Mostly these people are philosophers and are they doing it because they honestly dont know if they exist or mby just to make a point? And what is that point they are trying to make?

To me, God is Everything. God is you, I, the air we breathe, the flowers, those stinky socks waiting to be washed, the sun, the ocean, the keyboard I'm using to type these words, and so on and so on.

So, why I don't believe in God the way you do, I believe in Everything being a greater thing.

"how do they think any of this was created?? science and nature couldnt do this all by themselves..."

Well, guess what, nature IS God. Science didn't create a thing, science is the study of Nature. Bingo. Science studies God. So, whats' your problem with Science?

Religion and Science are not two different things, just like Christianity and Mormon are not. Yes, they have different "morals", but that came from the people that created the rules. But they all have the same message: There is a greater thing. Science does too, and that's why there is research to understand those things we can't yet grasp.

Religion is what men came up with because they did not understand things.

And that's fine!!

I find that making up a story in which only the ideal situation would arise helps. Deep down I know its fake, but that small possibility that it might come true, helps.
I also find that talking out each possibility to myself helps.

How do you find hope?

Just as some will base their logic in the scientific method, others will base their logic in the Bible. It would seem that if the true logic were in plain site, everyone would have made the corresponding shift to that logic by now.

Instead, you have one insisting that God's hand in the creation of the universe cannot be proved using the scientific method (thus debunking the religion), and another insisting that God is intuitive and the man responsible for all of this science by default - that he cannot be 'proven' is not the point.

Would you agree that the two sides are equally aggravating to listen to? :D Also feel free to comment on anything else relative to this.

When things keep getting worse and worse, when all hope seems gone, when everyone one seems to be changing and you seem to be staying exactly the same, when let one mistake take over your life, when you lose everything that made you who you are...... what do u do.......

everything seems so hopeless for me....

What would you call the feeling of being numb that comes out of constantly reminding yourself of what youre "feeling"?
It's as if I'll say "this is happiness" or "this is sadness" to myself as I'm experiencing an emotion and I can't feel it anymore; the reminder, or maybe the analysis of the the emotion, makes it go away, makes it seem like not happiness or sadness or whatever emotion matters because it's all relative and it disappears. But there's some sort of sticky layer of negativity that takes the place of the emotion; Instead the feeling's being replaced with this sort of nausea.. just a general sickness at the idea that it's hard to feel much of anything (besides this sort of nauseated disgust) anymore. Sounds emo, doesn't it? Maybe it's just too hot and humid and sticky in this house and it's all just physical reactions.. Help?

Observation (which response do you like?)
Too often "ethics and morality" used almost as synonyms. This ambiguity and can be exploited.
Response 1
Ethics regards a wide range of relationships; morality
regards one's own emotional/spiritual health; they are
different, but very interdependent. Ethics is like the
relationship of the planets to each other and the sun,
whereas morality is equivalent to each planet revolving on its own axis.
Response 2
The analogy of the planets' interaction among
themselves (ethics) vis-a-vis their own rotation
around their own axis (morals) seems appropriate. If
individuals revolve around a moral axis (this is often
called a "moral compass") then their relations among each other will be ethical.
Response 3
My Microsoft Outlook thesaurus under tools shows “unethical” as a synonym for “amoral” but not for “immoral” However, “immoral” is a synonym for “amoral”! The breaking of the circle in the synonym links indicates that the issue is a bit foggy.

Did a praying mantis ever bite off the head of her mate, and then return it the next day, with profuse apologies?

For an essay we are supposed to: 1)either agree or disagree with the following statement: "Piety is an essential part of human goodness. That is, a person who is an atheist lacks some crucial human goodness that only a belief in God can provide." I was going to disagree with this but we have to give reasons supporting our decision and the only one I can come up with is that I know people who don't believe in God and they are still good people. Anyone have any other reasons this statement isn't true?
Also, we have to 2) write how we might see Socrates' challenge to Euthyphro as a challenge to this view
If anyone can help me out with one or both of these parts I would greatly appreciaite it! Thanks :)
