    What is your greatest desire?

    My greatest desire is knowledge. I want to know how our universe came about, why humans are inclined towards deism (and, of course, religious interpretation of the wonders of our world), and, if life exists in other galaxies, is it similar to life as we know it? Though my second greatest...

    The sick concept of Eternal hell suffering.

    Why must the 'real' God be one who is loving and peaceful? Aren't you just molding 'God' to be the way you hope Him to be? Maybe God made us - made suffering, wars, disease and death - all for kicks to watch us squirm? Maybe they didn't sully his reuptation. Maybe he's known throughout the...

    What Makes A God?

    ... :D I'm not really sure about that. Likely I would call 'God' an energy source beyond physical limits as we know them. 'God' in any religion always seems to be that way to me, rather than an entity conscious of its own actions. But I don't know what qualities it would have. I'd only think of...

    What Makes A God?

    Oh, sorry. I didn't mean it to sound like I only thought sad people believe in God. I meant that these emotions probably helped spawn the God idea. If there is poor crop-yield, or no rain, or a family member is sick, I suspect one would like to imagine that asking an all-powerful being to...

    Dawkins!

    snaaaaake! Alister McGrath is pretty good (I only have his book 'Dawkin's God' though, and that's only half-read thus far - I bought it, well, technically yesterday).:D

    Surprising lack of knowledge among theists.

    *feels incredibly relived all of a sudden* I've only used the 'student life' Debate forums on bbc's website before, which is for people only up to 17 years old, and a lot of them shy away from my attempts at debate. I need stimulation, so hopefully this place will be good for me.

    What Makes A God?

    What makes a God? Human emotions - and probably our tendency towards deism in childhood. We give things meaning, and I guess some don't grow out of it - not that that's a bad thing. A few theists I have encountered have rebutted my ideas of God's improbability by saying that life has no...

    Why Only One Intelligent Designer?

    I don't think so. I mean, I do find it hard to understand why Christianity insists there is only one God, yet has the Trinity. And the Virgin Mary is vigorously prayed to to get to God somehow (especially by those who happen to be young and female). Also there are saints to consider, who seem to...

    Surprising lack of knowledge among theists.

    Yes, but there's no denying Dawkin has incredible dexterity when it comes to debating his side of the story, whether misguided or not. Personally, I think he's an amazing writer - 'The God Delusion' was the first book I ever read about religion, and whether it was right or wrong. He opened my...
