believe what you want.

but most religions believe in one god creating humanity, or something along those lines. they're all too similar to be a coincidence. that's all I'm going to say. :|

[QUOTE="DireToad"]I don't believe in god(s) or religions.

But even if god wouldn't exist per say, his monumental importance in the collective unconscious of people practically makes god exist.Quack_Attack

I'm angry that your poll does not provide the only true choice:

It is impossible to determine if God exists or does not exist at the present time.

Suppose I walked up to you and said the following, "last week, I saw 100 flying rhinos with ZZ top beards, wearing Bob Marley T-shirts, flying across the sky until they reach down town.  When they got downtown, they handed up free snowcones to kids, spoke in a thousand different tongues, and listened to the noon news with Paul Harvey before flying back to Mars."

You'd either laugh or look at me as if I were insane.  Before you so much as think about the validity of my claims, you deem this false because they are completely supernatural and violate every known probable instance regarding what we know about Rhinos.  Why do we think of God differently?  There is just as much evidence that can be directly traced back to God as there is evidence that can directly be traced back to a fleet of flying Rhinos.

The sheer number of people who believe in something offers no legitimate testimony to the truth of such an assumption.  For example, many people believed in a Heliocentric universe for hundreds and hundreds of year.  Is not mass delusion, ignorance, or other factors (such as fear, greed, normativity, etc) a far more probable and reasonable way of explaining a widespread belief that lacks ANY substantial evidence? 

if one wants to understand god, then one must understand the universe.KrayzieJ
