All religion is simply thought control. To keep people in fear, to keep them distracted from who they really are and what they can do. |

A bit of background; I'm an athiest, but I'm open minded. I prefer to think of athiesm as an open minded and rational way of looking at the world. I try my best to take in all the evidence available to me and make a logical and unbaised decision about the most likely situation. And I've decided that it's fairly certain that god doesn't exist. Even though I'm open to new evidence, I haven't heard many truly convincing arguments for the existance of god. |

If God started doing THAT round my neighbourhood I would become a devil worshipper on the spot. |

I was deist not even a month ago, but after some thinking I later came down to pragmatic agnosticism/bordering on athiesm. |

157 is a prime number. The next prime is 163 and the previous prime is 151, which with 157 form a sexy prime triplet. Taking the arithmetic mean of those primes yields 157, thus it is a balanced prime.

The presence, absence or specific qualities of a Lord/Creator isn't the most relevant question here. Worship is essentially awe + gratitude. Are you incapable of having an orientation of awe and gratitude toward your existence? |

If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama

I am not grateful for my sheer existance. Only for the things that make it worth enduring. |

That distinction would be the source of your suffering, but that's another thread |

It's not religion you don't like, it's your conception of it that you don't like, or at least the popular version of it. Just because most people think they know what something is, doesn't mean that's what it has to be. |

I think that the 'awed' must be mentally handicapped in some fashion. The world is shit; it's practically a fact. Only humans can make it better. We gave God a chance and he has failed (quite miserably), so now it's our turn. |
