You do notice the word, religion, is not fashionable anymore in these days. It is called spirituality nowadays.
We, and yes we, put the book into 66. 66 books, numbered verses, for what sake? Of course not, the original scripture weren't only 66 volumes of them. Not to mention the verses were breaking into numbered verses. It was that you could pick a verse, any verse, that you like or agree with. And you keep it fervently, since you 'believe'. Then through that little mustard seed, you would find the truth.
For example, In the beginning GOD created the heaven and the earth. That is one verse to muse on. And to the some people to hold on. Then here is another one, The LORD is my Shepherd .... So this is another verse to muse on. Don't like that verse, Love pulling some weights, sure: The thief.....Watch! And if you say in your heart, perhaps I could keep a charge to show my gratitude toward GOD, or in case there is one. Pick one now, all these verses in the Bible: love one another; love GOD all your heart all your might, all your soul; be thou perfect and etc.
What you think the heaven is only populated by the Popes? Or you want to obey the Pope's commandments: There is no need to breed like rabbits.(But while he doesn't breed himself,too.) Then there proceeds from the infallible, Being single and produce no children is selfish. Really, I have enough of that pedophile.
After reading all the verses, you say there is no LORD or GOD whatsoever, and I am the LORD. Then very well, carry on your belief like a whirlwind then.
And if you don't have a Bible, you are living in the Bible anyway.
Jesus says, I play this way and you don't cry. Now I play this way, you don't dance.

Pretty hard to reject a god when one doesn't see any such entity existing outside the imaginations of humans.
I do reject the religions that teach such gods exist. Especially offensive is some of the rules those religions attempt to impose on humans, and humans then justifying behavior that is vile, disgusting, unjust, terrifying, cruel and harmful to other humans.

Do good to humans only?
Do you like the story in Genesis when everybody were vegetarians?
Uhhhh, your poll choices are "I reject him/don't believe her exists/and extreme monotheism." So God hatred, atheism, and jumping feet first into fundamentalist absolutism? Yea, not gonna vote.
I would pick "I humbly admit that I have no idea if a god exists."
I don't "reject" god. I don't declare that there is no god. I feel that my belief is the most honest one possible, because truly, no one KNOWS, as in, proof positive.
I agree. The poll was rather from the theis view: 'atheists reject God' (implying there is one to reject). To show willing, we tried to answer honestly, with explanatory caveats.
I think it's the posting equivalent of speaking in tongues.
S/he isn't the first one to demonstrate it.
Won't be the last.
God bless the interweb.
I thought perhaps it was English words placed by a random word generator. CBC used to have Lost in Translation on Definitely Not the Opera, perhaps it came from there.
It depended on how a kid was raised. Everybody lives in the stereotypes once, until the more promising light shines out though. If I were raised in the Jewish communities, I would probably be one of the zealot though. Probably though.
The interesting thing was who was Jesus? That guy did not quake the quakes. He was something else. Anywho, whatever he was or was not, thanks to him to shed lights.
'Whoever has no sin, let him casts the first stone.' Woohoo! Right on, Jesus. These thousands years, finally someone speaks out.
That's what I mean. Crap. If nobody is allowed to 'cast a stone' (not a notable feature of the religious) who is going to operate the judicial system?
Anyway, this is off the topic.
