as anyone voting 'no there is absolutely no chance of a god' is just ignorant because its impossible to rule it out since we don't know anything but anyways without going much into depth about what I think I'll just say this: Its funny how the bible continues to vaguely reinterpret itself to have symbolic meanings instead of literal meanings. Especially funny since when it was wrote, and for hundreds of years before the first scientific break throughs, people did take it literally because there was nothing to prove it wrong. As another note I'm quite suprised how many people answered 'No.' Is America just that religious or is Europe very open minded? | ||

However personally, I would hold my life to the fact that most religion as we know it is nothing more than a manipulative concept, and that the Bible is one of the biggest manipulative tools ever created. While I believe most religions do hold morals and values and various other concepts that are very, VERY important for people to understand and know, I believe many of them have and do abuse what they have and seem to grow arrogant and begin to add in concepts and do things that are irrelevant and inaccurate. Especially if you look at history and know anything at all about logic, you can clearly see how easy it would be to manipulate the masses under such a guise. People today are still fooled by many things not nearly as complex as religion and the Bible. As dumb as people were back then, it would be quite easy for some kind of royal or higher-up educated family to brainstorm a method of manipulation similar to how some religions are, which also explains how interpretations of the Bible and various other things seem to change over the years. The motive and necessity is also quite obvious for such a scenario, which adds to the plausibility. Sometimes in my heart it feels hard to believe that there isn't some kind of higher power. But I believe that much of that is human nature, the desire for security, to have that feeling that someone is looking out for you and that there's a plan for you. It's all very comforting, and I believe that to be a very strong human weakness. But again, whether this is all an illusion or reality cannot be proven, so I don't attempt to find the answer. Basically, what it all boils down to for me is that I'm in control of my life, and I will rely on myself and only myself for that kind of comfort and support that one might search for from a higher power. | ||
