God ? lol
no, humanity is better than that. IDK where he go from here.It has been the opiate of the masses for a long time, it will be hard to give up but we do have a new one now which is the celebrity culture.
when do they make the list? cos you could be in now but get pushed out later.
Ah, that's because politicians actually exist.You might also ask why anyone would vote for a political party that does almost the exact same thing, yet that has happened more than once...

well it's not a mistake, it's the number of people allowed. do you get kicked out cos you've already had some time, or are they just SooL cos they're late to the party?No because their God would be infallible, so he wouldn't make a mistake.

If their God is a complete **** (and the Bible confirms this beyond any doubt) then how can he be trusted to deliver what he's promised?So with that in mind, what's so wrong about desiring an eternity still run by a complete ****, but one who, at least, actually is as godlike as they assert themselves to be?
The fact that religions change shows that they are man-made. We all no longer believe in Jupiter and Mars. Dawkins “We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.”
Why would anyone want to spend an eternity in heaven
The flipside of that is that science has only kicked the can down the road regarding the fundamental questions around existence and god. What happened before the big bang? What's outside of the observable universe? Are we living in a simulation (simulation theory is, in some senses, modern theism anyway)?
Atheists like to conflate religion and theism in order to promote their cause. Ultimately people on both sides of the argument are guilty of the same thing, namely being unable to admit (to themselves as much as anyone) that they don't know.
I'll also add that I agree that a lot of bad things have happened in the name of religion as atheists like to point out, but in that sense religion is just a tool to enable those bad things (e.g. in the case of controlling people) or an excuse for them (war etc.). Religion or not there will always be warmongers and people looking to control other people, and they'll always find ways to achieve their goals or excuse their actions. It's not like everyone was all peaceful and lovely and then this big external force called religion came in and corrupted everyone.
If questions cannot be answered then they are bad questions and there is no point asking them.
Because science cannot answer them does not mean religion is better or right.
Atheism, no god or gods is the default for man. Most religions have a creation story, virgin birth, dust and blood, giant turtle, joining religion and theism therefore seem to be joined with or without scientists/atheists who do not need to invoke a supernatural being or beings. What is your point?
I would argue that it is the religious who have attempted to appropriate science's discoveries to further their cause. None of those discoveries were known about when religions started (current religions) which illustrates their man-made origin.
If we are living in a simulation it makes no difference - it can be set aside - there is nothing to do.
I belive in "something" even if it is not religion.
What is point?
What are we even doing here?
I don't believe in an abrihamic god.
But something is out there.

I believe in a thing called love
