on an aside... i believe in god... it's not necessarily a 'fairy tale'
yes it is. it's a fairytale.
god isn't dead. god was never alive. god is the figment in the imagination of man. if it helps you to get through life believing in god then go for it... but man's belief in god has caused more problems than not.
true story
that's a very immature perspective. people who rely on logic will be the first to tell you, god can't be proven or disproven. any belief about something that can't be proven is just as religious as any other. the question about the validity of a belief is not how much faith it involves but how logically it involves that faith. people who believe no 'god' or like phenomena exist, are just as close minded as those who believe one does exist. but unlike a logical person who also believes in god, and will admit it is a belief and not a fact, those who disbelieve in god tend to think not only that it is some kind of fact, but they Also think they are superior to those who admit they just believe, and call -hose- people 'religious' as if by contrast to themselves. they reach new heights of hypocracy. at least intellectual hypocracy.
i understand if other people are agnostic about god or believe god doesn't exist but recognize it's not provable. but to do more is just stupid. until we reach the archimedial point, and become omniscient, our perspective will always be subjective, as we are subjective, limited as we are limited. and once we become omniscient we will be what we think of as god, anyway. so until we are god there will always be mystery, and a logical person does not make the leap of faith here stating their unprovable belief as if it is proven. even if god shows up to one person and proves to that person that that phenomena exists, that is not a scientific proof that can be reproduced. it's a personal one. the inverse is true; even if someone's personal experience disproves god -in their lives- that is not a disproof of god everywhere.
even if a higher form of life doesn't exist, life ultimately strives, via evolution, to overcome everything that limits it. life is god in an infant stage. now the reason life will then look to see if there already is a 'god' is because if there is, it could evolve a lot faster towards its goals with the help of this 'god.' (or these gods?) but even if there is none, life wills itself to become one. and since at some level of reality, reality generates itself (or reductionism stretches on infinitely?), that level of reality is beyond limitation (except for the limitation of existing) and if there's nothing else, that itself is close enough to be called god. ish.
anyway, feel free to disbelieve in god, but if you preach it illogically like you did in that quote, i'll intellectually rape you just like I would any other preachy-type. no hard feelings though
i love you guise. i just hate to see such fundamental mysteries handled so carelessly. objectivity is nirvana. -does drugs in his head-
