Logic has driven me to I. No idea. As a child I kinda believed cause I was raised going to church, but kept getting bogus all encompassing answers from Sunday school teachers. So doubt sprung up. Granted , the all knowing SS teachers were not the brightest, but hey, they were the rep.
Then somewhere along the line, after college, I thought " If this is true, I'm going to hell the way I'm living. If I believe then I would have to be a total dumba$$. I'm not a total dumba$$ so I must not believe." Of course, the premise could be wrong and I am a dumba$$, but the result is the same. Because if I am a DA, then of cours I have no idea.
So, where was I? oh yeah, no idea. Mr. Sklansky, could you quote me some odds please?

I guess this only addresses one type of God though. More addresses the heaven and hell issue. I would say I believe in Man's ability (lack of ) to comprehend the concept. Like a blind man cant' describe red. Am I agnostic?

The being we call god is merely a pawn working for a powerful and rational force in some far-off galaxy. This force is trying to weed out people who are irrational by seeing who would be stupid enough to believe in his god illusion so easily. Those that believe in this illusion, he will send to eternal damnation and he will deliver the rational beings, those who stoically refused to believe in a god, to heaven.

None of the above. I see a huge difference between spirituality and religion. Trying to discuss this sort of very deep subject on a very shallow level is like pissing up against the ocean.

J. There is no God of any sort.

I'm INTP (should that be "an INTP"? is INTP a noun or an adjective? Both?) ... I need things logically defined with proofs and all that jazz. So far, no dice from God. There was a big bang, then there was a huge string of amazing luck, and much later, my parents went to bed early one night...

I actually really hope I'm wrong, because death is a lot less scary when you believe in Heaven. The whole "cease to exist" thing scares the piss out of me. But besides that, I don't really have any need for religion. I consider myself to be lucky in that I was allowed to make up my own mind about the whole God thing. My sister is a pretty devout Some-Christian-SubType-I-Can't-Remember. So, evidently our parents did a pretty good job of not pushing one thought or the other. I guess it helps that my mother is an atheist and my father is general-christian-spiritual-but-not-into-organized-religion.

Anyone else think all these religious people need to come up with better names for divisions of their faiths? I can't keep them straight.

Hi David,

How about this one:

L. There is a God, who wants nothing more than to have a passionate love affair with each and every one of us, and to see each and every one of us so consumed by and suffused with that love, patience, kindness, and forgiveness that we cannot help but to manifest those qualities in our every thought, word, and deed.

All available evidence points to either I or J. If the TRUE ANSWER is anything approaching A through E, then a close look at history suggests that God is a prick, and I choose not to worship him anyway.

My opinion: J.

Of course, should the answer be A through E, I am now most certainly going to Hell.

Ah.. Alpha and Omega,

One perfect and complete all encompassing omnipotent spiritual being with incomprehensible levels love and understanding. Who's devine spirit permeates and is the base of all things, earthly and not of earth, visible and invisible, explicable and inexplicable, living and dead. Who is the potentate of all time and space and the foundations there of, and defines infinity as it is held within his righteous palm.

his will be done
