Which god is best??!
Quote by SlurpySarah
Some really excellent answers here - some daft, some quite profound. Imo, most religions these days are just bastardized corruptions of what they were originally intended to accomplish ie a control over the populace, based on the "do what we say and you'll be rewarded in the afterlife" or the "don't do what we say and you'll be punished". My game plan is a life of vice, then a last minute death-bed repentance.
On the subject of Homer Simpson as a god I quite agree - in a few thousand years time humans may be taking the blood of homer (Duff beer) and breaking a doughnut! Can anyone tell me why the Pagan Alliance are so pissed at the Cerne Abbas thingy??

My god's the same as your god but you don't show it the true respect. I am afraid I must burn you at the stake. It's for your own good.

I wonder if I can maintain a blissfull composure as the flames lick my wotnots?

the ever so great and wise philosopher Terry Pratchett has Gods all sussed -
all Gods exist in potentia
sum get believed in and grow
most never get beleived in and stay small gods of whatever litle piece of matter or liquid or gas they inhabit
the unfortunate ones are believed in and grow hugely powerful, BUT soon ppl start to believe not in the GOD but instead in the trappings and surroundings of the GOD - the ceromenies and buildings - and so they grow small again
so never believe in a GOD - ultimately they will only disappoint you or you them

isn't Quetzacoatl the god of Chocolate? If he is he gets my vote :D:D:D:D
Can you vote for a supernatural being? Or does that go against what being supernatural is all about?

On a side issue I looked up the word Heretic - as in burned at the stake for being . . . .
heretic etymology
So being a Heretic was all about choosing your God.
So, peeps, be proud of your heresy. :lol2:

Who is the Lottery God please???
Mike xx
its that guy with all those numbers in his bank account
you know the one, now what was his name, the one who won the bid over someone who was going to give ALL the proceeds to good causes.
well darn me i just can't remember the name just now.....
Long ago, before time was measured god hung in a void. There was little else to do, as there was no creation. God had spent all his being asking himself who had created him and what his purpose. It was when he decided that it did not matter, that on an impulse he clapped his hands together. In the massive pressure between his hands he formed the whole universe. For just an instant he held the whole of creation in the palm of his hand. Then it started to expand. Soon it was so big he could not perceive it's edges. He watch in amazement as the chaos slowly formed galaxies and planets.
Since then he has been trying to work out what he has done and looking for a way to get it back where it came from. Then again it was nice to have the odd planet to go to on holiday. It made life more interesting.

Football is the only true religion.
We all turn up every week, worship at our grounds and pay homage to the club.
We demand that there be no other "god" as to support another is blasphemy
We chant the name of the god
We encourage our god to defeat so called other gods in battle
To offend our god is to offend us

Why are those 15 year old Mormon "missionary's" that the Americans send to save us poor natives always wearing badges saying "Elder". Or am I just really old??
Personally I cant possibly beleive in a God that loves us all, but if it keeps em happy then thats fine as long as they dont try to push it on me; but then isnt that what religeon is about? It's just a big chain letter, send it on & convert a few people or your privates with go blue & fall off. Ok maybe they wont, but you will burn in hell when you die.

"Elders" are those that have been on a 'mission' to save the poor deluded, or those that have not heard the news. We got talking to some Mormons in the US. Being an Elder give a Mormon certain rights in their community. Among those right I think is the right to marry and the right to give 10% of their income to the church, do not quote me on that!

I odnt know much about mormoms but i remember working with a women who married into the mormon faith. By all accounts when you marry, its for eternity and yes they do have to give 10% to the church whether they are an elder or not I believe.
Another friend of mine was a jehovah's witness, she had a severe disability and totally believed in her faith. For her.... it worked, as she believed that when she died or the earth came to an end, they would be no more pain, no disability etc and life would be a better place.
I tend to respect people who have a faith as long its not pushed down my throat and they respect that I dont have one.. :smile:
Its not the gods but the beliefs we mortals have that matter. To believe is to have faith and faith moves it is irrelevant which god you worship. As long as you have strong faith in something. By the way what about these guys that worship a cow which has been sentenced to death. I wonder if their faith will save the cow.

No, faith did not save the cow. The government vets have taken it away to a far far better place.
Quote by Fun Scottish Couple
I used to be reasonably religious when I was younger and believed in god, but hey I even believed in Santa clause
Although, what I’ve witnessed in the past 20 years or so while growing up, I can safely say I’m now more inclined to believe in the Devil than any Gods
You can't have one without the other. If you believe that a being controls and instigates evil then you must in turn believe that something controls good.
There are no gods. We are all responsible for our own actions. They is no after life just here and now. Good things happen bad things happen it is how we respond to these things is what matters.

6000 years of Judaism would disagree; your view appears to be a Christian one, even though you add "There are no gods".
By stating there are no gods it means they are christian
