31. no. and even if there is, he/she isn't worthy of worship-
Edited on Tue Feb-17-04 01:26 PM by Beaker
take the christian god(BTW- i chose the christian god because that is the one i was raised with and the only one with which i have a working familiarity)- we're supposed to put the fate of our eternal souls in the trust of the words of admittedly sinful men who lived 2000 years ago, when no reliable medium for recording words and images had yet been invented.
and if you choose not to believe these ancient, unsubstantiated claims, but rather believe all of the available verifiable evidence as to our descendency- this supposedly 'loving god' will banish you to eternal pain and torment in a place called hell? eternal torment? when he/she could apparently just as easily simply put an end to your existence- "poof" no eternal soul left to enter paradise, but also no soul sent to eternal torment...but no- this god, the "loving" god chooses eternal torment...and these people want us to worship the sick bastard?

and while we're on the topic- just why in the fucking world would he create pedophiles?
and allow people to commit attrocities in his name?(the crusades, the inquisition, the slaughter of the indiginous populations of the Americas)

if there is a god, he owes us a lot of explaining before he should expect any level of respect, let alone worship and adulation.
I for one would like to know who was consulted regarding the design of the human spine, among other parts and workings of the anatomy and psyche.
