To quote The Big Bang Theory: you need to say these things in your head before you say them out loud. Because this thread is turning into "quality pornography for the discerning connoisseur" again, even without The Fairy King contributing ;-P
Some militant atheists appear to think they're god. Does that help?[/QUOTE]
Asserting that there is no god is not synonymous with saying they themselves are a god of some sort. In fact, it is a complete logical fallacy since it is impossible for those two assertions to coexist.

The Hare Krishnas believe there is god within everyone.

I'm an atheist, I was born that way, and so far I can see no reason to rock the boat.

Then you’ll never have use for this new service – http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2013/06/04/atheists-to-start-1-800-hotline/comment-page-6/
It’s a hotline for people questioning their faith.
The organization, Recovering from Religion , is setting it up, hoping to go live around the holidays when people are most likely to contact them. Of course, there are some who insist this group intends to actively convert people to atheism, and maybe they are, but they said they will be there to listen and guide.
They also said – and I absolutely agree – “‘Coming out’ as a nonbeliever – or even a doubter – can often be extremely difficult. In addition to the existential worries, budding nonbelievers run the risk of alienating family and friends.”
It’ll be interesting to see what the volunteers actually say to people when they call. I’m sure there are going to be a lot of posers. Should be interesting.

Religion's a man-made invention. God, most likely too. I see no evidence that supports, but there's plenty of counter-evidence via scientific experimentation that points in the opposite direction.
The Invention of Religion by Alexandra Drake is a book I'd recommend.

Along with Carl Sagan's Demon Haunted Word.

I guess whilst (technically) I'm agnostic, I'd be swaying more towards atheism more than theism.
To quote the lyrics from Innuendo, which seems somewhat fitting here....
"Our lives dictated by tradition, superstition, false religion...."

I tried to read this thread, but after about page 3, all I could hear was elevator music.
Religion is to me as music to the tone deaf.

The older I am the more I believe that this all around us was created by an intelligence. But I don't believe that somebody is CONTROLLING it. And I don't believe in "organized religion" - it's all about money and power, and not about beliefs.
Does anybody know here the "top secret" Sumerian story about the creation of human beings? I'm quite surprised how much sense it makes, unlike stories from the Bible or Qu'ran or the Torah or stuff like that
