How Many Of You Whoremongers Believe In God?

[Mutt]

I mean God, creator of the universe and everything in it not some nebulous concept of a force/power - I mean God, a thinking all knowing all seeing deity.

[AllAboutCams]

What makes you believe in that? How long after you die do you see this resurrection happening?

[Scott McD]

No sir.

I find even the thought of it hilarious to be honest...

Sorry never really thought how long before i come back

[MaDalton]

edit: and no, i don't.

my proof: there are a few billion people on this planet who don't believe in god and still their life is not any different

depends... think of god in a quantum way... if you test for waves, light is a wave, if you test for particles, light is a particular. I accept god so god works in my life

[Dankasaur]

I don't know what I believe... I'd like to think that after we die we don't just cease to exist... I like to think there's an afterlife... Do I believe there's a guy in the sky on a cloud waiting for me and my family? I honestly don't know.

And if you test for god, god is a fairytale made up to control the weak minded and comfort the slow of thinking.

God doesn't make sense.

that's only your opinion and has no effect on my life but I'm sure it affects your life

I live in a gated estate in the hills, my bills are paid, have a savings account, my family is healthy and I have sex with a steady non stop stream of beautiful young women... sound like your life?

Delta x times delta p is greater than or equal to h on 4 pi. What really boggles the mind that the act of observation changes how the particle behaves.

And, no, I don't believe in a god or gods. I am too old for magic sky fairies and invisible friends. Logical analysis of the issue falls on the side of atheism.

A god ?

think in a quantum way and stop applying social constructs like religion

Part of the problem of even discussing this topic is that the language of the discussion doesn't even make intellectual sense the way most people talk about it. The semantics of the way Mutt worded the question alone shows a huge bias in favor of religious belief built into the grammar. The way the question is usually worded exposes the lack of rigorous thinking about this subject by most people, especially Westerners who only believe in religion half-heartedly anyway.

There is no such thing as a generic idea of a "God" that many people- even atheists- commonly refer to in every day parlance. There are many specific religions with specific deities, only a few of which are mostly worshiped by much of the world population nowadays. So when you ask someone if they believe in "God", you should really ask which specific deity or mythology they believe in. Letting them say they believe in "God" as a generic supreme being is just a complete cop-out that doesn't really mean anything.

For example, even a supposedly monotheistic religion Christianity has a whole pantheon of multiple deities in it's mythology, not just one "God", most of them derived, borrowed and modified from earlier mythologies including Judiasm and ancient Egyptian, Babylonian and Sumerian mythologies.

The historical evidence is clear that the major religions of the world today are derived from earlier mythologies from the dawn of civilization that have been supplanted by these modern religions and then turned into looser, more generic concepts of religion that most secular Western people have some kind of lukewarm belief in.

good post, what I see in common with all religious is rules... i.e. a dominate interest in quantifying and controlling god ... my theory is it takes one to know one... so I'll not try and apply rules other than if I reach out something reaches back

that's scientology bro... just sayin' you know?

[MaDalton]

lol - ok...

[dyna mo]

mary magdalene was a whore, seems reasonable whoremongers would believe.

[mikesouth]

I dont buy into the sky god concept. Closest thing to describing God in my book is mother nature.

Buddhism is more like spiritualism. There is no deity. It's the closest thing to atheism.

interesting thought... and the point of kindness without fear of 'retribution?

Buddhism thinks positive - more kindness = better next life

religions work with fear

why should i believe in something that tries to scare me to keep me in line?

[Spunky]

Jesus is lord!

[brassmonkey]

im on the devils side sin daily

[BlackCrayon]

i'm my own god

Why worship the quanta? I don't deify physics, although Einstein did at times. Only a limited understanding of the universe necessitates a creator or deity.

[FBG]

God and religion are only used to control people.

Good people don't need incentives and consequences to be good or guide them.

I don't believe in God. But, IMHO, religion is necessary as there are many people that would not be good if not for the guidelines that lead to immortal bliss/damnation.

The smartest people simply ask for proof and disbelieve until some evidence is provided.

[seeandsee]

everybody do, just some believe in god and some in nothing

okay so there is an after life or reincarnation... the coming of Judaism changed the world thoughts on that... Judaism is the religion that proposed a god that cares personally about each individual ... making the common man as important at the king who in past times was the only individual worthy of notice other than the occasional heretic act or individual...

are you afraid of having a terrible car accident? does it make you drive more cautiously? same thing.... btw Judaism was also the first religion to try personal behavior to gad I believe although monotheism might actually be an Egyptian concept first put forth by king tuts daddy ...

the first line in your post is where you went off the rail... there is no connection between good and religion ... once you realize that and accept that... things start working out for you

who said anything about worship... you worship electricity?

Nope, which is why I don't think of god in quantum terms, which was my point.

I don't personally believe that desire affects quantum phenomenon or the collapse of probability wave functions.

The real question should be: how many of us whoremongers believe in Mutt?

[CaptainHowdy]

Mutt doesn't exist ...
