If you can't know then why worship God?
2006-09-07 18:29:04 · update #1
Folklore doesn't die?
How many worship Caesar? Frigg? Heimdall?
Bacchus? Ceres? Huh? Petbe? Khepri?
Do you even know other than Caesar who these gods were?
Some of them haven't been around 1500 years!
Christianity has only been around 2000 years
Judaism around 4000 years
and now everybody knows about them!
The God of Abraham has not even tilted!

This is from a non-theist. The only thing we can know for sur is that we have an awareness with some sort of experience running across it. Everything else we are agnostic about. Any choice to believe or disbelieve anything is based on other beliefs. For instance, I believe i am giving an answer to an actual person with their own mind. That is the simplest explanation for what i am experienceing. This also implies that I believe in simplicity as a test for a belief. Since this is true, the perspective you claim about knowledge would make it impossible to act at all, so I do not believe that you truely hold that perspective.
About any religious idea, you have the consistencyof the texts and scientific evidence to base belief on, just like in any other field. The Judeo-Christian God does not stand up to this scrutiny.

Never heard of fallen gods before sure u don't mean
fallen angels they rebelled were defeated and fell to hell. Personally I don't care if their is a god anyway lets deal with what is here and now first... and if by some bizarre occurrence their happens to be a judgment day to answer god . I'm sure an intelligent god of love and truth would not fault us for actually doing good and using are heads....Vain threats from of fire and brimstone sounds too much like taking the manmade god in vain..

Thats what "Faith" is all about

You can't. No one can truly know that their deity is real. It's all a matter of faith.

If you can't know, then you might as well not bother at all.
