A scam? Who began it and how did they came up with it?
Report as
people did who else there have been over two thousand gods in the course of human history, i dont know to you, but it seems like its human nature to wan something of higher power to cling onto
Report as
Is this really logical? Most people say its just luck, even people of different religions. Only the religious ones say its the gods, so is it really logical to think its natural in people to just come up with that idea? Okay, its obvious if it was a scam people wouldve invented it, but who as in when? And how did they came up with it if its more natural to say its just luck than gods?
Report as
its not luck its science
Report as
Excuse me, dont try to change subject. I said, most people say things happen by luck that they say it happens by God. Acording to this, its illogical to think people would naturally feel like making up ideas of gods. They would rather think its just luck than think that there s someone controlling everything and demands certain things. So, its not human nature to wan something of higher power to cling onto, specially when that something demands things.

That's technically your opinion. We'll believe what we think is true.
Report as
Big bang, all gods couldnt have been product of people s imagination. When something good happens, or something really bad happens very close to people and nothing happens to them. I m pretty sure 99% of the people whether they are religious or atheists, they say ''its my lucky day''. They dont say ''thank Lord'' well, sometimes they say it, but they dont mean it. Hardly anyone says ''God is blesing me'' or ''God keeps me in blessing''. Most people say ''its my lucky day''. That means its rare for humanity to think there s someone controlling everything. They rather think things just happen. Dont come with the story of looking for answers to why things are the way they are. Nobody cared until Edison discovered gravity. So people wiouldnt make up gods to explain things. Much less if they didnt care. the gods and religions come from the devil. I think I explained in another question. I m also putting it here, not for you because you already know. Gby everyone

I don't know of any "evidence" one way or the other. Everything that people say was created by a god could also have come about merely by the laws of physics by which the universe runs.
By the same standards of "evidence", every law of physics by which the universe runs could have been thought up by a god.
I believe there is at least one, probably more than one, and no one can prove me wrong. But many people believe there is NO god, and no one can prove them wrong.

Well, then lets go to the Bible: The Bible never lies, but one must know what it means. If anyone says lies about their gods, then their gods are not real. But that doesnt happen with christians, the real ones.

deep dark, the bible is true becuase the bible says so ;) but seriously why did you describe the laws of physics as merely? here's a picture of the Milky Way, look at it, then zoom in the amount of stars are colossal http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/11/Galactic_Cntr_full_cropped.jpg
Report as
Have seen the Milky Way photos many times. Didn't mean to denigrate the laws of physics; my meaning was that everything could have been brought about by the laws of physics without the help of a god. My own theory (since I still need a god of some sort in my thought patterns) is that the universe was created (by whatever you like) with a set of rules and runs by them without the aid of interference; humanity was given intelligence as an experiment, so see if a species could learn to get out of the way. That's my theory; I freely admit it is ONLY a theory and one of many.
Report as
deep dark: a book that took 1,600 years to be written and knew things others didnt and even knew things that would happen before they happened, and even knows things that are gonna happen.

Big bang: would you be able to explain to natives the laws of physics by only giving them a book? would they understand the book? would they care about it or would they consider it things they dont even need to know?

deep dark: humanity was given inteligence as an experiment. You re admitting a decision taken by intention which is something that only a live being can do. You re admitting we were created with purp[ose. What is missing for you to believe in God?
Report as
Say what things it knew that others did. and who are you reffering to as natives, and you would have to have a lot knowledge to understand more than basic physics , so i dont know how much people would understand since there are two variables a) who the people are and b) what level of physics the book contain.
Report as
Just like the natives wouldnt understand the complex physics, and besides, they wouldnt care to read a book about it since they wouldnt us that knowledge because they dont need it, that s why God didnt talk about physics in the Bible. The Bible back then, before it was complete, it was for the city of Israel. A city that lived as slaves. Where they were not as educated as the Egyptians. Would it really be a good idea to give them a book about that? No. God gave them the Bible because it was easier to comprehend for them.

complicated, you dont even know. If they were the same person, God wouldnt be more powerful and there wouldnt be things that were impossible for the devil. God has 3 characteristics that the devil doesnt have: omnipresent (is everywhere at the same time) omnipotent (infinitely powerful) and omniscient (knows everything). So they are not the same.

@BryanIMP: know your bible first. The Christian Satan not only is "omnipresent (is everywhere at the same time) omnipotent (infinitely powerful) and omniscient (knows everything)" but also this Satan is infinitely more powerful than your god. Judging by history it makes perfect sense to conceive the fact that your Satan has always been more apt in amassing billions of more people under his wings, than your god ever did since the day Christian Mythologists invented your share of Gods and Satans.
Report as
Rachel: He didnt wanted it, but always where there s life, there s the choice of evil. God knew that if it hadnt bbeen Lucifer, it wouldve been another angel.

