A Child is Born, a unique creation
Molecules enjoined in their own contemplation

Killingtonskier replied to matthew bevins's discussion 'Rebuttal to Peter Hitchens case for religion'"Wonderful dissertation that I totally agree with--with one caveat---Atheists, like Richard Dawkins who demean those who believe, forget that those who believe provide a lot of good things and help many people, believing Jesus' voice of…"

Killingtonskier commented on Killingtonskier's blog post 'Believing in God is NOT Bullshit'"I agree to a limited extent. Much of the human race is in a follow the leader mode---just look at the Republican party--follow the money and the power.

T A A commented on Killingtonskier's blog post 'Believing in God is NOT Bullshit'"A break with religion, a true break, on a social scale, would probably take the same amount of time to be achieved, as does the pain of segregation and institutionalised discrimination that certain countries have perpetrated onto their minorities.…"

Killingtonskier commented on Killingtonskier's blog post 'Believing in God is NOT Bullshit'"Thanks for all your interesting and cool commentary.

T A A commented on Killingtonskier's blog post 'Believing in God is NOT Bullshit'"But there's no such thing as "not interfering" with people. When a religious person votes in a religious freak and numbskull for a politician position, that affects us atheists, they are interfering with my liberties and dreams.…"
Killingtonskier commented on Killingtonskier's blog post 'Believing in God is NOT Bullshit'"And personally, if you believe in God, and do not interfere with others, and are a decent, kind, considerate human being--you are OK with me. If you are a non-contributing Atheist---you are not OK."
Killingtonskier commented on Killingtonskier's blog post 'Believing in God is NOT Bullshit'"Fear is a consequence of not being well versed, genetic acquired brain chemistry, upbringing and most of all being threatened by someone that can hurt you. Mostly not being very smart allows for what you describe."
T A A commented on Killingtonskier's blog post 'Believing in God is NOT Bullshit'"That is a common misconception about religions. Religions and the belief systems they are based upon have less to do with stupid people fear, and more to do with the scheming members of communities creating power structures. Machiavellian…"
diggerbanks commented on Killingtonskier's blog post 'Believing in God is NOT Bullshit'"What Dragotron said... We fear unknowns so we ask wise ones for answers and they apportion answers. Why is the Earth shaking? Why is my village under water? Why is there no rain? What happens when we die?

Dance as if no one is watching
Sing as if no one is listening
Love as if you have have never been hurt before
Live life as if Heaven is here on Earth
Don't bother if you are a Muslim or Christian
Wait till you get planted in earth and arrive in Heaven
Believing in God is NOT Bullshit

Mankind believes in God because most of mankind cannot help themselves to not believe. The majority of Mankind appears to need simple answers when something is unexplainable (how we got here), or horribly indifferent.
God or religion is like comfort food for even those who are intelligent and inventive. Just look at 9-11 and the collapse of the Twin Towers.
For the past 10 years I have listened to "God Bless America" to honor the victims. Every time I hear "God Bless America"…
