As an ignostic this is one of the few times I will partially have to side w/ Bully.
Guess I'm just a person that needs to know and the existence (or non-existence) of a god is not something can be known. What I do know is that if a higher being exists there is no religion on this Earth that reflects what he would want for us. There are far to many contradicitons in religion for me to know what is what.
Who said homosexuality is wrong? God or man that wrote a book about god a few centuries later? Why would a God create someone that flawed and supposedly full of sin from the get go?
In response we use stupid cliche's like, "the Lord works in mysterious ways" or, "God has a plan." When a bunch of people saw God in the tail of a comet and killed themselves to see him everyone thought they were nuts and no one siad it was a part of any "plan". Or, when my cousin was caught heading to her newborn daughters room w/ a knife becasue God told her she needed to be like Abraham and sacrafice her child we explored every possible casue and solution. Did she not take her meds? Should her husband divirce her? Should she be institutionalized? Should the state take custody of the baby? and many others. The only possibilty all these so called devout catholics did not explore was that GOD ACTUALLY SPOKE TO HER, and as w/ Abraham would have intervened before she actually killed her child.
Maybe it's time some people stop asking what they believe and start asking what you don't believe.
