if god didn't exist...

[shuu]

...why would he let millions of people believe in him, worship him and dedicated their lives to him in vain?

Brilliant!

not existing does have the unfortunate side effect of not being able to stop people worshipping you.

i'll tell you what though, if you worshipped me and i didn't exist I'D sure come and tell you to stop . . . . once i figured out how to exist . . . . . although then maybe you SHOULD worship me with me existing and all

he's god, he can do anything

Because majority of humans seem to have this belief that they are a complete different entity then anything else in this universe =\ and that we came from the heavens. We just evolved more then other things but are just as closely related to everything else in this universe and are just apart of a huge circle.

Most people when having no where else to go need some kind of hope, they create a god so they have something to rely on and tell their conscience well there is hope, there's 'god'. By telling themselves that it forces them to keep hope and be able to get through whatever the fuck it is so they claim it was god who helped them when it was just themselves doing it subconsciencly.

I guess you can claim our brain is god, my belief of 'god' is everything in this universe. God is a not a him, her, it's not a person, an animal, a spirit but god is everything that exists.

Do you know how many other planets there are that contains some sort of life form? Millions. We are nothing special. Besides your reasons for believing in god is incredibly poor.

People are afraid of dieing and don't wanna believe when we die, we die. That's it there's nothing left, no after life no nothing. Just like anything else on this planet that dies, once it's gone it's gone. I agree it does make me feel better if I believed in going to a different place when I die and that my life wont be over completely but that isn't the way.

New age? That's just my own belief... If others believe that I'd like to meet them.

Honestly, stupid fucks that believe god is a thought processing being is such bulshit. I have never read a bigger fairy tale then the bible and the commandments? Get the fuck out of here, that's just common sense.

Why doesn't god speak to anyone nowadays? Wheres all the 'magical' like people/things; moses, burning bushes, people turning to stone and whatever the fuck else the bible bulshits about? A senior citizen built a fucking super tanker by himself and collected every single species, now what the fuck.

The more gods a civilation has, the dumber they were. They created gods to explain what they couldn't explain/understand themselves. Now with pretty much only 1 god left which is the 'creator of all things', is only because we have yet to understand or discover how all of this came about... But we are more and more, finding out that humans are nothing more important or better then anything else in this universe.

That idea is hardly New Age, much less bullshit.

Among many others, the Sufi Muslims realize it.

Good for them. This concept of God doesn't really make him much of a god. My dictionary defines 'god' as "a supernatural being, who is worshipped as the controller of some part of the universe or some aspect of life in the world or is the personification of some force". Note the 'personification' part. What is the value in worshipping the personification of a force? Should we worship gravity?

Because we humans are some stupid motherfuckers?
Christ, if OJ Simpson could get off innocent, I'm sure a couple of guys could write a book that a few people believed and passed onto their negligent friends, thereby starting that shit.

I'm sick of hearing shit like this. The bible isn't some fucking book that 'a bunch of guys' just decided to write for a 'pratical joke'. It is several books that started as an oral tradition, the mythology, folklore, history and legal documents of a society.

Yes, but how did all these oral traditions and myths come together as the bible? And for what purpose? This is what is important.
