if u mean bbq dinner each night outside with beer salad and the flie yes cause i do it each night almost

r u the kind of person who disliked birthdays

Not in the least, I can see your thought pattern.

However, religion has kept millions in order now for over 2000 years. Imagine life without it, it would be a lunatic asylum. There are far too many yet who have nothing else but gods to hold onto and the promise of redemption in another life! Shame isn't it, but that is how the story go's.

And no I don't dislike birthdays at all, I just don't like having my own any longer, is that a sin?

cause im an unbeliver no its not a sin
the only things that r sins r when u directly and purposefully hurt someone

do u like someone but r to scared to tell them

No. I have never been afraid to tell people anything, anything at all. Consequently, I have often told things on behalf of others who could not face up to it, and have asked me to mediate, so to speak.

Do you cause trouble when you have drunk too much alcohol?

No, I don't drink alcohol, nor have I caused any trouble lately.

Do you daydream very frequently?

We all day dream from time to time, it's natural. As for putting any form of credence to the same, I think not, it can be fulfilling at times though.



Why do you elect to abstain?

Because alcohol numbs the senses, and I don't want to spoil God's gifts.

Do you pray often?

The realisms of life and the forced structure we undergo to make us believe in this so called god which astute men or women created in our own image ( that was clever)to set a model standard is rather absurd, in my opinion.
Obviously you believe, and I have no desire to shake your convictions, however, had you been raised on a tropical island with kinsfolk un-aware of such man made divinity, do you think there would be anything what-so-ever to introduce you to knee bending to an invisible structure?

That, I am afraid, is too literal a picture of prayer. No, prayer is not a mere ritual. I believe you need not visit a temple or a church to pray. My idea of a prayer is totally different.

So are you an atheist or an agnostic?

I'm a humanist.



Were you a regular church goer as a child and were any of your immediate family concerned with teaching or preaching the gospels?

No. Actually, I am not a christian. Nor was I raised in a family involved in the preaching of our scriptures.
But I have been brought up to believe that there is only one Supreme God, and different faiths are different pathway to the one single Divinity. So I revere Christ as well.

What made you ask this?

The response you tendered, is basically what I was looking for.

You were raised to believe in one Supreme God. Obviously you comment, akin to My Father's House has many mansions.




Don't you consider yourself to have been somewhat brainwashed, or are you able to reveal some, even one instance were your God has proved his existence?

Yes, indeed I have had many such instances. But the trouble is that one who is not ready to believe will see only coincidence, whereas to me all those are miracles that have, over a period of time strengthened my faith, so now I believe in God so fiercely that I do not need to question Him because He has already revealed Himself to me (it would be ingratitude on my part to question Him again and again when He has answered me every single time).
I have not been brainwashed by anybody because all my rituals make sense to me.
And lastly, I am sorry I do not wish to share something so dear to me as God's confirmation in such a public platform as A2K because there are people who are ready to pounce on me, and would not listen to my logic at all (why don't you PM me...I can share my experiences provided you listen with an open mind)


Why are you so sceptical about God?

I appreciate your desire for privacy in this matter, there are those who would ridicule your beliefs. I respect your views and those of others who believe.

How many men did Samson kill with the jaw bone of an ass, and in what time?


You ask me why I am sceptical about God;- I can accept that learned men found great power in creating a god. The gods of old were found to be imposters, blocks of stone, gold, etc. The living gods of the Greeks were placed in isolation, supposedly out of man's reach. A god had to be created, which could not be seen! could not be readily accessible! and who could hold sway over life and death, we all look for immortality, it's natural to hope for eternal life, nobody really wants to die. So let's create one who looks like us and stick him up in the sky. Shall we put him on the moon? No, they might get up there one day and they will know it's all bullshit. Don't name a planet for instance, just say he's up there somewhere, having a bit of a kip.

The god of the Jews, Jehovah is capable of giving us all these things, so long as we behave ourselves. The story of Jesus, lets be honest, there were many of his calibre on the planet around the same time as he, they were there before him, and we still see them now.

