[/quote] Then my ill informed friend, the solution is not to worship "piece of shit gods". I agree believing in a excrement god is not a worthwhile activity, but is that not self-evident? Perhaps not, for if you rail against a god of fewmets, then that makes you a critic whose intellectual capacity is likely "shit for brains" as well. ... 15 But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15 [/quote] Oh look a bibletard quoting the bible. Go quote your book of lies some more, won't change the fact a digestive system is proof of either no god, or one with no good intentions. [/quote] If you were an educated man who had studied the complexities of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, histology, and pathology, and knew how all of those aspects are so intricately woven within the digestive system, then you would marvel. Instead you reduce it to excrement. Therefore, you prove to me that you are neither a man of letters, nor reason, nor capable of intellectual discourse. [/quote] You talk a lot of nonsense. You marvel at a design that is based on fear and death to survive? Let's backtrack a bit, do you view animals and other life forms as less important than a human because they arn't sentient? If so, go fuck yourself and I'm done here. [/quote] An intellectual carefully studies a spiritual system and then by reason and logic and evidence either accepts or rejects it. They don't belittle a spiritual system by labeling it falsely. You said, "You marvel at a design that is based on fear and death to survive?" So by your own words, you admit that the "design" that was created by God, and yet do not yield to the marvelous all-encompassing Love which is at the center of God. Instead you focus upon fear and death which comes instead from Satan. You should sincerely ask yourself, "Am I an atheist or actually worshiping a demon?" It's my belief that you're doing the latter. We can discuss other things in other topics, for your second question has nothing to do with the topic at hand. "do you view animals and other life forms as less important than a human because they arn't sentient?" Is it beyond your rational ability to focus upon the question? Or is it too much to speak without resulting to vulgarities? Perhaps you should instead return to school, educate yourself, learn some vocabulary and grammar, and then return to play with the intelligensia. [/quote]

I'm considering god, but need a rational reason to actually believe. I would never take blind faith, as you could end up in any religion just dependant on the influence around you.
Anyway, I'm searching, but need a rational way to decide.
