thats the sort of comment i didnt really want posted. everyone is entitled to their beliefs.

the point of this topic is to question religion not outright slate it. this it a theology debate looking at the arguments for and against the ACTUAL existance of god. not if people are right or wrong

if you understand that buy description god is omnipotent, omniscient and benevolent, then evil can not exist.

but it does. = theroetically god can not exist!

Probably make's on sense on here but does in my head
And i dont believe in god

i didnt want to start personal arguments! and its not long drawn out drivel to sound intelligent.

if you were arsed enough to look up theology all the terms used are common language.

this is stuff you cant just spool of in "laymans terms" if you want a proper debate.

It would be nice to think there's something up there, but no I don't think so some how. And if there was a god would he really want you to go and worship him on a sunday morning? Would he want the church to control so much land and wealth? No. I allways remember my gran saying "where ever we go when we die it must be better than here, cos no one ever comes back" lol. Perhaps there's no fuel duty Lol

"Target Audience (Narcissus Narcosis)"

Am I sorry your sky went black,
put your knives in babies backs?
Am I sorry you killed the Kennedy's and Huxley too?

But I'm sorry Shakespeare
was your scapegoat
and your apples sticking into my throat
Sorry your Sunday smiles are rusty nails
and your crucifixion commercials failed
but I'm just a pitiful anonymous

And I see all the young believers
Your target audience
I see all the old deceivers
we all just sing their song

Am I sorry to be alive
putting my face in the beehive?
Am I sorry for Booth and Oswald, pinks and cocaine too?

I'm sorry you never check
the bag in my head for a bomb
and my halo was a needle hole
I'm sorry I saw a priest being beaten
and I made a wish
but I'm just a pitiful anonymous

And I see all the young believers
Your target audience
I see all the old deceivers
we all just sing their song
we all just sing their song

"the valley of death we are free
your father's your prison you see"

And I see all the young believers
Your target audience
I see all the old deceivers
we all just sing their song

you're just a copy of an imitation

Matt dont get me wrong, Im not advocating that "religion" persay is needed as a guide.

I use the Bible as a guide, I find it helps to steer me in the right direction, it lays down basic fundamentals for living life successfuly.
I dont think that you necesarly need to believe in Christianity nor indeed Judaism to realise that rules(hate that word) need to exist.

And Yeah, of course we make our own choices in life, some wise some not so. Thats life, experiance and where character is formed.
Christianity isnt about following a set of rules or being moulded into some kind of (i dunno what) Me, I'm far to spirited an individual to be a stereo typical religious buff. I dont do religion nor will I be told told what I must do.

Im sure a lot of religious folks would share your views too.

Thats what makes life interesting, im no different, I just happen to share different belief's.

Thats like the UFO question, time travel etc etc too, personaly Im not interested enough in the subject matter to go researching the different theorys. That doesnt mean in my mind that they arent possible or feasable, just that I dont find it important enough to bother about.

the beliefs tha ti live by are to do right to everyone with the ability to expect others to do right by me

and i also feel that everyone is free to live their own lives, their own ways, with their own beliefs with the priviso that those beliefs do not affect me or my family or are forcibly foited upon me by others who wish to change the way i live my life

so if someone decides that they need to believe that there are 45 gods living in his milk bottles then so be it, but don't ocme round my house like a jehovas witness and expect me to belive the same

we had a guy who used to work with us who was nicknamed "bless" because he owuld praise god for everything that happened in his life, and yet he was of the understanding that there was a theory of evoution and that the bible contradicts itself on lots of points

does he automatically become a heathen to other church goers?

hence why ive now switched to you tube links and the simpsons.

oh well it lasted a whole day.

final thought then, sorta my view on religion really;

The valley of death we are free
your father's your prison you see

And I see all the young believers
Your target audience
I see all the old deceivers
we all just sing their song

you're just a copy of an imitation

what always amazes me is that many people spend hours praying and effectively talking to god however when ever someone claims to have had god talk back to them this person is usually considered to be mad.

I fail to see how people can blindly believe that a god with no physical evidence yet exhibit suspicion or fail to believe people who claim he has spoken to them
