Do you believe in God?

[Muddy]

No, because it really just doesn't hold up against modern science. (speaking mainly against christianity since it is the most relevant here in USA) :



The earth is clearly not 6000 years old, as carbon dating, fossil records and general study of the earth show.

Numerous contradictions in the bible that can read about here- http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/contra/by_name.html

General absurdity in the bible, like people living to be 900 years old. (I'm pretty sure your brain would run out of memory capacity after 300 years)

Genetic records of animals show no bottleneck in the genepool that would of had to of happened after the great flood

How it happens to align itself a little too conveniently with the interest of ancient societies and governments, like forbidding adultery for example.

The fact the there how been thousands of religions that contradict the others' existence. If so many seemingly convincing religions have to be bullshit then there is nothing to say that they can't all be bullshit.

Catholicism treats much of that as allegories and parables

Well, that may very well be true.

But, in the bible, Jesus' father was a carpenter, and he showed Jesus how to make stuff from wood, not because wood is just that great, but because doing so was the best way he had to show his family that he loved them. Eventually, Jesus' father passed away or disappeared to parts unknown. At the end of his days, when things looked most grim, and he didn't know how to show his love, Jesus looked again to his father, and did as he said, and did as he did... Put two pieces of wood together, and showed others how much he loved them.

My dad told me to do yard work and take care of my stuff. May seem goofy to me at times, but he says such things, because that's what he has to offer for his love. So, I begrudgingly do it, because I love him back. One day, he'll be gone, and I'll remember him and do as he did, because I love him, and in one way or another, I will eventually become him, and put two pieces of wood together, because I am my father's son.

I do but it doesn't matter as much as I used to think. Reason I believe? Gut instinct. It's that simple. Also, spirituality is a major component of my life. It may be a placebo to get myself back up whenever I fall into a rut, but shit, it works. And if it works, I consider it practical. I am a practical person, after all.
