I know that death is a scary thing, but I'd rather face the truth than to delude myself with a "magical man in the sky." It's hard to believe that, in 50,000 years, we are still the same superstitious savages as our ancestors who quaked at the "thundergods". Funny how, if a disaster kills thousands, we always thank God if one is left alive. If I had the same odds for sucess, I'd be worshipped too. No thanks. I don't want your God. If He exists, he's a twisted loner who created us to keep Himself from bordom by torturing us. He's pathetic, really. But I know I won't change believers' minds. Their whole life is comforted by their afterlife dreams and, if they stopped believing, their lives would come crashing down. They can just keep believing in their magical dreamworld where angels fly around on dove wings and people get crucified, wonder why their "creator" didn't save them, and end up becoming mythical gods themselves.

Re: your Post #10.

I was saying the same thing about 20 years ago. So, your sentiments are not original in the least.

Psalm 14


The Fool Says, There Is No God
To the choirmaster. Of David.

1The fool says in his heart, "There is no God."
They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds,
there is none who does good.

I believe Christians believe in a Creator or Designer because of faith and/or reason. They beleive God can be seen by His handiwork - nature. The deeper we delve into Creation, the more complex it becomes. The human body is awe inspiring with it's respiratory, circulatory, nervous, skeletal systems...all controlled by information. Complexity with information equals a designer.

If God was a loner, why would He create others?

If your "odds" were 1/1000 at anything, you would be doing better than the mathematical possibility of spontaneous generation, but you would still be viewed as a loser.

We torture ourselves; God doesn't need to help us with that.

Death is not a scary thing for Christians.

From your post, I gather you are filled with hate and anger. You must ask yourself an honest question: Is the cause due to God, others or yourself? Find the answer to that and you may find peace.

You are free to believe whatever you want to believe, but I'm willing to bet that you have never even attempted to meet God.
