First of all, to anyone reading this sight: DON'T FOLLOW ANY MEDICAL ADVICE THAT YOU READ HERE. ANYONE WHO WANTS TO KNOW HOW THE ATKINS DIET WILL AFFET YOUR BODY SHOULD CONSULT A LISENCED PHYSICIAN, OR SEVERAL PHYSICIANS TO SEEK A CONSENSUS OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE DIET.

However, about Stone's comments, I think that there probably is no god, of course there is the ever popular religous idea that "there are things that are beyond our understanding." This is an idea that I like to call the "deus ex absurdia," or "god out of absurdity." This is the idea that there is a god that is all powerful and we can't see him, for some reason that is attributed to "divine wisdon." Unfortunatly this logic is poor, for the idea that there are things that exist beyond our reasoning could be true, and seems to be true when discover that there are things that we did not previously percieve, however, the fact that there are things that exist beyond our perseption does not mean that god exists. It means that god could exist. Maybe. But there is still no evidence that states this. So there is a possibility, likely a small one that god exists, however, it does not seem that one could possibly make a logical argument for god's existence due to a lack of concrete empirical evidence. Any argument that would be considered logical that supports god's existence would have to meet this burden of proof. Now with that being said, why the fuck do so many good universities have divinity schools? What the hell is that? There is no critical basis for much of this.

In addition, humanistic ethics are the way to go. Many religious moral systems are based on an absolute system of preventig wrong-doing; this is god who watches everyone and knows all of your bad thoughts and actions. I feel that an absoltue may be necessary to a moral system, but I am not sure if it is. However, acting in the benefit of society may be the way to keep people in check. If one does what is best for the people around them and does not cause discord by doing things that hurt others, then you don't need a god. I don't understan how a lack of an afterlife, like Spodudezor sugested, is cruel; for it seems to be true. There is nothing to really suggest anything other than that exists. I'd hope that life is a journey that goes on after death, but it doesn't look that way. I feel that its best to be aware of the likelihood and to accept it, but you can always hope for the best. Just beaware that you are hoping and not basing this idea on concrete evidence. Belive what you want, but just know why you are believing it and know why it is a better founded idea than the contrary beliefs. Any way, all praise the mighty new Insult design. It will be our salvation.
