@SuperSupersenior

is it required viewing?

@margie525 if you really care about the truth, you'll check to see that you're getting credible information and not jumping to any conclusions because you like them or because they make you feel good.

i'm glad to hear that you are searching to learn about yourself and your origins. we have a natural curiosity and we want to explore. some people don't care -- that's very sad. still, it's important to match that sense of wonder with a healthy dose of skepticism.

we still have a lot to learn.

@toomanytribbles To your question, it does not matter to me what I believe (beliefs come and go), it matters who I really am, to find out my roots in the universe.

You are right, I keep jumping and I do not write anything new to you. I started this discussion, because I like joining in different aspects, especially when their people seem to be bright (because of your work/videos).

@margie525 i think your ideas of god are baseless and little more than bubbles. i'm completely serious when i compare your ideas to that of a pink unicorn. you might think your imaginations of god are serious, but i think they're just as silly.

if you have evidence of a god, please present it... that's the only thing i ask. you're failing to do so, and this is getting tiresome.

@toomanytribbles I indicate God's characteristics,because if there is God, It cannot be time-limited and at a place (and if It was time-limited and at a place, It should be generated from Something/Someone else so It would not be God-as you mentioned before).It cannot be compared to a pink unicorn- do you think this comparison is funny and smart? I think this comparison shows me that your opinion is based on bubbles. Does not this everlasting intellectual human argumentation deserve seriousness?

@margie525

margie, your comments are all over the place. you keep jumping from one subject to another. you've failed to justify any belief in god, and your arguments have been refuted a thousand times. if you have something truly new or interesting to say, i'd be glad to hear it. otherwise, you may want to do some reading.

@margie525

the bible, both testaments, are creepy and immoral... and you most probably skip over the terrifying parts and concentrate on the ones you like, all according to the morality you already have, independent of religion.

bytheway, are you telling me that if you thought no one was watching over you, you'd go out and kill people?

[toomanytribbles]

@margie525

you think that the gospels teach you good manners? are you sure you've read them? perhaps when a father was ready to kill his son, or when daughters made their father drunk to sleep with him? or when god ordered the deaths of entire populations? or perhaps the idea of eternal punishment for being born sinful yet ordered to be well?

@margie525 there are moral people and there are immoral people. but we don't get our morals from religion. we don't need someone watching over us. there are plenty of people who believe in no god and are moral.

@toomanytribbles Human instinct is searching for the truth, but while searching for the truth it is necessary to be moral. And if the environment that we grow up is not moral (even sometimes we think it is)?And if there is no-one around us to show us good manners? Who will teach us then what morality is and how important it is? If there is no morality around us, are we lost in the dark or something?This is why we need to believe in God, we need to remind ourselves that our nature is to be moral.
