What's this have to do w/ God having a gender? The only differences between a man and a woman are the reproductive organs and why does God need to reproduce? What does God even need gender for if he's omni(etc.).

I think religion is something humans developed to derive order in a universe that seems to be chaotic and doesn’t really like us as a species. So yes I believe in “Religion” but I do not believe it is anything more then a desire for order, a way to come to terms with the pain of reality. Life is suffering after all. I do not practice any religion because I have come to accept that I will die, and I will never know everything and that I can die tomorrow for no good reason. I do not need someone else to tell me i am a bad person for not going to church and i do not need a 2800 year old man to tell me what the meaning of life is.

Some people say he had a kid, but he never was married to the mother. You can read all about it in my new book "Jesus Was a Bastard Child".
I think God used some kinda super-roofies to get into Mary's panties ...I mean, she was a virgin and was with that Joseph guy so I figure God had to be up to something kinda shady when he knocked her up. JMO
BTW ...I'll send a postcard from hell and let you know what it is like. I bet it will be like Vegas ...very hot and with lots of strippers.

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. |
I DID?

I can't resist this sentence:
So, do you mean to tell me that you believe in neither X-rays, gamma rays, or even, for that matter, a large number of gaseous elements?
Just asking.

You can do experiments to see if those exist. You can't do an experiment to see if God exists.
If you could, we would have had this whole religion thing figured out a long time ago.

That's why I call myself agnostic. I can't prove there isn't a god, and no one has been able to prove to me that there is. Too many of their arguments are circlar:
"You want prove god exists? Are you here, alive, talking to me? There's your proof."
That's basicly the mentality most people have used to try and convince me. I'm a skeptic at heart, so you have to give solid proof to convince me. Same goes for there not being a god. After all, I am here

And when people tell me what is OK and what is not, it should not be unexpected see, I extend my middle right hand digit and say "Hey, would you like a lemon or lime with that piece of advice, Mister?"

but you're reasoning that god doesnt exist because he doesnt slap you in the face and go hi i'm god. you're assuming that the only way to prove if something exists is via just the rules of our universe and "God" by definition if he does exist exists outside our physical laws.
the worlds obviously flat because i've never seen it otherwise.
agnostics make sense they accept that there may be things beyond our understanding. atheists are just as ignorant as someone who beleives in religion (comparison made under the assumption that for arguments sake there isnt a god) atheists are assuming that what we know NOW is the truth. you're assuming science can answer everything. shoot back 2000 years and people are assuming that religion can answer everything. you're just a modern day closed minded person

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