If God is omniscient and gives us free will, are choices are only an illusion. He MUST already know the outcome (or else He isn't omniscient).

So, that makes the whole Good vs. Evil melodrama just a perverse and tedious exercise - not to mention it being something akin to watching a rerun of a bad movie for Him.

If you would not want others' religious rules and dogma imposed on you, does it not lead you to the conclusion that you should not try to impose your religious rules and dogma on others?

Are religious people breaking this axiom when they insist that others live by rules that make no sense outside of their faith? (For esample, stem cell research, homosexuality, premarital sex, death with dignity, etc.)

(Although there are some minor nuances, the Golden Rule is most readily understood to mean, "Treat others only in ways that you're willing to be treated in similar circumstances.")

The simple fact that the physical body can be easily
damaged? So we fear for our needs? Like what we will drink, and what we will eat?
And fight and war out of fear there won't be enough?
And attack others with our criticizng and complaining, to keep them at a distance, out of fear we might get hurt emotionally?
And our basic weaknesses cause us to go into denial, and create
all sorts of abberations like self-righteousness, and false prides,
like sexism, racism, nationalism, and religous intolerance?
YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK!

is this another example of "liberal media"? or is it just a former 'believer' seeing he was duped and writing a tell all book to warn others like he was?

Book: Bush Aides Called Evangelicals 'Nuts'
White House advisors sought the support of conservative Christians but mocked them in private, writes a onetime administration official.
By Peter Wallsten, Times Staff Writer
October 13, 2006

WASHINGTON — A new book by a former White House official says that President Bush's top political advisors privately ridiculed evangelical supporters as "nuts" and "goofy" while embracing them in public and using their votes to help win elections.

The former official also writes that the White House office of faith-based initiatives, which Bush promoted as a nonpolitical effort to support religious social-service organizations, was told to host pre-election events designed to mobilize religious voters who would most likely favor Republican candidates.

If the word of God is so powerful then there should be atleast one bible somewhere here on Earth to let us know that word is real. Kinda like a sign of the unseen creator like the sun in sky.

Do you think that God created us or did we create God? If it is possible see if the answer can be based on thought with explanations and not on biblical references. If you cannot thats fine.
What do you think?
