When one turns to faith for answers, they have ceased to "reason" or to seek their own answers. When one ceases to "reason", they have stopped exercising "free will". God's supposed greatest gift to mankind was "free will". So it stands to reason that if there was a "God", then he would not want us to run our lives based on belief in him, because we would cease to look for our own answers to life's greatest questions. (This is not an argument against God, because it allows for the existence of an unseen, unacting God).
Therefore God either doesn't exist, or exists but remains unseen and unacting in order to allow us our "free will". What this argument DOES put forth though, is the idea that organized religion, and the act of making one's decisions in life based on unsupported beliefs in an omnipotent God, is a mistake. This is because there is either A) no God, or B) a God that wishes us to live our lives without consideration of him.
SO WHAT DOES EVERYONE THINK OF THAT????

Sometimes in the pub I toss a point of view into the general conversation, then take a step back and watch the fireworks! I have also asked and given loaded Q&A's. Do you think I'm a bad person?

but yet they believe in miracles?
the definition of a miracle is.....
an event that appears to be neither a part nor result of any known natural law or agency and is therefore attributed to a supernatural source.
sure sounds like magic to me.
if there is no magic then there are no miracles.
or are they trying once again to have it both ways?

Do you think that the converts into Islam have stronger beliefs and knowlege about Islam SOMETIMES rather than those who were born as muslim? Because before to convert they study and are convinced strongly.
(Not asking to give me additional points as to the convert but just have noticed it)

there are so many different versions of the bible, which have so many different opinions, i think if Jesus would have wrote it, it would be worth more spiritually, but it was all a bunch of people, in other words, humans wrote it, and so it cant be all divine as people claim it to be as humans are flawed.

for people to realize that there is no such thing as black magic?
there is no such thing as white magic. there is only magic.
it is neither good nor evil. it is a tool.
you wouldn't call a hammer evil would you? now if someone were to use that same hammer as a weapon would that hammer then become evil? no. it wouldn't it would still be only a hammer. it is a tool. the good or evil comes from the intentions of the person using that tool.

Islam REQUIRES that anyone who CAN afford it MUST come to the tourist trap known as Mecca. In my last question, certain people got a little snitty and couldn't handle the question, so they resorted to the DISTRACTION technique. Children often use that technique to avoid responsibility by drawing attention away from the subject at hand.

There's a big difference between voluntary tourism and forced tourism. Let there be no compulsion in tourism (lol)

Does the Vatican REQUIRE people to make a pilgrimage? Does Israel REQUIRE people to make a pilgrimage?
