tomcatwarne: I think most intelligent people believe in a higher form of intelligence in the universe, not to be confused with religion. O asume that human intelligence is Godlike is arrogance in the extreme.



Where is your evidence or reasoning for this statement, or is it just heuristic?

I have met many people all my life who questioned the existence of God but they were not actually disbelievers but they were angry with God.

Bring me a god who is reliable, trustworthy, unconditionally loving, fair, available when needed and can manifest himself in a clear way so we need not doubt his existence. Then and only then will I believe again.

But that describes my God! I am so sorry you have not found that loving, available and healing God within your life.

God does not live our life for us. But many people that have been in terrifying experiences (consider 9/11) knew they were held as the worst happened. From just that one incident there is so much we can see of God's hand in human affairs!

I have a loving entity to turn to when the chips are down! I give this to all who choose life! God bless the rest!

tomcatwarne: Do you have any references or proof of your theories, if not they as false as religion.Because religion has failed us does not mean there is not some explanation for everything.
parts of those beliefs can be found throughout esoteric pagan religions including Christianity and Buddhism.

One thing is for sure: the New Age stuff is more entertaining than conventional religion! rolling on the floor laughing

Honestly, I don't know if there's a God or not, although I doubt it. But I don't know.

What I don't follow, though, is how people can make all these claims about spirits and gods and so on. On what are those claims based?

Ultimately, I don't suppose it matters because it's no real threat to anyone. I just really, really try to get my head around it and run into too much illogic.

I'm sure there are many who are angry. There are also those who simply don't believe in a mythical being who nobody's ever seen dunno

My good man, the onus is on you to prove this for yourself. I have proven it for myself. There is no way I can prove it to you. I can share with you one method of experiencing this reality if you care.
