Isn't it bizarre humans still believe in God? (created, freedom, percentage)

In regards to that video, all I can say is -- holy crap.
"You get into this looooong tube filled with demons!"
Yeah, that's him talking about flying with an airline. So yeah, they need their 50 million dollar private plane so they can "talk to God."
Because he can't talk to God on an airline flight because too many people come up to him and ask him to pray for them.
*sigh*
Well, I suppose it's just par for the course. I've pretty much given up on the American people. I have about as much faith in them as I do in God.
The fact that people actually believe this batcrap crazy stupidity -- it's no wonder we have the government we currently have. People here will believe anything.
It's also no wonder why every foreign scam operation beelines to America because they know that so many gullible idiots live here.
Only in America do these televangelist thieves prosper. Anywhere else and they'd be drummed out of the country -- if not arrested and charged with fraud.
Ah gotta dreeam.... that people who have had it up to here with religious gobble and particularly with the prominent frauds and scammers will emerge to shock the stats compilers with how many of them there are. There will be a sea change in politics and law and the bullet proof green houses of the religious will be taken away.
Procedures will be investigated, computer histories scrutinized, finances investigated. And there will be such a procession of charges, confiscations, closures and jail sentences that it will make the Nurenburg trials look an online 'Star wars or star trek?' debate.
This just boggles my mind how such a large percentage of the population goes to church to worship a God that doesn't exist and shows absolutely no signs of existing. Its just so primitive. Realistically it seems like once humans became smart enough to build things, have reasoning skills, write, speak, create civilizations, we would have reached the level of intelligence to realize there is no God. I just don't get it.
Do you all believe that the alpha and omega of everything in the universe is subject to human reasoning?
What's sad is how you (and other non-believers) think that the alpha and omega of everything in the universe is subject to the reasoning of the human brain. Good luck with your theories.
I have never thought that and it is absurd to lump everyone in together because they choose not to live their lives according to your beliefs.
"The reasoning of the human brain"? LOL Most learned people soon realize that the more they study, the more evident it becomes just how little we humans really do know.
"Good luck with your theories" is a nice touch too, subtle put down to show how superior you are to the rest of us mere mortals and "non-believers".

Once you realize the complexity of biological life you may come to think all these variations are not really responsive to evolutionary challenges and they are not random. There has to be something more behind the way plants, animals, and people operate that is not just statistics.
From there it is easy to imagine a design by an entity with oversight in some way we can only imagine.
With a couple of million years to work on it, they might be aliens and we have learned to call them God. Apparently they are neutral on our survival.
"Except for Loki, who is a real bastard"
This might be the funniest thing I've read on this board. Thanks.
You did know that Christian organizations provide more humanitarian aide than any other type of organization. Didn't you?
Excellent responses to this already, but since it was in reply to my post, I'll just add that if you think the few drops of "humanitarian aide" by xtian organizations somehow make up for the oceans of injustice, violence and harm caused by xtianity you are kidding yourself. The areas most likely to need aide are areas heavily damaged by xtian colonials and slave traders. Consider that the man who wrote the song Amazing Grace ran slave ships. Likewise whatever good he did in life is overshadowed by the bad he did.
Do you all believe that the alpha and omega of everything in the universe is subject to human reasoning?
I believe that the alpha and Omega of the universe is an unknown, and if human reasoning with the methodology and gadgets of science, can't find something out, the Faith -based guesswork of Theist speculative claims won't do it.

Exactly. Fron Newton onwards, science has had good reason to be pleased by what it can verify and know, but is increasingly aware of the huge amount it knows it doesn't know.
But if we left it to religion, Science would still have us believe that we lived on a flat earth with a transparent dome over it and of course wouldn't know that a whale wasn't a fish. About the only branch of technology that would progress would be arms manufacture.

Sounds like the situation in the USA since the rise of the Religious Right.
