Who gives a shit whether God is real or not?

There are plenty of human theories that people have been using as excuses since the beginning of human opinion to cause war and turmoil.

Human beings are selfish. Perhaps this is because we only have knowledge of ever living one life. Perhaps this is because as far as our memory goes back, we can only recall our own experiences and recall the faults and accomplishments we make as the one person we've been our whole lives. We only experience loss, pain, acceptance, joy, glory, power through our own eyes. So, we live for ourselves and our own existence.

I think that God, or whatever is out there. I think I may also have taken millions of years to form through evolution. Or maybe someone did just pull out a rib of Adam and call Eve woman and through lots of inbreeding and mutations caused me?

I'm not a scientist. I believe that there is too much out there for scientists to ever know exactly what happened. I don't think it matters. I know that I'm selfish. I know that I'm human. I live for myself. That doesn't mean I try to be mean to others or put others at fault. Maybe I'd even sacrafice my life for someone else's, but it's in the decision of only MY mind, and no one else's. In consideration that I've only ever woken up to see my own face in the mirror and no one else's yet, I'm going to live my life. If there's something else out there, well, that'd be just wonderful.

Do I pray to God? Yes. Do I have doubts? Yes. Does Heaven exist? Who knows. Maybe. Maybe something totally out of spectrum, that the selfish human mind can not even imagine in such terms. I don't know.

I actually love this comedian

I've seen some of his other work too

I've been an atheist for years now, I won't have it any other way. I consider myself a "free-thinker." I'm also a bit of a naturalist. I wrote a research paper on William Cullen Bryant if any of you care to read it.

Oh, and for those of you that remember me, it looks like I'm back xD

YourBlueFevor, it's an excellent response, and I look forward to getting to know you better.

Just keep doing your own thing, but you seem like a free thinker too xD

The final step for me was just reading a book. There are countless atheist philosophies. Try The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins or The End Of Faith by Sam Harris. I learned a lot about science in The Selfish Gene by Dawkins, that's what explained the "creation" of the Earth to me, and that's what made me really think.

I'm also a BIG fan of the unsigned band Amplexus (Latin for "embrace.") You can find them here: myspace.com/amplexusrock . Anyway, they have a song called "A Sleepwalking Atheist" and it's excellent. Amplexus has brilliant, astonishing lyrics that try to get people to "wake up" and become something better.

I'll actually post the lyrics here:

Don't you trust that wicked lie
(THEY SELL FOR FREE)
Human hangers are just nature's novelty.
I'll protect you make good with all I have
(WE WONT LOSE THIS FIGHT)
I'll remind you

Here is the truth
Your mirror is the falsest god you'll ever know.
It has no soul and envies the pulse beneath your throat.
But gods they die slow
Before we commit deicide
Trust your eyes
And I will not let you fall.

It's not fair in the way that you judge yourself
They parade bones and skin on the cover page.
If we have to choose deicide
(IF THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED)
God is biting the curb.

Just say the word and I'll dance through glass,
Cut through the pain to show you how it teaches resolve,
I wont let them hollow out your hope

But gods die slow
Before we commit deicide
Trust your eyes
And I will not let you
Fall despite where you might jump from.
Gods will fall before I let you disappear inside this syndrome
(I've COME FOR YOUR BLOOD)
Idols made of conceit will meet their end.

I've climbed through the skies
And I stand here before you
Have you not heard me pleading?
This is the way this story ends

So I've come for your blood
And whatever else there is
I'm not taking your jive this is deicide,
Yeah, your gonna pay for your wicked tongue,
Bleed you till your bone dry.

The premise is that we are now worshipping superficiality, and that needs to be stopped in order for us to advance. I love them so much xD

Winnar

I think there is a possibility of higher etheral beings but not one entirely powerful omnipotent one.


(Or else wouldn't he eradicate pain and suffering? /shrug)

Either way we can't judge until we die.

Or you know if their is a God he likes messing with people that's why he made Earth...wouldn't that just suck.

FSM.

Well I don't care what anybody says.
God is real. Deny him? (Go ahead)
He forgives whenever you ask.
You want proof Jesus lived?! Alrighty then.
There is proof! Many people disliked
Jesus when he lived. These people
dispised him so much, they wrote
about him! They made scrolls. Full
of what Jesus did. I respect other religions
and Atheist too. I much rather you be honest
than be a hypocrite and lie about your faith.
In the end we will see who was faithful
and who wasn't. (Good Luck!)

Hi, zombie, I think it's great that you have all this input, but let's try to avoid too many posts in a row.

I'd appreciate it.

Yall fucked up... Nice job of claiming evidence and shit... but no presentation of evidence. Just claims and other bullshit lies
