GUEST,Ooh-Aah2 BS: Evolution is Here to Stay (70* d) RE: BS: Evolution is Here to Stay 14 Oct 05


Anyone who still believes in God and all that superstition is:

(1) Too afraid of death, for self or for loved ones to look reality in the face - I find this human and understandable, if a bit gutless
(2) Brought up to believe in God - and therefore to give up the belief is to destroy part of his or her emotional core
(3) A weak person (nothing neccessarily wrong with that) who finds religion an invaluable prop to make meaning from an otherwise meaningless life - lots of 'born agains' come into this category
(4) someone too blind to see the sacred nature of our lovely planet and awe-inspiring universe, who thus has an unneccessary emotional thirst for a supernatural 'something else'
(5)Probably the most common category - God and religion are simply part of the lifestyle they have been brought up with - questioning the need for God would be like questioning the need for furniture
(6) Those for whom 'God' is a convenient simile and shorthand for political views and a particular lifestyle, for example the US right.

Have I missed any do y'think?
