I would like to pose another question. If God is real and did create us, then why the mystery? Why does he hide from us? Why does he expect us to follow him on blind faith based on an ancient book. Furthermore, if Jesus was the son of God, why does he speak nothing of science? Nothing of technology or math? He speaks nothing of geography, history, he gave us nothing to improve the standard of living of mankind. He really didn't teach man anything but to worship God, and be nice to each other. I just wish there was something more to go on than the philisophical teachings of a man who lived thousands of years ago.
Jesus said "blessed are the meak for they shall inherit the Earth". If you look at nature though, what happens to the meak? They starve to death, or more likely they slaughtered. Ripped to fucking shreds killed and eaten by some other animal that wanted to rip the flesh from its body.
Also, you bring up a good point Blonde, many people here in America I don't think realize that there are a billion muslims out there, and another billion hindus. All of them are just as conviced as you are of their God's or gods' supremacy. Hindus have so much conviction that they don't even eat meat! Even eggs!
In Korea I hear they worship the god of rice. These religions to westerners would likely seem bizarre if not backward.
I'm not going to lie though. I believe in God. I've tried not to, but I was raised in much similar fashion to Blonde. Going to church every Sunday and shit. My family is not really like that anymore, and we haven't been to church in a good 10 years. My father, after being alive for so many years I believe has become disenchanted with religion. In addition, he has witnessed many horrible events transpire in the name of religion, such as 9/11. Now THATS conviction. Those guys flew themselves into a fucking building in the name of their God.
I guess I can't really say that I believe in God. Sometimes I'm just not sure. I'm leaning more towards agnostic or satanism. Not that I worship the devil, but I acknowledge God's existance and renounce him because he is an asshole.
