???? umm, of course Christians have broken the law.... just coz they are Christians doesnt mean they cant get a speeding ticket, nor does it mean they are perfect. but it doesnt make them evil ok. and everyone is going on about religion being corrupt. well you hear about 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or a few more priests who are corrupt in the Catholic church right.....well there are about 10,000 or more who arent, and thats fact. and those twisted individuals are just individuals, it doesnt mean that RELIGION is corrupt, just coz a few people who believe in it (or claim they do) are corrupted.
even then you are generalising. there are different divisions in christainity which all follow different customs. i for 1 am Lutheran and dont believe in some things that catholics enforce but i still believe in God. anyway i have nothing against the fact that some of you dont believe in God (all my friends are athiest anyways) its just that saying religion is corrupt is going a bit far dude.......

Well I am really not saying that it's wrong. Let me explain. I think at the beginning when each specific religion was created, it branched off from one mainstream one that was corrupt, it had corrupt individuals, so then it still has some of the rules and beliefs as the old one. By corrupt I mean they are just the way they are mostly for control back when it was needed, and people haven't changed it yet or questioned it, they just follow it. It's not a bad thing. 0.o You shouldn't get so offended, people could get offended by what you are saying too because they are two different opinions.

I'd have to say that no, I do not believe in a God... at least in the traditional sense of the word.
If you look at nature, there is already a balance - a harmony. Much of our suffering comes from our tendancy to attempt to exert our wills upon something that is already in harmony. If one works against gravity, then s/he will fail & will continue to fail ad infinitum. It is a law - particles attract other particles. They have since spacio-temporal existence began & it will continue to do so until this universe collapses.
If I understand this - again, if I understand this, as "knowing" & "understanding" are two totally different things - then it makes more sense to be in tune with this law. It is very simple - exert my will (go against gravity) & be miserable (because no matter my effort, I am doing something that cannot be done) OR eliminate my will (go with the flow) & be happy (because I have no obstacles).
My overly-wordy metaphor is basically my sentiments towards the idea of God. For me, there's no need to prove or disprove the idea of God, becausethe idea itself is superfluous. I have studied & tested the laws of the spirit & I know them to be true (emphasis on the "I know" since I can't relate it to you - you have to experience for yourself to know). As such, I have worked to keep myself in tune with these laws. If I am in tune with the laws of the universe, what need do I have of God? What need do I have of prayer?
We are the center of our own problems; only we can solve those problems. It seems rather simple to me.

I've never been given any evidence that he exists, I also am too damn proud to worship a higher being. It is simply my belief that God and Religion altogether are simply things humans can either blame their issues on, reasons to go to war, or simply for hope, which is one of the worst abstract ideas of man.
