So, the number of things you throw in the God box depends on how stupid you are

The more I know, the more I see God in the world. Einstein even admitted this. It are those individuals that close their minds to anything but the non-existence of God that are blinded by reality. It is a matter of perspective.

I'm not Christian, but this is totally true. Good post. I've always believed this, but this is a nice consice way to put it. Ancient people thought that lightning and rain and rainbows and floods, etc were all the work of some god's anger or mercy. They had no idea there were natural causes. I too would most likely think that they were acts of God if I lived in those times. It is so clear that religion is a survivial mechanism that came about when we knew nothing about the causes of things. Christians still use this thinking when they argue for irreducible complexity and the existance of the soul. Science has revised the beliefs of Christians many times ever since religion came about. It's only a matter of time before it is abolished completely. I wish the religious people could see this.

I am not familiar with the term, "God box". I assume you mean the things you don't understand you relegate to "God did it." mentality.
Sounds like you are confusing superstition with faith.
This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, "It is through faith that a righteous person has life."
But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who push the truth away from themselves.
For the truth about God is known to them instinctively. God has put this knowledge in their hearts.
From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see his invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God.
Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn't worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. The result was that their minds became dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they became utter fools instead.

Not true. I personally like to learn what I don't know. I very rarely throw anything in the "God Box" but ask questions and find my own answers. I believe in God and am Catholic, but I do have my own mind.

If you mean what I think you do by the "God box" I think you may be right--for some people. Don't label them all like that though! Like every other thing, some are blind followers, some are just there to feel like they're part of something, but a few actually have a clue! :))

Ummm.... I want to answer "no", but I don't even know what you're trying to ask here. What's a God box, and how can we put stuff into it if we don't know it?

What is a "God box"? I guess that's one thing I don't know.
