I just asked Jehovah.

He says that he's an atheist as well.

it's the way the Bible presents god! If his own book makes god look like a abusive, dysfunctional madman, well, you don't have much to work with!

I love it when earnest Christians try to "soothe" me into believing in God by saying, "We understand how you can lose your faith in God because of what the Watchtower's done to you." What a load of shit. It wasn't the watchtower that put me off belief in God; it was the Bible with its blood-thirsty, vengeful, jealous-natured God.

I don't believe in Jehovah God or Jesus Christ - but even so, I think I'm more of an agnostic that athiest.

Jesus says he's an agnostic.

Semantics. Sheesh!

I don't consider my self an atheist strictly speakin, I believe in the God&Godess archetype which are part ot the collective unconscious.

Jung dreamt a great deal about the dead, the land of the dead, and the rising of the dead. These represented the unconscious itself -- not the "little" personal unconscious that Freud made such a big deal out of, but a new collective unconscious of humanity itself, an unconscious that could contain all the dead, not just our personal ghosts. Jung began to see the mentally ill as people who are haunted by these ghosts, in an age where no-one is supposed to even believe in them. If we could only recapture our mythologies, we would understand these ghosts, become comfortable with the dead, and heal our mental illnesses.
Critics have suggested that Jung was, very simply, ill himself when all this happened. But Jung felt that, if you want to understand the jungle, you can't be content just to sail back and forth near the shore. You've got to get into it, no matter how strange and frightening it might seem. ........
The outer world is called maya, meaning illusion, and is thought of as God's dream or God's dance. That is, God creates it, but it has no reality of its own. Our individual egos they call jivatman, which means individual souls. But they, too, are something of an illusion. We are all actually extensions of the one and only Atman, or God, who allows bits of himself to forget his identity, to become apparently separate and independent, to become us. But we never truly are separate. When we die, we wake up and realize who we were from the beginning: God.
