It clearly didn't give you knowledge if you think the asun rises and sets. rather than the earth revolves and the sun just sits there.

That has little to do with what was seen by a primitive man. It became something he knew. It has to start somewhere. You can start anytime I'll wait.

That quote seems familiar. Did you borrow that from someone famous?[/quote]

I don't know if I borrowed it. Maybe I'm a plagiarist with a bad memory. But my statement is the way I feel.

Sounds hip, groovey and neo-scientific.

Or as the New Age crowd puts it - 'We are God'.

Nothing New Age about it, it's the basis of Gnosticism.

But gods don't make mistakes like human beings, I just hope they don't kick themselves too hard when they do make mistakes

@OldGrumpy,
Do you always have to ask perfect silly questions? or maybe you're just having perfect doubts about yourself?

@OldGrumpy,
Yes I am a Christian, but I don't think I'm perfect, I make mistakes every now and then.
I was only being sarcastic to how atheists might interpret the word god. As a Christian I actually have a different interpretation for God with a capital G from Lord Jesus, a more family orientated interpretation that is, its in the gospels of the new testament, keywords being "spirit", and "of the father."

@Amoh5,
That's ok with me. Personally I think the Bible and jesus and these things were never real but symbolic of something else.

But everybody may believe what he or she wants, I really don't give a ****.

That's ok with me too, how did you figure I am an 'atheist'? I am not.

@OldGrumpy,
You said that Lord Jesus is not real, the implication is obvious isn't it? How am I wrong?

Wrong? I don't know. I am ok with whatever you want to think or believe.

I really don't care.

. Let me add my .02c worth of opinion. The history of Jesus is only 2000 years old while Homo sapiens have been around for 200,000 years. Planet earth has been around for over 4.5 billion years, not the 7,000 years claimed in the Bible. Do you see the illogic of a god appearing so late in human history? Also, this god appeared in Jerusalem based on mythology, born of a virgin. There is no proof of any existence of any god(s). They are created in the minds of men who wish to control the masses. Also, why are there so many gods created by the different cultures in other lands? It's because there's a need in humans to wish there was a higher power that created this universe. Finally, study the findings of scientists on the evolution of Homo sapiens. Like many life forms on this planet, we evolved from the primates. Evolution is a fact that many refuse to accept. If you still have doubts, visit the Charles Darwin Research Center in the Galapagos Islands where they study evolution, and provide proof.

Just another brand of horse ****. There are as many variations of Gnosticism as there are of ice cream, but all of them define 'God' in such a nebulous way as to make the term meaningless. Of course that would match your own POV I’m guessing.

Regardless of that, there is one fact that is universally known by every rational human: They are not God. To think otherwise is the real “God Delusion”.

To which group do you belong?
