True the idea of god came from man.

But how powerful is idea.

Can ideas manifest in physical form, if enough people believe in the idea?

All those thoughts, they have to go somewhere...

You are honestly proposing that god could have came into existence as a result of people thinking he does?

You're kidding, right?

it's really exciting that your god is not evil, but there's only one contradiction in your god - IT DOESNT EXIST, just like all of the other ones :]

I still see a problem here, while I like your god's policy (let the good guys in) i hate his hell policy. This is why : Eternity never ends, and even the most heinous, foulest, ridiculous crime is nothing by comparison to eternity in pain- nothing at all- could make that the punishment and it be justice.

Okay, let's put theory into practice.

I'm thinking about a......FERRARI.........no Ferrari

Okay, how about..............JESSICA ALBA................no Jessica Alba.

Dude, seriously. Things can't just exist by us thinking it not to mention that it's totally contradictor to God creating everything.

We can never know something completely. We might always find outself to be in error in the future. But that doesn't mean that every single crazy idea is a valid option to reality.

Yeah. Because I meant it like that.

God created everything. What makes you say that?

Oh yeah...religion. Which I have tried to tell you guys has nothing to do with the actual concept of god. They just use the concept for their personal benefit.

LMAO. Share more of this wisdom of yours! I want to hear more!

Religion has nothing to do with the actual concept of God. Now, why hadn't I thought about that before?

Yes, but the other guy said that God isn't evil. A God who isn't evil wouldn't have allowed these things to happen in the first place.

AND I've seen in the past that theists follow rules from the old testiment too ;)

Not really.

I just don't make a habit of doubting ideas.

No matter how ridiculous they are.

Ohhh in that case let's see what happens when you jump out of a car at 150mph. Since you're so relaxed about doubt you can go first

There are different classifications of ideas.

Ridiculous was just a way of saying the idea is likely.

Anyways I use the word god in the way that it's just whatever the universe is. Whatever it means. The meaning of life. Whatever you want to call it. Scientific or not. It's all the same to me.

I certainly didn't say that.

And besides you could test that without shooting someone in the leg.

No. I'm not. Its called thought. We do it all the time. You honestly don't believe that a Jewish Zombie that had magical powers came and saved us from sin, then floated up to the sky 3 days later? You're fucking brilliant. It makes so much sense now.

Christ being a prophet?

He probably had a way with words but not much more.

The bible is like, "the popular religion." They had good people selling it. A big record deal if that's what you want to call it.

That's why it's so popular today.

Myself I find Christianity a little over fantasized.

The math doubts it.

I don't really.

I believe in the possibility of every possibility that could possibly ever be possible. Beyond science or god.

I don't really caaaare if you understand or not.

So, you totally disregard evidence and logic? It doesn't matter than one possibility has all of reality pointing towards it, while other possibilities are the result of wish thinking?
