yes?

hmm. ive been reading around recently and i saw a very interesting topic that Gordon was talking about. In fact, it is very often talked about, it is the one question which questions the existence of God and causes so much uprisings once in a while. Today, since i have nothing else to talk about, i will share my thoughts on this topic/question.

Personally, i believe there is no god. Althought i am Catholic, i would not call myself catholic, but rather a mix of many different beliefs. I forgot what that word was. I do believe in Jesus, he did exist, and there is also scientific proof of his existence, i believe that he was a great person and everything he did, did happen. In my sense, i am very scientific and most of you would know that.

On his post about the topic, there were many interesting questions.
for example: "Is he neither able nor willing? then why call him god"
Well, if i were to step into the shoes of a catholic (in my sense) and i was faced with this question, i would most likely say: If the world was all happy and eviless, then there would be no need for a God like mine. And without a God like mine there would be one less source of faith or something for people to look to, and when there is no faith or someone to look to, people lose their control and evil takes over. Therefore God has to exist, because there is evil in the world, and that is why we call him GOD.

In the sense of a more.. philisophical person, god is then implied more as a "Balance keeper" and therefore people need him to keep evil at bay. But god can never remove evil, because if god does remove evil, then god cannot exist.

If i were to then step into the shoes of an extremely scientific mind, i would say: God is not real, he is a figment of the peoples imaginations created and built over time as a source of faith and belonging, and as an answer to the unexplainable phenomenons of the world.

To prove this would be simple for a scientific person. Example of a peice of proof would say something like: In the beginning, when humans first thought of where they came from, or how the sun moved through the sky, they would asign various "Gods" to these phenomena as a way of explaining the unknown. For example Thor the norse god of thunder, Hades the greek god of Hell, Aphrodite the god of love, Ra the egyptian sun god, GOD the one and only god of christians. As technology advanced and the phenomena were then explained scientifically with proof, more and more gods vanished as there was no longer a need for them to explain the unknown.

I also believe that Having a God or something "High" to believe in is crucial to the survival of mankind, because in the end, its always faith that brings people together.

So... religion is good for you :)
