  When you get a book with talking animals and then people now actually take it seriously..................................................cuckoo

  I remember when I was at church the pastor told a story about how some geezer had his leg grow back after prayer. No evidence.....just what he'd heard. CONFIRMATION BIAS!!!!

  There were some old gals were praying for a blokes foot to heal.....they were p1ssed off when it didn't. This was when I knew religion was sh1t!!!

  God became the joke he is at that moment.

  Kate said-

  God is too busy creating things to bother about the suffering of humans, animals and other creations. God is indifferent IMO. Kate xx

  God sounds like He's rather greedy, trapped in the throes of uncontrolled 'materialism' (and has hoarding issues), since He's wanting more 'toys' than he can ever manage to play with?

  This thread reminds me of the times big rock stars don't show up for their shows. Now, you guys don't start like rocking news vans and knocking busses over, okay? No looting.

  I think I am going down the agnostic road. I see god in creation and good people but don't believe he's a hearer of prayer.

  Diest might be a better description, quelly.

  We will try to behave, FlyingHighNow, but we need to let off steam to relieve the pressure on our complicated, high octane minds.

  When the New York Times said God is dead
  And the war's begun
  Alvin Tostig has a son today"

  Separation of Powers

  Punk of Nice....Great thought provoking question..

  Here are a couple of reasons:

  1) He doesn't exist. Never has. Never will.

  2) He doesn't care.

  3) He does do tangible things, visible miracles each and every day. We just don't see it or simply don't appreciate it.

  All religion is based on something supernatural. What we conceive or accept as scientificly explained, ancient cultures viewed as miraculous. Most overwhelmingly incredible stories in the Bible and other "holy books" may well just be part of the legend building applicable to ancient societies, or simply made up to encourage conformance.

  Just a thought,
