I wondered why everyone else believed and I didn't...I was trying to find out what I was missing. Each religion is very different, each believe that THEY have it all figured out, each is VERY wrong. Religion has more to do with region of the world than anything else. If we were living in the Middle East, we'd ALL be Muslim...not Christians.

We'll start with an easy one...if there was nothing before "God"...where did "God" come from? ALL knowing, ALL powerful...just pops into existence from nothing...or was always there? Really? The creator of the universe, of life, of us...wasn't there and then was suddenly there? Or has ALWAYS been there? I don't think so Tim...

There's lots of beauty around...did "God" do that? How about the UGLY...did "God" do that too? Why?

I don't need to be delusional about WHERE something came from to enjoy it...do you?

"when one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion."
And when people suffer from an obsession, it is called "unhealthy". Sometimes OCD may be caused by a drop in Serotonin. Sometimes due to age, this drop in naturally occurring Serotonin may cause anxiety in many forms. It is easily remedied with Prescription drugs that cause no other symptoms, do not depress anything, and flush out when not needed by the brain.

We all have our intensities, all of us in some way feel they understand the reason that the universe is off and think we can shed light on it. Some of us have higher intelligence than others, but that doesn't make us better in itself. The understanding of signs, symbols, and quantities and chemical interactions, the understandings of cell functions and how cells age and how cells carry messages that pass on to the next generation, the understanding of matter and energy and interpersonal human relations are complex and only housed in the human mind. Who gets to judge which human mind is worthy of acceptance?

The smartest thing anyone can do is understand the universe the way it is and proceed with the reality of it. You have defined the problem as some humans or vertebrates are superior to others. Now what? Kill off the inferior ones? We don't need them to eat. Or should we enslave the weaker? Who will be king of this new civilization?

Sometimes I think you are missing human feelings and the innate sense of responsibility that exists in most of us to keep the others of our species alive. The part that feels warm to pets and to children and to old people and to gasp, women.

You could be right, partially right or you could be just.......unkind.
