Do you think God exists?

[¡Cereal Killer!]

As a folow on from my other thread... do you think god exists?

 

[beorhthelm]

The teachings of the now dead master, Douglas Adams, has convinced me there isnt one.

I cant quote the piece, but essentially he says that if a puddle could think, it would probably assume that its world (ie the dip in the ground) was so perfect for it that there must be a puddle god that created that world.

This, the smart ones will note, shows the absurdity of the anthropological argument.

It also shows that you dont have to be relgious to be a prophet.

According to Monty Python he does by twop falls and a submission.

I'll sing myself to sleep
A song from the darkest hour
Secrets i can't keep
Inside of the day
Swing from high to deep
Extremes of sweet and sour
Hope that god exists
I hope i pray


Drawn by the undertow
My life is out of control
I believe this wave will bear my weight
So let it flow


Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy

Lip up fatty ah lip up fatty fatty reggae.

That's code for "I believe in God" by the way, if you play it backwards.

I don't think he's a DJ though.

I feel he's abandoned me at the moment though, I feel all alone on this thread.

I believe in God.

I don't think religious discussions ever lead anywhere with people that strongly believe different things. Such discussions often lead to real hatred.

Now discussions with people who are unsure or weak....thats where Jehovah's Witnesses increase their membership

You challenging the almighty Faithless (and possibly that american wan Pink, but she nicked the lyric)

We're taking this outside

Show me a pile of dog poo and I'll believe you, that, that pile of doggie poo exists.
Show me a god, not his presence, show me god in front of me, the same way I see the dog poo, and I'll believe he exists.
Until then a 100 per cent no.

really a horrible analogy...or whatever.

But Dog owners sometimes just look at a young puppy and they now what he's just gone and done....or they can smell what he has just done.
Of course there is always the chance that it isn't really poo......but you would assume that it is.

seems a bit far fetched someone watching everything we do and judging us on it but i'm not ruling out anything !

Although your analogy is a little upleasant, I'll go with it.

Show me a pile of dog poo and I know that not only the dog poo exists but also the dog that pooed it, even though I can't see the dog. In the same way, I see evidence of God all around me, although I can't see the God.

You can say nothing or say anything, and the conclusion can only be "therefore, God exists"

Oh, please, you can shirley do better than that. To come to that conclusion you must already believe in God.

You have seen dogs previously, and most likly seen them poo. Even if you havent you are aware of poo, and can induce that if you see it in the street its most likly from a dog.

But say you've just come in to the west from some Amazonian tribe. You see a lollipop on the floor (a Fab, where'nt they cool) and ask your guide what it is. For a bit of a laugh, he tells you that thats a "Bus poo". You have no reason to doubt him and wonder around the rest of your life, bemused at the sight of children eating bus poo in the summer.

As a dyslexic I often used to lie awake at nights wondering if there was a dog
