I believe in a God... I choose to do this via Catholicism...
All religions generally believe in the same thing.. A grand architect of the universe....And we practice it via different principles and methods.....
If you were to have a percentage of the people in the world who believe in some form of higher being, I wonder what the percentage would be?? I will guess between 80-90....

Alot of me believes that religion does more harm than good, and alot of me believes many people take immense comfort from religion. Alot of me believes it's bloody interesting thinking about it and trying to reason with it, and alot of me believes I might as well do what I do most evenings and go and get wrecked and forget about it all and just enjoy life at a simple level. I'm still too ignorant to decide and probably always will be, but I don't think that criticism of people who do use religion for "good" is the way to go.

And none of it doesn't  . And so agnostic not atheist. But if you were a bookie and priced up the 'Does God exist' race, what odds would you give? |

46% of Americans believe God created the earth around 6000 years ago, you aren't backed by the most influential of groups. You are not offering proof and nor should you feel the need to, whatever makes you and those close to you happy is good enough, but it doesn't make Andrew wrong that he is of a minority, and it is always useful to question. |

I'm not defensive, I'm just trying to understand what you're bringing to the discussion. The percentage is probably quite high. So, what relevance does that have? |

I think if everyone worshipped the tooth fairy we'd all be alot more relaxed, although there would be alot more dentists.

Sometimes you have to suffer a little bit in your youth to motivate yourself to succeed in later life. Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft? Of course not.  |
