I choose to believe because man cannot now describe how everything started, and it will probably not be in my lifetime, nor will it ever. I feel that it is great you do not believe in God, we need to have people questioning everything if we are ever going to progress. Me personally, I do not loathe religion like I was brought up, I've become more self-spiritualized as I feel I don't need to go to church to pray, if I want some alone time to be spiritual, more so than not I need to be alone and solve my own problems.

I don't agree what you said. What you believe doesn't seem delusional to me, actually it's the opposite. But my personality I love to question things and i've been taught from a young age to always question everything and never agree until you know for yourself what is to be true. As for Religion, I agree there are plenty of probelms with it, but concerning God I still feel that our existance can not have just started from nothing, I feel there are different levels of conciousness that obviously we cannot see because they are on a different 'plane' of time itself, a plane where time does not exist.

I love a good majority of these articles you post as I feel I can get into them equally and love to find out viewpoints from other people as I form my own opinion. But basically, where i'm getting at is that being delusional isn't always a bad thing. It helps people get by, if they want to be afraid of death and use religion to justify living a good life, then be it. I don't think religion or religious people should be castricized because of them believing in something, because that would be hypocritical and very similar to different religions fighting with each other because the other person doesn't have the same beliefs as them, that's what it boils down to.

I know this seems very jumbled but I just peiced together a few thoughts at work, I'll try and re-elaborate once I get a moment.
