The overwhelming majority of humans believe in some sort of God (at least over 90%). Therefore, it's a hypothetical, trolling question that doesn't make a lot of sense. I suppose if only 3% of people believed in God, we would see them as rather strange. Since the exact reverse is what's actually true, maybe we should look at it from that angle. The bible says that "God has placed eternity in the hearts of man", meaning that all of us are hardwired to seek and to search, and to look for what's on the "other side." So, the ones that don't do that, maybe they're the 'abnormal' ones? I don't know. [/ QUOTE ] Right. A lot of people believe in "god". Because it kinda used to make sense that a "god" was in control. But now we have science that can explain things like thunder and stars and stuff. And the bottom line is most intelligent people that have really examined the evidence come to the conclusion that it is silly to think there is some singular personal entity that will send you to burn forever if you disobey him. Just because the majority of people are lazy doesnt make it any less silly to believe what they believe. Just give it time.

Re: PASSAMAN POST #666. BBV 10 COMMANDMENTS
passaman,
Why do you proselytize all the time? We get it, you love God, you love your religion, you love being "different" on BBV4L but I'm pretty sure there are tons of other forums you could go chat it up with if you didn't have for some sort of moral superiority complex. "Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful." -- Seneca

If a design needs a designer, why doesnt the designer also need a designer to design him, and so on and so forth.

Only in this thread in response to other posts. I'm sensitive to the focus of BBV, so I don't. I think you know that.