A restitution of world power was needed by the Romans, who took the story of Jesus, elaborated and conspired to create the church of Rome, it still holds great sway today. Even the Arabs, noted this god was un-questionable and named him Allah, you can see the power the Mullah's and Imans have today. Especially with the zealots and lunatics.

Sects, the likes of Jehovah's Witness's, Seven Day Adventists, Mormon etc etc create additional supplications, it's a question of getting the coffers filled and again the leaders, creators of these sub divisions hold power and sway. Not very well at times either, James Jones, David Korash? (The Waco guy). White supremacists etc. All on the glory trail in the name of god. Didn't the Klu klux klan carry big burning crosses about with their posse of cold blooded killers.

I have looked at the evils of war, disasters, the tsunami, hurricanes, earthquakes, tornado's, shipping disasters, plane crashes. etc etc.
I stopped wondering what this almighty god was doing years ago, I accepted the fact that he wasn't there.

Messrs Bush and Blair, bombed holy **** out of the civilian population of Iraq and the levels of bloody killings, murder, rapes, since their intervention on the scene, (totally unjustifiable,) coupled with lies and fabrications, well! You can't fool all of the people, all of the time.
They do all of this in the name of god by the way. Between them, they make the criminal Saddam Hussein look like Mother Theresa.

The bible itself tells me man has been on the earth but a few thousand years, the scientists will show you human remains and tell you how many thousands of years if not millions of years we have been gradually evolving. On a personal basis, I don't really know what it's all about. Sometimes I may be out at night camped in high mountains, I look at the stars, I think of us, floating in space on a burning cinder, I feel fortunate to be here, if only for a short while. Eternal life, well my genes will carry on through my children and theirs. I'm not going to live forever, or be resurrected to the fanfare of trumpets. Whatever there is of me as rotting flesh or ashes, well that has an atom or two of content, that'll do for me.

There is also the possibility, that we may not really be here at all. It's rather like The Mad Hatters Tea Party in any event.

I accept there are millions on this planet who really need gods, I am not going to approach the pulpit and shout them down. I have seen photographs of the heavens, the planets numbering more than all the grains of sand on earth, There will no doubt be other life forms out there somewhere. Just how they have evolved, we don't know just yet. Time will tell.


How many of the ten commandments have you broken?

Six:
3 4 5 8 9 10... some considerably lesser infractions than others, but hey! I'm going to hell anyway.

Do you believe in Hell?

Do I hell as like¬!


Were on a big burning cinder, open air space ship if you like, floating around the sun.


Did you get the impression this was something special, that we have a fancy dude with grey hair and a beard who looks just like us controlling everything, not doing a very good job is he? Perhaps he is going to take us all somewhere else to live, if we are very good and worship him, or as some believe he is going to turn this planet into paradise and let us all live in perfect harmony, even the lion will lie down with the lamb, pain and hunger will be no more.

Once upon a time...................

Nope. If there is a God, his only capacity in existence was to create the universe, get things rolling, and go off to mind his own business and let us mind ours. God does not exist here, on Earth, and definitely not on a day-to-day basis. He does not directly answer prayers. He does not directly influence us or set us along an individual path... we create our own destinies, and are responsible for our own successes and failures. Our participation or lack thereof in organized religion is nothing more than a distraction from the ability to create actual good in the world and the support of a bureaucratic and hypocritical hierarchy which has caused far more pain throughout history than it has done good.

::steps of soapbox::

Do you agree with Genesis 17:10-14?

I don't agree with anything. I find agreeing with people boring. I like a good argument. I'm not much bothered what it's about. Funerals are terribly boring due to the general agreement that always pervades the atmosphere.

Do you agree?

I will refuse to agree with your statements. It is up to your best estimation as to whether or not I actually am in concurrence with their philosophy, since either way my answer is the same. My agreement or disagreement can only be expressed, as you no doubt intended, through denial.

Do you enjoy such paradoxes?
