I beg to differ.

1. The images are like, microscopic.

So is the writing.

2. That's because of nature though. Everything you just explained goes back to our basest instincts. When you win a game, you're the alpha male or female. you feel on top of it all. Just like true love, (not lust), this is something quite different. it's not a simple feeling of "oh, joy, peace". it's quite strange, and unexplainable. Honestly, you wouldnt understand if you havent experienced it.

I already told you why you like believing it. You feel peaceful because you know you're not going to be put to task for all your misdeeds. Hell, I felt so liberated once I decided I was an atheist too, and I can just as easily say that I felt the kind of joy you described.

3. I'm sorry, but "sky wizard" is FAR overly-simplified. he's not some kind of conjurer; by posting that, you're bringing the argument to a far lower level. According to Christianity, He is far far more than a sky wizard. You're putting it in a simplified way to make your point, i understand that, but it's also quite innaccurate.

So go ahead, define god.

Honestly, Mankind will never get through this argument. You'll never know till death. I honestly doubt we have the mental capacity to understand where we came from, whether it be a random release of energy an all-powerful God. Just as animals dont in the slightest way understand us, we might never completely understand God, the universe, or anything.

The point is to try. When I find a gap in my knowledge, I look for a good, rational way to fill it. I don't jump up and say "goddidit!" What made the universe? We don't know. "goddidit!" Who drew that painting you were talking about, in such a microscopic way? We don't know. "goddidit!" What causes eclipses? This also used to be "goddidit" till a scientific explanation was found. Similarly, answers will be found for unanswered questions, and it doesn't help to fill up all the gaps in our knowledge with an omnipotent, omniscient (which are incompatible BTW, you really should address some of the points I brought up earlier in the thread) being.
