Thank God I'm an Atheist.

... something of a contradiction is it not, eh?

Interesting stuff, Arthur.

Thanks, Jamie ... it IS ... most definitely!

You've never heard that one before, Arth? It was an intentional contradiction, hence the wink.

I think God is to adults is what Santa Claus is to kids and I think if people looked at religion logically without bias, they'd see it in a different light. The trouble is that most can't because it's been drummed into them from an early age and they won't accept any other explanation. It's especially difficult in countries like the Philippines because the majority of people think the same way, so it's hard to believe in anything else.

I personally believe there is some other being, but not this wonderful God, and this being has been manipulated to control the population by putting 'the fear of God' into people so to speak.

I believe in prayer though but that's because my prayers have been answered numerous times so I'm more inclined to believe in a guardian angel than this God who is meant to be so powerful and great that he lets people suffer in poverty and the like.
