chbare Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Vs-eh?, I do see your point, and agree , you could argue that virtually anything could be God. I have a belief, and my rational of faith may see silly or not based on logic to other people. I do not think that anybodies beliefs are more or less superior to my own beliefs. I am glad however that I live in a country where you can believe whatever. I do not hold any ill will toward people who believe in something different from myself as long as their actions do not hurt or impose on other people. I actually enjoy reading how people articulate their beliefs, even if they differ from my own. We live a subjective life in a subjective world. I guess we will find the answer in the end..if there is an end :wink: Take care, chbare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechMedic05 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I'm serious. I think believing in God is as probable as believing that Optimus Prime created the universe or guides life. For reference... God (and for most his son Jesus) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus Optimus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimus_Prime I appreciate your comments... In Jesus name, Amen Well, seeing Optimus Prime actually is a US Army Reservist [who is a firefighter in the Reserves...]: http://www.wkyc.com/news/news_fullstory.asp?id=3828 That kind of limits Optimus Prime. Honestly, I follow The Flying Spaghetti Monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chbare Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Itku2er, The Flying Spaghetti Monster is a deity created to poke fun at religion. As I recall it was designed as a protest against the teaching of intelligent design. Take care, chbare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quint Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I am a yes, but don't exactly know why! I guess that is why they call it faith. Not big on organized religion, though. I 2nd the motion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vs-eh? Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 Call me stupid but what is the flying spaghetti monster? The point is the FSM is as plausible as whatever your higher being is. That is the point. Relativism, it's the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechMedic05 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Flying Spaghetti Monster was an idea that was sent, and has since grown, to the State of Kansas Board of Education after their arguments on whether or not to teach Intelligent Design as well as Evolution. http://flyingspaghettimonster.org/ I was trying to throw some sunny-side-up fun into that. I didn't mean to offend. Now back to you regularly scheduled post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
