I'm in the uk where we have very little sun between nov-march.

Getting 12 mins per week is still less than an Italian or Spaniard gets in a week.

I tried, i promise i did but no matter what i do i cant seem to get my IQ low enough to process the words.

See there you go again labeling religious folk as feeble minded, now you know why I have to come out shining in glory

Religion does honestly strike me as stupid, but the fact is I know many very intelligent people who are deeply religious, so the stereotype is not correct.

I don't think people can choose to believe in Jesus though. It's a switch you either have or you don't, equivalent to taste buds or sexual preferences. Personally I wish I were religious, it would simplify my life.

It's always an abstract topic requiring study, life experience and maturity. But I would think it's more an acquired taste requiring effort - we're all broken and searching thus all in the same boat in that regard. Through the graces of God a heart can be converted

if you are trying to make arguments for religion you are failing.

you just sound dumb about it so yes i cant lower my IQ for your arguments.

thunder and glory blah blah blah.

 

[EvilLocks]

Yep, some of the very lucky ones stay hot in in their 50s.

Most of us hit the shitter though.

Even men - I'm 31 with nw3 diffusing, bags under my eyes, and lines on my forehead - age is a b**ch.

Would you be opposed to fillers under your eyes to correct your eye bags? I have seen some amazing results online with that stuff, and if I ever develop bags I might consider it. It's called tear through fillers.

Wrong - you've just never heard it that way and it contradicts your stereotypes of boring and feeble. And since your insults aren't working your left scratching your head wondering - wow how do I get some of that?!

@Marky,

I went to a religious school, we had prayer every morning.

What I recall is that some people would do anything to skip the prayer, they would hide in the bathroom, or just sit there and not pray. They would be done the silent prayers in 20 or 30 seconds, which doesn't work.

Other people took the prayer extremely seriously, there was no interrupting them when they were praying, there was a look of tremendous concentration on their face.

I think that difference is largely biological. Admittedly -- I don't have proof nor convincing evidence. It's a gut feeling.

To an extent you are right, dad always said faith is a gift, I never really knew what he meant by that for a long time, but that's it - some just have no problems with believing while others are more reluctant.

On the other hand, when trouble strikes in life like being diagnosed with terminal cancer and the prospects of death rear it's head, all the sudden prayer and God seem to take priority not only in the patient but those doing all they can for support. Perhaps that's why the bible says "be thankful in good times and bad" - indeed that bad can give us a corrected outlook on things.

Yep being scared of death is the biggest reason people believe in religion. It's a cope. One that even I, as logical minded as I am, wish I had. Death is scary.

As I mentioned earlier Jesus's disciples all died as martyrs - they weren't afraid of death as they saw something that truly inspired them.
And that was the death and resurrection of the Lord. If this was a fable, and they didn't see it with their own eyes, there is no way they'd step out of hiding and preach in Roman occupied territory almost guaranteeing them a torturous death.

It's absolutely essential for a logical mind to see beyond what it can't physically see - and this is faith put simply.

Exactly my point. Any rational person will be afraid of death. It's ingrained into us by evolution. Thus people yearn for irrationality when they must face death.

But you also outlined the problem in this cope. Irrationality is not a good thing for decision making. If I truly didn't fear death I wouldn't look when crossing the road. For this reason I've often thought that the vast majority of religious people don't truly believe in God, otherwise why are they still so afraid of death? Why do they cry when their relative die?

Not fearing death should not be looked at in the context of playing fast and loose, borderline suicidal.

But yes I agree it doesn't explain all the crying at funerals - unless it was well known uncle Bob couldn't come to terms with his faith.
Crying out of confusion is not uncommon, and death will stir many emotions, so it may not necessarily come from doubt in the after life.

I assume that most people either have imperfect faith or imperfect skepticism, that we're all a little agnostic on the inside.

Agree - that internal tug of war chronically nagging us. Gives us something to explore in life, in addition to the all important topic of hair-loss, of course.

I actually see death as freedom. I think that's when all my problems will end. Although, I can't take my own life as it will bring immense pain to my loved ones.

I see death in war battle as supreme.

If I will lose any hope in civil life I will go to any war conflict to die gallantly.

Either this is bullshit or it's just another cope, a poor one that would likely falter if you were terminal. Even people in severe depression fear death.
