A poor explanation on my part I guess. I was trying to say that if your religion is an expression of how you feel that the universe was created and how you think your creator thinks it needs to be run that is fine, but I am not going to let your artistic endeavor interfere with, or end, my life.

I look beyond myself all of the time, my interest in sociology and philosophy is an extension of that. Philosophy requires some reason to your thinking though.

That being said, if your reason for all of the flubdubbery is a desire for something more ephemeral or more powerful then you more power to you, but there is yet to be shown any form of first cause. Not even the big bang.

No it doesn't, but it doesn't make their belief reasonable. Without evidence or proof, it's fiction.

To borrow wisdom from Sensei Carlin:
"Millions of dead motherfuckers all because they gave the wrong answer to the god question.

You believe in God?

No.

*doomph*

You believe in God?

Yes.

You believe in my God?

No.

*doomph*

MIllions of dead motherfuckers..."