Pious: Ik my Bible. The devil is not omnipotent or omnipresent or omniscient. But God is fair. That s why He didnt destroyed the devil when he revealed qand that s why God hs to let things happen. Because He is fair.
Report as
Well now, let us use your own arguments against your god:
If your God is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent and omnibenevolent being he must want to prevent all evils. An OMNISCIENT being knows every way in which evils can come into existence. An OMNIPOTENT being, who knows every way in which an evil can come into existence, has the power to prevent that evil from coming into existence. An OMNIBENEVOLENT being who knows every way in which an evil can come into existence, and who is able to prevent that evil from coming into existence, and who wants to do so, would prevent the existence of that evil. If there exists an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent and omnibenevolent perfectly good being, then no evil exists. But as it is obvious that Evil exists, therefore basing upon the above arguments it can be logically asserted that your god DO NOT exist..

Did your omniscient god know before creating the devil that this devil would rebel against him? How can you term a being as fair who hands over his human children at the mercy of an all bad satan? Would you as a parent, and in your right senses, allow a confirmed homophobic pervert among your children's bedroom ONLY in order to prove that you were FAIR? Has not your god done exactly the same by your own admission? Can you imagine a devil acting any worse, savage and cruel?
Report as
Well, now I believe what Albert Einstein said: Darkness does not exist. Darkness is the absence of light. Cold does not exist, its the absence of heat. And evil does not exist. its the result of God s absence in the heart. Now: Yes, God knew that the devil would reveal. Always when there s life, there s the choice of right and wrong, good and evil. Always when there s that choice, someone will take the choice of evil. The Lord created humans, but had to give humans the same chance as the angels.
Report as
But the angels knew what was right and wrong before they sinned. Humans didnt. To make up for that, God allowed the devil to be on the same placce as humans, so he would be able to tempt them. That would make up for not knowing right and wrong so trhings can be fair. Now, humanity fell and they all belonged to the devil. God had to allow it because God is fair. God coldnt forgive humans without forgiving the fallen angels, so Jesus made justice for us taking the punishment we were all suppose to take. Giving a life for a life. Where one human could be able to be perfect, then all humanity would be justified. That s why we have redemption in Jesus Christ.
Report as
So we're like a huge soap opera, or Jerry Springeresque form of amusement for God? It's like he made a huge game for us to play for his amusement. Why allow the devil to tempt us? Why create the evil? As far as fairness, it hardly seems fair to bring into existence an entity that seeks to destroy and consume us.

I don't know if you've ever seen the Saw movies, but the persona you describe God having for us sure reminds me of that sick twisted movie.

Emily, you may be correct, I don't know. I do know that the traditional Christian view of God or Jesus or the holy trinity or what have you all kind of sounds silly to me. I mean to have a huge fairytale book, written by men that you are supposed to blindly believe and follow even though any given passage can be interpreted in soooo many ways... That just seems ridiculous. I feel like most religions are basically a way to amass weak-minded individuals and make them work together for a common goal that may be good, may be bad, depends on what the people in charge want at that time. For F's sake, we have the damn Vatican, those guys are friggin loaded with cash, don't really do the world any good, and they STILL have a bunch of idiots blindly following. Hell, people pay craptons on money just to get over there and watch some creepy looking dude in a funny hat wave at them. I think if there is some being or great omnipotent consciousness that we would all be much to small and feeble to understand it.
Report as
Rachael, God didnt created evil. Evil actually is like darkness and cold. Coldf is absence of heat. Darkness is the absence of light. And evil is the absence of God in someone s being. The devil was an angel. The most beautiful and powerful one. Still the most powerful, can look beautiful to people. He saw he w3as the best angel, for saying it like that, and he decided he should be the one praised and worshipped. Because absence of God came to him. He substituted God in him with himself.
Report as
As for the Bible: a huge fairytale book is not written in 1, 600 years... Its written if much in a few years. You see that it can be interpreted in many ways, but that s only if you dont read the Bible correctly and with the Holy Spirit. Some people asked some theologists why they took the Bible so seriously. They said at first, they didnt, but then they began to see that it was acurate. They say the Bible interpretates itself. But the truth is one must always have the Holy Spirit. Now, you talk about religions, there s the problem. Each religion is not pure. They ve all been adapted to times or people. All the christian ones have. Even the Jewish one.
Report as
Christianity is not about religion. You dont get to know God by learning the ways of a religion. You dont get to know God by going to a church where you have to dress sudden way or do sudden things, of course, you dont get to know God by going to a church where sin is accepted either. You get to know God by praying with sincerity and reading the Bible. Pray for knowledge, and if you expect it, you will begin to recieve it.
