I guess you guys need an example of what I mean...
ok here is my concept.
To me god is a fairy tale, because of two simple reasons, one, god is an almighty being, that would meant that he has an infinite power over universe and two, he is conscious of this, this leads me to think that he has an uconsciousness, wich would be the infite infinite, which to me, is impossible.
I do believe that our own unconsciousness is individual and at the same time universal, by that I mean that its one divided in everything of this universe.

To me god is easy to explain:
God was invented, to explain natural processes , without knowing about their sources. Germanic people were afraid of thunder, because they thought it was the anger of the gods. Today we know better, nobody with the knowledge about it would say it's the wrath of a god. Just like volcanoes, today we know they are somekind of vent in the earth crust, reacting to tectonical movement.
The belief in god is to me like looking at a beautiful garden: some would say it was fairies who made that garden beautiful.
The concept of god means to find a way to explain the currently "unexplainable". To me it doesn't matter what kind of religion it is, superlative or failable, immortal or mortal gods, monotheistic or polytheisthic, the only thing that changes is the amount of gods being the explaination.

I have been raised to believe in the Bible,God and our Lord Jesus! Let me post a question or two. 1.Does it matter if your a Christian,Catholic,or other? Or is it the fact you read the Bible and learn from it? 2. If being "gay" is wrong simply because they can't pro-create, then what about people who can't have kids? Are they sinners also? My personal belief is ,when Jesus came to us "he" started a new chapter. We are to hold on to the 10 commandments from the old testiment .And listen to Jesus's teaching from here on. If you look at Duet. and Lev. you will see alot of laws that are now almost imposible to do. For you girls out there, it state that during our "monthly" time we are to move out of our tent (home),then at the of our "monthly time" burn everything. Cloths,bedding ect. Now can you see us moving out,and burning everything just because of our "monthly time"? Think about how expensive that would be to replace sheets,blankets and cloths once a month. In my opinion, Jesus knew we could no longer follow so many rules ,after all people were messing them up any way. The Sermond on the Mount is the best thing for us to listen to and do our best to live by.

It just seems to me that, if you believe that the bible really is something from god, how or why would you accept any part of it but reject other parts? If you really believe that the bible is something from god, don't you think ignoring some of the things he said would piss him off?

Even tho I don't believe in god, or any superior being, I understand the position of those who believe in certain things on the bible or other holy book, and the reason is simple, those books were written to civilize a determined people, so if you believe you can choose what to believe based in the fact that a human wrote those books and it could have missed something of what god said...
Also, to the ones that believe god made it all, he made a master plan or just throw elements to the space to the see the pretty colors they made?
Lastly, if we think about the bible, the Koran, the taos, and any other "holy" book, its not hard to notice that its a free interpretation book, the catch is in religion, when they try to make you think what they want.
