As a species, when we were younger we anthropomorphised everything. In other words, we translated externalities through our own experience. Hence God in our image etc.Anthropomorhising is the only…Continue

diggerbanks replied to Nerdy Keith's discussion 'We Are All Born Sinners?'"Exactly this. Just aggressive marketing to the ignorant."
diggerbanks replied to Stephen Gunn's discussion 'Are all religions superstitions?'"Buddhism is a science or methodology. Taoism is observation and application. Hinduism is a specialisation depending on which mythological figure you choose to concentrate on.
Religion is not superstition per se but it evolved out of what we would…"
diggerbanks replied to Emperor Milos's discussion 'Pope Francis' Encyclical letter shows he is still an ignorant fuck.'"1 Community: I agree, atheism is not conducive to a tight community.

Dogs can smell cancer. Beat that!"
diggerbanks replied to Emperor Milos's discussion 'Horoscopes and superstitions.'"I believe. The moon exerts a massive force on the Earth which is visible in the tides. The moon affects water (I think by changing the hydrogen bonding of the water molecules) and we are made up of so much water. The moon affects water, we are…"
diggerbanks replied to Unseen's discussion 'Have you noticed...?'"Stoopid hyperbole that backfired and now has connotations to bullshit. Besides, the left is in power and it is the right that creates all the stupid nicknames and buzz phrases."
Strega replied to diggerbanks's discussion 'God needn't be a man-made construct'"Yes, I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy now, thank you."
Unseen replied to diggerbanks's discussion 'God needn't be a man-made construct'"I think having a deity is important, a higher source to inspire, comfort and offset ego.
Hmm. What's inspirational about God? He's mean, jealous, immature, and certainly doesn't care much about us humans. He lets children be abused…"
Unseen replied to diggerbanks's discussion 'God needn't be a man-made construct'"I apologize, Dave.. I didn't see those links. I think when I first saw your reply, I only saw the first paragraph. Perhaps the rest was below the bottom of my window. As Mr. T used to say, "I pity the foo." I guess I'm the foo…"
Pope Beanie replied to diggerbanks's discussion 'God needn't be a man-made construct'"I see you, and raise you... plagues and floods. (While staying on topic, I think.)"
Reg The Fronkey Farmer replied to diggerbanks's discussion 'God needn't be a man-made construct'"I suppose if someone is unable to get comfort or solace from whatever god they believe in they can always press this Magic Button."
Strega replied to diggerbanks's discussion 'God needn't be a man-made construct'"Nicely said, Martin, and welcome to TA :)"
Martin Navnihal replied to diggerbanks's discussion 'God needn't be a man-made construct'"Is this insistence to have a deity not a sort of brief escapism from self? The self that is fundamentally accountable for his or her life. A hope that somebody or something will carry the psychological weight of our existence for a little while. A…"
Unseen replied to diggerbanks's discussion 'God needn't be a man-made construct'"No, I'm not running off on a psychological snark hunt. If you are so sure it's findable then you should know where to look for it. Find it and bring it."
Unseen replied to diggerbanks's discussion 'God needn't be a man-made construct'"People don't care that much about God, they care about religion and the particular God described by that religion. The God described by Christians is different from the one described by Jews and Muslims. And they all supposedly worship the same…"
