Any individual who isn't confused about life isn't smart enough to understand the depths of their own ignorance.

You are blind and deaf, you just don't realize it.

It is said that true knowledge rests in the knowledge tha we don't really know anything.

[Alalias]

That was actually a fairly profound bit of insight. Regardless of whether the really is a god, this process is definitely at work. It doesn't matter if its a real god who declared 10 commandments by which we must live our lives if we are to be admitted into heaven, or if its the cumulative result of many people, over a span of many years, imagining what some superhero-like character who knows everything (and inexplicably still loves us to pieces) might tell us about how to live our lives.

ya if i was blind and deaf..i would certainly be confused abt life...but after life long search and thought...there are clear proofs and signs from creations from the start of this universe, from the first humane..till today..which if known to any normal person..there wud be absolutely no confusion...even if u dont beleive in ur own humane instincts then u need to go search for more knowledge..i dunno seriously wat u guys are confused abt..

[abdulmit10]

he himself is confused

[drraft]

the truth of the matter is that no religious person believes in god for these 'beneficial effects'.

I'm going to have to start reading this man's work. What he says here is very very close to my own long held thesis.
