I know there...I do not have faith there is no god. I know there is no god like I know 1 plus 1 equals 2. I have no reason to believe there is a god. A god is unnecessary in this universe. It runs just fine without one. Until god reaches down and grabs me by the head and pulls me up to his face and speakes to me AND if there is a video recording of the event, I will not consider the existance of a god to be true.<br /><br />At a basic level morals are natural. The details of being "good" in our communities are taught to childeren, but the basics of empathy, cooperation and community come naturally no matter how you dress it up with religion. All societies, no matter what religion or no religion they have practice the same basic morals.<br /><br />There are women today being stoned for adultry or less, I didn't say Christian. When I wrote this a young woman in Iraq had recently been stoned for just trying to catch the attention of a British soldier. In the 1760's Christians were killing Christians in this country for not being the right kind of Christian. In the grand scheme of things, that was yesterday.fly44dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09547504074062765327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5218798.post-72203195380072316262009-06-30T06:18:50.488-07:002009-06-30T06:18:50.488-07:00You say you have no faith however you have faith t...You say you have no faith however you have faith there is no God. Also, morals do not come<br />"naturally." When raising children do you need to teach them to be bad or do you teach them how to be good? You teach children morals because they don't come naturally. <br /><br />Killing women who have committed adultery is not Christian. During Biblical times that was the culture however when Christ came he denounced this and acted on behalf of a woman about to be stoned. He declared to the mob, "You who is without sin cast the first stone." The mob dispersed and the woman lived.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
