The universe as portrayed by the bible and the koran is a pretty dull unimaginative place. Any atheist science fiction writer could do far better |

Insisting that a gay man spends time with men to become more "manly" because spending time with women made him more "womanly" was priceless. A bit like sending a man to prison when homosexual acts were illegal!

Religion is for people who NEED imagination, because they are mentally and psycologically too fragile, weak and feeble without it. But with which they talk themselves into living in a delusion about this world. Only MADNESS caused by "delusion" that those Muslims, for example, can go on killing innocant lives and try to "claim a place" in HEAVEN!!! Pathetic! |

Religon in one form or another has been a facet of human being since the dawn of time. Writing it off as "fragile,weak and feeble" denies an inherent spirituality within humans. |

Why? the proposition is man created GOD why is that hard for you to understand? Oh wait you're far to indoctrinated in your own faith to even begin to see what I mean, so I won’t bother to reply to you again. Merry Christmas Nic |

An atheist is someone who doesn't believe in the concept of God or any supernatural entities (if they're consistent). Now if you said man created the concept of God then that would be an logical position for an atheist to take, however saying that man created God is logically inconsistent with not believing in the existence of God. What do they teach in schools today? Clearly it isn't logical reasoning. |

Sorry missed that bit. You are right, faith has existed in ‘one form or another’ and because faith is so very varied how can anyone claim it to be the ‘truth’. I mean man has existed for what 60000 years ‘ish’ of these man has believed in god in his current form only 5 thousand give or take a few hundred (oh wait not everybody believes in a single ‘god’ even now). So what was he doing for the rest of the time? Are all those who lived in the 55000 years before he decided to show himself living in hell for not believing in him (despite the fact he didn’t bother to tell anyone he existed!) Why was he pretending to be an ‘earth mother’ or a ‘dog’ or many gods in the mean time? Perhaps it’s because we have made him/them up to suit of idea of what we should believe in. Nic |

I discovered how we all live in such an extreme world. Muslim says; Women, know your place, cover up your hair & body, your being is only for your husband. Average Joe; Go out on the razz, show off as much flesh as you can, expect to be glared at, and expect to 'slap a guy' in the process for the reaction you cause. |

I think that the statement, "Man created the concept of God but then that concept took on a reality in the mind of man" would sum up for me what Adams thought.
People are fee to believe that religion is a weakness, a lack of imagination or a mental illness if they wish. But the fact remains that 2 billion people are nominally Christian round the world and probably between half and two thirds of those actually genuinely believe it. There are approximately 1.3 billion Muslims, nearly a billion Hindus, some half a billion Buddhists or so...you cannot ignore religion. And religion is affecting the behaviourof people and governments as much as it ever did in many parts of the world. To create a more harmonious world, we would do well to try and unerstand where people are coming from. That doesn;t mean taking on their beliefs or customs..simply understanding what makes them who they are.

Told you! you are far to indoctrinated in your belief to understand a simple concept. MAN created GOD in his own image (or that of a dog or cow or any random animal, metrological event, they liked at the time) To say because ‘I believe this’ I am no longer an atheist really makes me wonder you were taught at school (or did you only go to a madassa! In which case that explains a lot) Any way I will not reply to you again (I swear on your god life) Merry Christmas Nic |
