On Belief In God

    It is an insult to God to believe in God. For on the one hand it is to suppose that he has perpetrated acts of incalculable cruelty. On the other hand, it is to suppose that he has perversely given his human creatures an instrument -- their intellect -- which must inevitably lead them, if they are dispassionate and honest, to deny his existence. It is tempting to conclude that if he exists, it is the atheists and agnostics that he loves best, among those with any pretensions to education. For they are the ones who have taken him most seriously.

    God is cruel and perverse? Education leads to the denial of the supernatural? Hmmm...
    You've made alot of assumptions about God and his character in your statements. Are you sure about this?

    Hi Big Jim,

    I can understand why it would be tempting for you and others
    to come to this conclusion. Everyone has to justify their
    views on an issue. Naturally, God too would understand this
    temptation.

    I think that it is: No matter how much u logically and rationally try and prove God's existence, u will never be able to, or dis-prove it, NEVER!!!!!!!!!!

    So u either have FAITH (blind) or U don't believe in him(coz he is MALE, u know) which is considered ignorant.

    It's as simple as that.
