(hint: it's "atheist")

(hint #2 - it's "theist")

(a little advice: if you really believe this, you might want to change your profile. Either that or don't be so public with your opinions. It doesn't put you in the best light.

)

Peace

"I believe in a god, but not one that is vengeful or interferring. "

...therefore, I do not believe in god.

I'm an agnostic if you must label me and merely an observer...

I find no solace in beliefs.

So, do you think that there might be a god, or do you think that there might not be a god?

Veil of Fire · 06-24-2002, 01:18 PM

That's the most arrogant crap I've read yet on these boards.

I ate Pascal's wafer:
Assuming we're talking about the god that created "everything".

Any god that needs me to worship him is insecure.
Any god that needs my money, is a fraud.
Any god that expects perfection, should design perfection.
Any god that needs to intervene, needs to go back to design school.
Any god that is understanding, should understand why I question his existence.
Any god that uses fear or hate, should not expect my love.
Any god that must make his presence known to man, should check his ego at the door.

Therefore, I cannot agree with mosts gods created by man.

I however accept that the universe is, and I can live a fulfilling life with or without a god.

Veil of fire:
I'm sure you'll find much more arrogant crap and I really don't care for any insecurity you may have felt by reading it. Thank you for offering your useless insight. Have a nice day.
