I posted on someone's blog somewhere (man I have a hard time keeping track of all of them) that if intelligent design is true, then God doesn't really care so much about the individual as the species. That’s the only reason I could think of for ID is if all the stuff that doesn't fit (don’t seem to be intelligently designed), is there to teach us something. Which is why I’d say “that God” is more interested in the knowledge gained by the species and not so much the person?<BR/><BR/>Even with all that, I still can't believe in an actual God. When I was younger, I wanted to believe, but even then I just couldn't get my mind to really, really, believe. No matter how much I think and learn, I still can’t believe it. I must just be doomed ;)<BR/><BR/>I also theorized that with my version of God, the only real sin would be to just accept thinks without thinking about it. That would make fundies big time sinners *hehe*Kerri Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05368500873620219614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885089363049042508.post-5096347945879106232009-04-08T15:32:00.000-04:002009-04-08T15:32:00.000-04:00I believe that God comes to individuals, whatever ...I believe that God comes to individuals, whatever God that is. People get the god they need. And if they don't need one? Then why get one, if you've moved beyond gods, that's cool too :-)<BR/>I hesitate to say that every religion is different views of the same thing though, just because once you start looking at religions you can see they are not all looking at the same thing!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01264241978515946396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885089363049042508.post-55890172994460611172009-04-08T14:35:00.000-04:002009-04-08T14:35:00.000-04:00Studying also helps one vocalize their unbelief be...Studying also helps one vocalize their unbelief better :) now if only I had a better grasp on grammar I'd be all set ;)<BR/><BR/>I used to think that maybe God appeared to different cultures in ways they could understand, making every religion just different views of the same God. That would be to easy an answer though and in our universe it seems no answer is ever easy.Kerri Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05368500873620219614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885089363049042508.post-42197068924062190902009-04-08T08:24:00.000-04:002009-04-08T08:24:00.000-04:00Hi ImtheRabbit!

Be it Christianity, atheism, or any other religion. You can't force a round peg in a square hole.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01264241978515946396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885089363049042508.post-57301810370755527912009-04-07T21:39:00.000-04:002009-04-07T21:39:00.000-04:00I've always like your God better anyway :) Hell th...I've always like your God better anyway :) Hell the 'mythology' pretty much cured me of the disease of Christianity. I've been taking your advice lately Leigh and learning all I can. If I were to be keeping score, I'd say the Atheists are winning my soul fairly easily. But my bringing up the idea of religion once again in my life has greatly improved my knowledge of recent scientific breakthroughsKerri Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05368500873620219614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885089363049042508.post-29760339135554146192009-04-07T16:55:00.000-04:002009-04-07T16:55:00.000-04:00Could you imagine?
