Well, sometimes, when I'm feeling a bit down (and we all do from time to time), I do think like that. However, of course, if God doesn't exist, as I posit, then believing in him is really just fooling yourself. Ultimately, I really just live every day for myself, I live to learn, and I live to try and leave a mark that I've been here, through my work, through my friends, through the people who mean something to me.
Tell me Scottishinnz, what is it that lifts your spirits? What switches you on? What is it that gives you a rush - and I mean longer term, that keeps you going day after day? We all understand the adrenalin rush of snowboarding or waterskiing etc, but there is a deeper kind of satisfaction or contentment; and after reading hundreds of your posts here, ...[text shortened]... been aroused. What is it that switches you on. What keeps you going, and where is it taking you?
Does that answer your question?

They're just not trying hard enough, right? Any God which is such an idiot to care how, where or when people worship him doesn't deserve it.
Yes He would care. You're the one who doesn't care.

He's has the age old Stand Up Against Jesus adrenaline rush. It can be very addicting, you know?
The very thought of fighting against God can be enormously gratifying to some egos. They become enslaved to it.
