Did you not take into consideration that we were very well off scientifically until the catholic church took over up. Science was pretty much dead from then until the renaissance. Nice try though. | ||

Not contained by our dimension, laws of physics, or matter in any way, He could even be some sort of substance which we cannot comprehend being limited in this dimension. I just want you to know that if there is such a being, he really doesnt care if you masturbate, if you have premarital sex or any idiotic stuff dude, if you truly belive in a higher being give it some credit! | ||

And well for me, its a gradient from Smart (not raw IQ) to dumb gradient. Considering an Atheist (self convinced atheist, not "i havent tought about it" atheist) the most advanced level of thinking and the most ortodox religious people as the most idiotic. so lets say that in my personal sacle you are like this: Self convinced [----||-----------------------------] Idiot. Atheist. Keep in mind this is in a way of "stupid", not IQ nor other aspects, this is about introspection and actual thinking. | ||

I think we can all agree that if this is all there is, just this earth, and no mysteries in the universe, then this is a sad fucking existence we are taking part in. well theres a big diff between believing there's mysteries and believing some earthly mythical tradition tells you what the mysteries are. if u believe there's something beyond our reality and something more to our significance, our feelings, etc. then that's all well and good. but if u think the bible and jesus and god are obviously the truth about the universe then u really should think a little more carefully. those things came from earth, one planet, one time, not too far in the past.. it's ridiculous to think something powerful outside of our universe that has to do with our bodiless eternal essences comes from some thousand year old jew rhetoric story telling myth tradition, not to mention the dark ages and the catholic church and all that history.. look, even if there is more outside the universe that gives more meaning to our lives, so what? then what is outside of that? the point is, we're _always_ boxed in, be it a house, a continent, a planet, a solar system, a galaxy, a universe.. a.. supernatural deity kind of thing beyond universes.. or whatever. it's still mundane once you know it, and you can _always_ imagine a further unknown. maybe some people just need to, but personally i think you should make do with what is knowable to you and just try to imagine what is possible rather than get dogmatic about some tradition of explaining some unknowables when most likely it is just as unknowable to them as it is to you. i would put more trust in people who try to tell you about the nature of the human consciousness and living a human life than those who try to tell you to give it all up and get in line for something and that this life doesnt matter compared to the next -- that kind of thinking seems highly prone to exploitation to me. | ||

Wicca is the main religion I follow and if you have time, I'd gladly explain our concepts of the universe. Most atheists that I talk to agree that they make alot of sense. | ||
