This could be it's own thread... Is a poorer diet and lack of excercise to blame ?

Any ideas ?

It all started with the invention of the home computer

I'm only 14 but I've already decided that God doesn't exist. I believe religion was first created to explain what science could not (Example: Aurora Borealis, work of the Gods.), but after a while, men realized they could use religion to control people. Though I'm sure some of the morals they set in place were positive, I belive the overall effect of religion has made a negative impact on history. Before the Renaissance, religion was probably the most corrupt it has ever been. Paying the corrupt preachers so you wouldn't have to stay in Purgatory, and church officials telling people what to do and what not to do. Today, science has finally taken an upper hand over religion and we are progressing quickly in many feilds. I beleive we would be a little further ahead in some feilds of science if scientists in the 17th anf 16 century hadn't been forced to work under strict law.
Quite obviously, the above is mostly about Christianity, but other religions have been the same. I'm not trying to force my beliefs on anybody, just expressing my opinon, and I would like responders to do the same.

How did you prove God doesn't exist? Are you omniscient?

Can't be that...I'm damn near 1200 years old, and I'm a youngin' compared to so folks here.

Unless you're talking dog years...

Fire rain, that would be interesting. The only way that could happen is if you somehow got a cloud to hold some flammable substance, which I'm sure is possible, then light it on fire. And why would Jesus do that any way? That not very Jesus-like.

Who are you callin a dog? :-)

Your not getting social security checks are you?

You didn't think I was serious, did you? :-)

Pauligirl,

He said he decided he doesn't exist.

Sorry I've been quick replying so no spelling. Indisputle evidence would be some form of God simply jumping into outer space only wearing underwear from a patch of grass, orbiting each planet and surviving the descent back to earth. That would make me have faith.
