Same here. Until one of them rocks up to my joint with a slab under each arm and says 'let's get tanked and watch the footy' then I will believe.

Ditto...
But while reading the main thread I couldn't get over the fact that you kept calling "god" "HIM".........
Probably a simple mistake....
A question to all the "theists" out there. Why would you insist on giving "GOD" a gender? I don't get it.

women engender, but the men are the tenders.
Mothers are one thing very special.
Fathers are... something very special.
when you get ahold of a real one.

I was ordained as a minister several years ago. Now, I am an atheist. Go figure.
If I had to choose a religion at gunpoint I would be a buddhist. Buddhists are one of the few religions that can say they never started a war in the name of their beliefs.
Most people wouldn't know god if he fell from the sky, landed on their face and started to wiggle.

Would you rather have perfectly developed trapezius muscles and shaky moral grounding or be able to generate complex shadow puppets but comprehend absolutely nothing said to you between the hours of 3 and 4 pm?

If God* was a she, I would.

I think I get it now.
Mothers do the real hard work of physically growing a human.
Fathers pay the rest of the attention for about 22 years.
Women like to say yes, and men have to say no.
women do the biological stuff, men do the psychological.
*cough
once in a while.

But Buddhist extreamists have blown up subways in Japan. There are wacked people in every religion who do not express the opinions held by the majority of their faith.
Ic0n0, do you believe in religion? There are many religions that are not dependant on an all powerful "God". Just currious.

I don't really believe in God. However, I believe that just about anything is possible... even God.
But I don't believe that if there is a God, Heaven, and Hell, that I would be condemed to Hell, just for not believing in God.
And if he WOULD send me to Hell... Then fuck him! That's not somebody I want to worship anyway.

Quote (ic0n0 @ 20 July 2002,10 ) | | I don't believe in the many gods of the Hinduist religion, |
Hi hi
Just a minor correction there... Hindu's don't believe in many gods, as many people assume - we believe in a single god. The many gods that most people assume we believe in are just different manifestations of the same god, performing different functions - Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva - Creator, Preserver, Destroyer - but ultimately the same dude just doing three different things.
That said, tho i'm born a Hindu, i'm about as agnostic as you can get <!--emo&

...exactly: shiva ifrit ramuh odin leviathon and knights of the round don't forget the choco+mog
i think the arguement of not being able to see a god is silly seeing as you're relying on flawed sensory perceptions. I mean you cant see a guy standing behind a wall but he might be there. i'm not saying i beleive in god as this kind of discussion really fucks me up (the whole self aware + knowing you're going to die fucks with my head) but the arguement of not beleiveing in something you cant see for yourself is about as stupid as people beleiveing that they'll go to heaven if they strap c4 to themselves and go blow up some jews.

There'll be time for explanations later... and hopefully, some sex
