Maybe more traumatic for their loved ones than them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted September 22, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 22, 2023 First Jovo in a very long time this morning. Didn't make them cry this time, they caught me on the hop, but stating I despise them and to get off of my property seemed to shift them quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 When I question the existence of a God I just listen to John Lennox and he puts me right. As civilised and level headed as you’ll get. He’s also knows his onions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brommy Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I do wonder why believers of any religion are sure that the religion they follow is the correct one of many? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but that then makes me wonder how someone who has had no reading or influence from religion can even begin to think there might be something called a God. Even without believing in a main stream religion, one's own definition of a God and how that affects them could be deemed as their own religion.

Is it really that far fetched to believe a power greater than ourselves created the universe? I think one can separate the belief of a creator from religious dogma .

I think one can separate the belief of a creator from religious dogma . After serious consideration of your question I can honestly answer - 100% yes. I think it's far fetched to think the universe was created by anything anyone might consider a god or creator. Unless some are stretching their definition of god to matters physical such as energy, mass, dark matter and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds ludicrous but just as likely as an imaginary higher power you suggest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) Let's say I die now and I've been a good enough boy to go to heaven. I only have my Nan and Grandad, cat and maybe Peter Whittingham if he'll be my friend for company. I have to watch my son grow up without me and possibly be raised by another bloke. I have to wait 20-50 years for other loved ones to die so I just sit there twiddling my thumbs for that time (do they get new release films and games up there?). When my wife gets there she loves another bloke and when my son gets there he doesn't know me. How is that heavenly!?
