That is a very interesting way of looking at this. Thank you, you have given me much to consider.I, personally, believe that there is a god. What that means, though, I have been struggling with for quite some time. Therefore, I pose the questions:
I am looking for opinion, obviously, I do not believe there will ever be proof, or empirical evidence (at least not until rapture, assuming that there is a god). What I am looking for here is what people believe. What leads you to believe what you do? Why?
- If there is a god, what does that mean?
- If there is not a god, what does that mean?
Let me be clear, I am NOT looking for evangelism of any kind here. I am looking for what the presence of god (or lack of a god) means to you. I know this is a pretty ambiguous thread, and I do that on purpose, because I do not ant to influence the way anyone responds. I want to open a discussion about what your beliefs (whatever they are) have shaped who you are, how you look at religion (in general), and how you look at the world.
If you believe there is a God then quite simply...in the barest terms...it means you arent Him.
No sarcasm. This is where you should start and consider the implications.
