No, I don't. Omnipotence is just impossible. You can't have something that created itself, or that has existed for an infinite amount of time. That's simply not possible. Every time "god has spoken to someone," it was probably people just not recognizing their thoughts as their own, essentially what schizophrenia is.

I believe there is a god but I think everyone has their own interpretation of him. I don't think any current religion is right about everything. I'm in a bit of a crisis with my own religion. Christianity says reincarnation and evolution isn't real yet there is clear evidence of it. All in all I think we are here to live positively and hope for the best. I have Faith there is a Jesus but no one really knows the full story.

No because (IF YOU'RE A SENSITIVE PERSON, STOP READING THIS. Thanks) I only believe in things that exist =)
I'm honestly surprised (and glad) a lot of people voted no.

Why chain yourself to a god anyways? Just believe in yourself. You'll be much happier that way.

It's not hard to understand when you take into account how many religions try to control your life and make enjoyment evil

On point! Religion puts restrictions on your life. For example, my parents are Catholic (and this is what I was several years back, before I found out the light of the truth). They can't eat meat on certain Fridays of the year.

Yeah no, I control my life. I won't let anyone else control me. If I want to eat meat on a Friday, I'm going to eat meat.

No, not really. It's the people!!!

Don't worry, my parents are Catholic too. I don't believed in Catholic either.

Ash Wednesday or Friday is a Christian holiday (PAGAN)(holy day) that is not a biblical. You can relax easy. :)

My theory is that people intentionally "misinterpret"* religion in order to use it as a justification for the bad things they were going to do anyway.

Any look at the texts upon which religion is based show that they promote the ideals of love and selflessness. Sadly it is undeniable that religions get misused, but their overwhelming effect has been as a moderating influence.

People do bad things in the name of religion, and some do good things in the name of religion, can we say that some people just misinterpret religion. Religion is not bad; people who misinterpret it or use it against others are bad. It's not the concepts, it's the people that abuse them.

Easy: How some smart people can be pretty dumb. SIGHING! :teach::angry:

Rules like eating meat are archaic. However, the remaining rules really aren't anything restrictive.

The 10 commandments (the short version)
1. Love God
2. No idols
3. Don't misuse God's name (ex. Don't say God supports something when He doesn't)
4. Take a day off
5. Respect your parents
6. No murder
7. Don't sleep with someone else's spouse
8. No theft
9. Don't lie in court
10. Don't be jealous.

The commandments (the even shorter version)
1. Love God
2. Love others

None of those are really restrictive IMO.

These are common sense (6, 8, and 9 are the law). If you need to believe in a God to have common sense, then rip.

Unfortunately, people (believers and others) don't have enough common sense follow the simplified "Love God" and "Love others" commands, so this needs to be spelt out. The law was based on these because people lack common sense.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way
