You're right, but you're wrong... You're view that their is no God should be kept to yourself, it is your own belief.
I do agree that organized religion is pointless, as there is no real answer to which one is right. However, I do think there is some higher power, i.e. a God.

Where did God come from? I have no idea, but something created the foundation for this universe. No one can explain where the universe came from...

that being said.....churches should be private, and christian bookstores should be closed.

So these laws can apply to what we see today and can explain the past and the future but because they can not explain how it all started

Correct, that is why we arent completely sure of how the universe was created. Science is obviously a part of it though. If a god created the universe then where did god come from?

I see it like this. While it may of happened, its not in my generation, or the generation prior to me (my mother and father). Therefore...I dont give a shit. Same goes with slavery.

That doesn't make any sense. So christian books magically push themselves on other people?

1. Its fiction. I know a lot of religious people who say that Christianity is the only "real" religion. Islam, Hinduism, etc. is all fake. Well, which one is real? How do you even KNOW Jesus existed? Jesus could be a fairytale charachter thought up by some marijuana using hippy who just so happened to write it down. Wouldnt that just be funny?

Ive been saying this for years. I thought i was the only person who truly understood this. Now reading the bible is one thing. Sure it has some good stories and teaches good values and morals, but it shouldnt be taken so seriously... Jesus was a real person, but son of "god"? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif riiight. Sure i can turn water into wine, using a bathtub, some sugar and an assload of grapes! but thats beside the point. My point is, the bible is fiction, and should be treated as so. Organized religion is a joke. A mothafuggin joke. What kind of "god" would allow his followers to kill each other mercilessly in his name, when they are all "his creation"? Since the beginning of man we have killed each other over ficitonal books. Tards. In my honest opinion, the bible was written by people with an advanced form of OCD, smoked pot, and used peyote. If i had written a book long ago and said "Bitch, theres a dude named.. uh... GOD, yeah thats it, god, and he created you bitch and everything that happens to you is his decision. And im the only person who knows him, cuz im his son and shit. BOW TO ME BISH!" and people would think im almighty and stuff cuz im like hitler and charismatic and can make people believe anything i say cuz im good with words and theyre kinda retarded and stuff. Then they would spread the word while i would sit back in my pimp chair bangin bishes and collecting cash and stuff... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

God is his own entity. He is unexplainable. Humans do not try to comprehend his ways. That is the basis of higher being religions.

Nope, but if you could point me to it I would love to.

That's the reason I asked //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Very informative and educational.

He even includes "god" in some of his discussions...with an interesting little twist on the last pages.
