Hi all
I just wanted to ask has your faith (if you have one or not) increased? Decreased?
I believe a large majority of people are atheist, but I am intrigued to know - have you prayed more, lit candles or think there can’t be a God.
For me personally I have been sending out quiet thoughts and asking for help 
All answers welcomed   |

If I believed in a god, I would be sending him/her angry letters asking him/her what the hell he/she thinks he/she is playing at by sending this bloody virus. |

Personally I advocate that the diseases that exist on the planet are a compelling part of evidence that a creator concept of any human invented description is simply made up and any human invented concept with the word benevolent within its definition is dismissed conclusively.
IF humans ever decide to invent another God concept
Which say
" malevolent sadistic alien "
Then I would struggle to dismiss it
As for praying

I think you'll find that God doesn't send viruses, earthquakes, tornadoes or any other illness or natural disaster. Neither does He personally give children cancer.
Now, answering the original question. As a Christian I haven't prayed more nor relied on my faith more during this time. |

If God was a creator from zero it indeed according to logic did indeed design every detail of every virus and parasite
And God can never be a he only ever an it |

It's easy and expedient for person'kind to have a God just so 'it' can be blamed for everything they are themselves responsible for.
God can easily also be denied by understanding that 'it' could allow 'suffering'.

According to the book piniocho is a wooden boy who's nose grows as he tells a lie
Ok so now we have discussed lines in a fairy tail
The God in your fairy tail designed the humans to designed them to chose what they chose
And despite the whole concept of genesis being utter nonsense not worthy of objective critical analysis
You feel it reasonable behaviour of a benevolent creature
To design a creature knowing what choices that individual will make and then allow millions of new individuals to suffer the choice that the first individual made even though it was a pretend choice
Humans did not choose suffering not even according to the fairy tales you quote
A creature designed to do what it did . The God knew what it would do

It's a personal choice whether to believe or not to believe, I just find it childish and pathetic when people on this site feel the need to insult those who do. I'd be interested to see if those same people adopt the same tone (on this site) on other controversial topics on free will?
Now, if you want the Biblical events of human free will it's in the Book of Genesis. Read it or choose not to, believe it or don't.
Free will. |

"I'm not a big believer... but I know of many who have found a faith towards the end of their life.
So if it gives you comfort I dont knock it."
I can understand why many find god when they are getting on towards the end of their life.
It gives them comfort that there is somewhere else to go when the end comes.
But I believe that is just a self comfort thing. |

According to the bible when god created Adam and Eve he chose to give them a free will. Also according to the bible god knows everyone’s life plan, what they will do and achieve in life. So god knew that they would take a bite out of the apple yet gave them a free will anyway. And by biting that apple all mankind was subjected to death, disease etc etc. So God knew that by giving man free will he would be causing pain and suffering to the rest of mankind for ever and yet he still chose to do it. That’s pretty sick do you not think?
I was brought up as a pentecostal Christian and I despise religion now. Aside from the psychological scars it left me with for the rest of my life there is just too many contradiction in the bible that people of faith like to ignore like the above example just for started. Choosing to believe an old storybook over reams and reams of scientific evidence to the contrary is bonkers to me and it astounds me how otherwise intelligent people still make that choice.

I've never believed and I can't see that ever changing, I'd like to think I'm proved wrong when I die and get to those pearly gates, but it a big no for me. I actually think its caused so much conflict throughout human history for a completely fictional story.
If people find comfort in it then that fine but I don't like it pushed on other people. |

My mum has been diagnosed with cancer and seeing how strong she is in her faith inspires and humbles me. I'm glad she has it to keep her strong and give her peace whilst my faith is very little atm I respect anyone's right to believe in whatever/whoever they like and would never take that away from someone just because I don't believe the same  |

I'm not religious as such. I do believe in the power of nature though.

As we are all aware not all religious people are good! Many things in ones ethnicity can lead people to do bad things! You can how ever have faith in yourself to do your very best! I think that is stronger than any religion! |

I dont insult those who believe thank you I clearly illustrate why I dont believe
If someone wants to think a God exists their decision is of no concern of mine
If you feel my explaining why I cant belief is an insult again that's a choice you can make but again it has no substance or validity |

No I'm saying
Both the virus and humans have an equal non judged right to exist
I also say however if a creator existed it chose to create humans with emotions and nervous systems and it also decided to meticulously design parasites to feed off the humans knowing this would be perpetual torture
In a no God scenario I dont hold resentment of Blame upon! An evolved string of RNA
In a God scenario I'd hold it directly culpable of sadism and malevolent torture x

I was going to suggest
Worst case is 5 percent dead
Personally tragic for the friends and families but positive for the wellbeing of the plant and zero risk to the existence of the continuation of humanity

Personally I am agnostic, yet envy those who have faith. I just can't believe in something I can't see!
However I will say this coming from parents of two very different religious backgrounds....

Just remember
When you take a sailing exam and a person goes overboard the examiners take control so no one dies
It's also blatantly clear exactly what you are being tested on the examiner for years has explicitly told and shown what why when |

I can understand why many find god when they are getting on towards the end of their life.
It gives them comfort that there is somewhere else to go when the end comes.
But I believe that is just a self comfort thing."
Maybe but we all have hope all the way through life. So I can get it why they get a faith at the end of life....its back to hope |

You can’t know for sure so your phrase “I think you’ll find” is patronising and is not substantiated by any evidence. |

Actually it isnt
Both are works of fiction projecting a moral thread
And before you criticise to confidently regards my suggestion pinocchio is fiction ....
So before I'm condemned to severely for my suggestion the bible is the construct of a human mind
The concept of a creator we can call it God has literally thousands of written manifestations , thousands
Even if a creator existed ,IF and data is strong to the contrary but if it existed as one of the doctrines describle it can only be one of the thousand
Ie all the others were made up
The chances the words of the bible are a real God are astronomically low the chances its fiction very high
So me aligning it with fairy tail status is perfectly rational and no more insulting than anyone else declaring their personal thoughts that they feel a particular other doctrine is true
Feel christianity is not purely human invented then you insult Hindus as by absolute default you think their doctrine is fiction

This is true. The only reason for choosing the Judeo-Christian God is because of where on Earth and at what time in history a person has been born.
Had a person been born in Greece 3,000 years ago they would worship Apollo and Zeus.
In Egypt, God’s like Horus, Osiris and Set.
It is merely the ‘accident’ of a person’s birth in a certain time of history and place on earth which typically determines what God(s) they believe in.
They can’t ALL be right.
But they can ALL be wrong. |

Given the things I've learnt about someone over the last few months, I now feel even stronger that religion is not good.
However that's only my view and I'm happy for those who find comfort from it.
Ultimately I believe that you don't need to go to church, pray or even follow a certain path to be a good person |
