    So you just assume an invisible man in the sky did some things. Got it.

    Most religion does involve taking care of your fellow man. I agree with you on that. When organized religion is on the wane, we get crap like New Age mysticism, and people believing in crystals. It's better to keep organized religion, for that reason.

    A very simplistic interpretation of a creative force in the universe and beyond that is beyond mortal man's comprehension but if that makes you rest easier I wouldn't argue with it and wouldn't try to convince you otherwise.

    Could be. My main reasoning is looking at the religions that have started in the last 200 years or so..... Scientology, the Amish, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc.

    The concept of "hell" differs depending on the religion. For some it doesn't exist, for other like old form shintoism, hell is only transitional a kind of limbo where you're stuck before moving on while in newer form of shinto it's more comparable to the christian version where you are there for an eternity of torture. Judaism doesn't have a hell, i'm not even sure there's an heaven either.

    You do know that the earth is condemned one way or another. If it isn't by a man made action it'll be by either a cosmic event like a meteor or a gama radiation burst or the sun dying off when it'll run out of fuel. In either case your descendant will die with it. Live and enjoy your life, the future isn't of your concerns.

    A circle is a 2D representation, a sphere is 3D. They should havce used globe or sphere, not circle.

    true

    Ultimately its a matter of faith

    But reenforced by logic

    Because the existance of the iniverse - nevermind ife as we know it - involes something beyond the comprehension of man

    I askedyou a simple question that you could not answer

    Yet you are sure there cannot possibly be a supetior being known as God

    Soin lue of a lib inspiration I will stick with whatI do know

    Since God created the universe he has to be more complicated

    And Idobelieve that something - God at least - has always existed

    Which boggles the mind dont you think?

    ironically, nothing could create something (-1) + (+1) = zero

    so given enough time, and a separation of the - and +, we could have everything we know today

    but if a God could always have existed, so could of energy

    Do you believe in all other gods? Meaning your god and the many others? If you don't believe in all those other gods, then you'll understand why I don't believe in your god.
    How can it be that everyone is born into the 'right' god? That's one hell of a coincidence, don't ya think?

    I dont get militantly upset at non Christians for their beliefs

    If they want to face eternity alone thats no skin off my nose

    Their is no rational explaination for eternity in the human mind

    Based on what we know thats not possible

    You may choose to accept the existance of a higher being than yourself but that is illigical

    no rational explanation for a God either, more likely that every thing that is.. is

    the fact is, we are here, so we can all accept that

    I do agree that religion is not about logic, it's about faith in something you can't know

    they say the Gods (Anunnaki) created us to be their worker class (slaves)

    "The History of the Anunnaki: The 14 Tablets of Enki"

    https://www.ancient-code.com/hisory-anunnaki-14-tablets-enki/

    remember this was the first written religion, long long before the bible

    the bible changed some stuff, but was basically a re-write of this religion

    "Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea…"

    probably why this part is in the bible.... they forgot to change that

    Thats interesting

    If you die and an Anunnaki meets you at heavens gate you’ll know you made the right choice
