I don't see why people get so hot headed. I don't believe in God? So what? You believe in God, good for you, I'm not going to criticise you about it, or interfere. My life is my life, your life is your life.

No.

But I have followed you about Gary L, I've read all of your post history

My point stands.

I'm not for a moment suggesting that you whole heartedly believe the "let there be noise theory", I'm interested in the parts that stir you. Would you be good enough to give examples of thoughts for and against, even if in part of selected 'school of thoughts'

I'm finding it hard getting any reading on this theory, can you explain the "Let there be noise theory" and also give a bit more detail as to why you subscribe to said theory?

And myself & foreverwar are not mates, perhaps we just call it as we see it

Totally agree Chilly Willy...........but some folk see things as a personal attack on their firm beliefs, and so want to stand up for them, which is their right.

This thread has gone off on all sorts of different roads, some have been so confusing, I forgot what the original post was all about at times!!

Whoops..in edit that looks like i am a non believer, i do believe!!

Sadly this thread has gone exactly where I said it would end up at right at the beginning..and got slated for saying so....

It is a topic like no other.

There are clearly intelligent people contributing to this thread who have made themselves aware of the various arguments/opinions. From that they have drawn their own conclusions.

Nothing new there!! but the existance (or otherwise) of God discussion seems to have a different dimension. There seems to be an element of people not understanding why others haven't came to the same conclusion as they have.

I do believe in God but the majority of my friends don't. We've done this discussion between ourselves a few times, usually when there's been a current affairs story, and the same suspects always end up on the same side of the fence...... and the fence sitters still end up with splinters up their agnostic ar$es

In life, when somebody says No. you might have to accept that as an answer.
badgering them could lead into forcing them. which can get you into lots of trouble

this is how i depict God it's for those who's lives need something to lean on.

How about a nice easy game of hangman then? You can contribute to this at least can't you?

I had no idea I needed something to lean on in life. Then again seeing as you know absolutely nothing about my life (or the life of any other Christians I know) I think your opinion, while welcome, is quite redundant.

I was not going to pose this question, but as we are clearly going off topic ^^^

Did God create man, or did man create God?

What do you think Gary and why?

I think man created God. the reason being is that what I have stated before. I believe that if there were a God he wouldn't allow suffering/torture and pain.

What about you?

I think that says more about how you would like people to see you living your life than it does about anyone else.
