i don't buy into the idea of a specific 'god', but i do believe there is a lot more to me than my body.

my basic philosophy boils down to this, 'in order to be anything, one has to be everything, or one is nothing'. as such my body is little more than a metaphysical refracting point for my own specific existence, a reflection of all the light of the universe as refracted through my parents at the time of my conception.

from my perspective the individual human beings are little more than cells within the whole of the species and it's the ego that feeds the fear of the ultimate unknown of death and drives their desire to want more and strive to be 'right' for the reward of immortality.

the complexity of our universe is an outward reflection of the complexity of our thoughts. we are the ones who create more complicated ways of considering ourselves and our surroundings thereby expanding ourselves and our universe. i guess it's not that i don't believe in 'god' but that we are as much part of it as it is a part of us.

I believe there is no God/Gods. I dont care to bother how I got here, it is a waste of time. I enjoy being a sinner. Until there is proof, im a skeptic, about everything.

I rest my case.

Also, one can not argue that the universe is so complex that a creator was needed. By that logic anything complex enough to fathom the complexity of the universe would also need a creator. It is a self damning argument. God indeed adds nothing to our understanding. It creates a situation that make argues against it's existence.

Sure, I can't prove there is absolutely no god, but it is counterproductive to believe in such nonsense. In other words, fuck spirituality. Its all about brainuality.
I love your scientific outlook on everything the unfan.
I love the way you look for mathematical and scientific logic.
There was a man in Germany who ate another man's penis because they thought it was scientific.
You are a scientific human who looks for scientific patterns.
But science is a game that doesn't know the God/nature rule book.
I commend you to the highest of beings.
If you don't believe in God go to a botanical garden on lsd and believe me you will!!!!
Once you are removed from your own bodily attitudes and presented with nature.
I know there is a God.
We are all part of God.
We all came from the first human.
God created evolution so we could sustain ourselves.
Every living thing is part of God.
You and me are no higher or lower then an earthworm.
Death means nothing at all.
I have touched on God.
People who know me know I have touched on God.
They know as they see it in my eyes.
Bless you the unfan.

Huh? There were religious people murdered and raped in the name of their faith...the thing in Germany is clearly an outlier. That's not even scientific, that's common sense. Who eats a penis anyways?

There was a man in Germany who put an ad in the paper and a man responded and cut of his penis and cooked it with the other man and they ate it and the man died in tha bath from blood drainage.
My point to the unfan was to lighten up and listen to the floyd and go to a botanical garden with a few shrooms and learn to love and appreciate others.
Maybe roll a doobeee and sink a few beers and watch west hams greatest goals and do Frank Bruno impressions.
There is a famous quote that goes something like.
Don't take life too seriously, you'll never get out of it alive.
Live and let live.
Chill and be at peace.
Eat drink and be merry.
And remember God had a sense of humour.

Apparently the guys who decided penis eating was a good idea didn't have enough scientific outlook to remember that it would cause bleeding.

beer pot and mushrooms

are you trying to o.d. the guy?

here
take all this
you will see God

i think someone else has already said this and its true

we all have to have faith in something

for some its science and scientific fact - the things they can sense and analyze

for others its the Creator - God - the intelligence that put everything together just so to insure that it would work for as long as He needed it 2

since i dont believe that science will ever be able to answer all of the questions correctly, and because im a basically trusting person

i believe in God.

why do we all have to have faith? i believe that there are a lot of questions in life that have no answers. i don't have faith in language, reason, science, metaphysics, or religion. these are all just fallible human constructs.
