“The work of God”?

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

I would definitely agree with that.

I also have another problem: suppose that there is a God with all the qualities that the monotheistic traditions ascribe to Him.

Wouldn't it still then be reasonable to ask why there is a God that is all-powerful, all-loving, all-knowing, eternal, infinite etc. that gets His knickers in a twist about what we do down here?

whats reasonable about believing there is a ‘thing’ controlling all this like some puppet master?

the fact you referred to ‘it’ as ‘him’ means I’m out.... calling @karen7 to deal with the feminist hater!

There isn't a god, but if there was, this would be the point where they'd say " you're on your own f*cker's"!

Where did god come from?

Best case: The imagination of illiterate, innumerate, biblical era peasants who were trying to understand things well beyond their capabilities.
Worst case: The imagination of illiterate, innumerate, biblical era leaders who were trying to control the peasants using fear of an invisible all-seeing, all-singing, all-dancing, bad-tempered, vengeful man in the sky.

So what created “god” then?

You have presumed I believe in God for some reason. I don't believe I have indicated that at all.

If religion serves a purpose e.g. providing comfort in hard times, or a code of conduct to follow, then in that regard it is a good thing.
I am unconvinced by the existence of any form of god
If I were to follow any religion it would probably be Daoism.
Also don't forget that our club has its' origin in St. Marks...
