Always wondered that...

It does work out that the spinning of the planet helps us not to float out in space.
I'm well versed in the science of things.
I know many folks explanation of things is, "well it just is".
I just believe something intelligent set it in motion.
God is "portrayed' male because we live in a male dominated world. God is perceived as the biggest dominator.
Females need a male to create life. Hermaphrodites don't.

See?
This is why we need tolerance...
If we could break down what we are all trying to say into symbols, rather than what we have grown up with in far from perfect languages and cultures...
I wonder how far apart we'd all actually be?
I cant believe any "Creator" would have the sin of "Pride" to such an extent that he'd wish to be worshiped in a certain way, or at all...

Why create something more complex than our universe (a creator) to explain how our universe came to be? That simply defers the question to "who created the creator?"Originally Posted by Busyman
People tend to say that God has always been, so he has no beginning and no end, he is "outside" of time. That is about as meaningful as saying that there is no God and the Universe has always existed. Mere speculation.
Creating a God is mans' attempt to make sense of that which he cannot comprehend. A coping mechanism to negate the thought that our lives are as evanescent and pointless as a puff of smoke.
As for oxygen and carbon dioxide, that system works because that is what is available. If plants gave off hyrogren sulfide, whatever animals alive would "use" that. The ambient conditions of our planet dictate what works and what doesn't. There is nothing magical about oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Aren't we in the trust tree, thingey?

Just another imho...type thing
Well that's going into organized religion.Originally Posted by Rat Faced
