I still fail to see why people think those that do not beleive in religion as having shallow or empty lives. So I don't beleive there is an amazing power ruling over all of us, does that make me a bad person? Last time I checked, no. If you seriously beleive that the non-religious are that hopeless, you're missing out on meeting a lot of perfectly nice and intelligent peole.

If you beleive in coincidence, then you beleive in God. You just don't relize it. Look at the problem from another angle.
I beleive in coincidence, it's called statistical probability. That's real life math, not God wiggling his nose and saving your car from getting a dent.

religion as a secular beleive, I'll agree, is lame. I will probably rarly go to church for the rest of my life, and if I do, it will be for weddings, funerals, things of that sort.
I am reading your posts, and it's
all lame. All religion, that is. It keeps evolving and reinventing itself throughout history, and today's religion is pretty much the leftovers of the Protestant Reformation. Pretty outdated if you ask me.

you, my friend, have shown your ignorance for A) not recognizing a higher idea, therefor thinking only YOU matter, and B) again, not reading my posts.
I recognize the idea, but I don't beleive it. I guess a what I consider a debate, you consider someone showing ignorance. I fail to see where the "thinking only YOU" matter comes in, I think of everything that is real. People are real, trees are real, cars are real. God is not.

how nice of you to quote a man whoes form of government failed. Anything else?
The failure of Marxism has nothing to do with the matter at hand, I figured you where enlightened enough to realize that. Maybe if Lenin didn't die so soon after the Revolution, there would have been no problem.
Marxism did not fail, it was taken over by Stalinist beaurocrats.
Stalinism then proceeded to fail, mostly because of the incredible cost of the Cold War. That's right, the United States basically ran them out of business, funny how that works.
So, how about a qoute from a very successful lawyer?
"I don't believe in God because I don't believe in Mother Goose." - Clarence Darrow
Maybe a Founding Father?
"The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason." - Benjamin Franklin
Maybe even a former clergyman?
"The invisible and the non-existent look very much alike." - Delos B. McKown
