"Religious Happenings"

I've been hearing so much about peoples prayers coming true. Apparently this proves god exists. I just want to clear this up, if one prayer out of millions, if not billions is answered, this does not, I repeat, DOES NOT prove god exists. I do believe miracles happen. Nothing magical, nothing god like, just simple, beautiful miracles.

"We are so thankful that out daughter has survived the cancerous tumor that has infested her body, we are so thankful to GOD for saving her life."

I hate to break the religious party thats going on here, but you should be thanking the doctors and nurses that saved your child's life. Enough of this religious bullshit being placed in everyday life. God gets too much recognition for doing nothing, while the real life heroes, who are saving lives on a daily basis get minimal recognition.

Now that was just a made up example, but i'm sure a simple google search will provide a mass amount of websites with people thanking god for all sorts of stuff, that other humans should have been thanked for.

Another great quote.

Not made by me, but I loved this one too.


"Why is there evil in the world? Is God able to destroy evil? Is God willing to destroy evil?

If he is willing to destroy evil but not able to do so, than he is not omnipotent/all-powerful.

If he is able to destroy evil but not willing to do so, than he is malevolent.

If he is both able and willing, than whence cometh evil?

If he is neither able nor willing, than why call him god?

Conventional logic because your God isn't real."

Oh, Religion.

There are going to be many that disagree with what I am about to say, and talk about. But again, this is for me, to put my thoughts into words. Feel free to comment, I would like to know what everyone's thoughts are. Well, ever since I started learning about the Universe and everything in it, as well as theories of how we were created, etc, I begun to think that the theory of creation, though a higher being ("a god"), seemed very far fetched. I just couldn't think of how one man could create all that there is in the Universe. It just seemed impossible. I don't say this much to people in the real world, because, well, most people don't like me doubting religion. Back on track though, what was here before "a god" created everything. There must have been something. Personally, I think humans think were special, and that we were put here for a reason. I think its a load of crap. I think people need to start realizing that the human race is not a special thing, put here by a man who loves us all. We are random. Random living things in the mass expanse of space. We are lucky to be here yes, but again we were lucky. Lucky that some living cell, bacteria, etc, crashed into the earth, while riding on a meteor, in its early years. But, while thinking of this, another thought came to my mind. There are MANY religions. There are different beliefs for each and every religion. Different gods rule each religion. Each religion has different groups of followers, whether it be race, color, or sex. I'm not dissing any religions, i'm not saying any are better then the other. But, which one is the CORRECT one. If people do in fact believe that there is a greater being, an ultimate creator, then which one is "the one". With so many gods, almost 1 for each of the MANY different religions on earth, one must be actually real. I would assume that each and every god could not all be real. They cold not all have created the Universe. I don't want to hear anything like, well sometimes believing helps in life. Whether what you believe in is real or not, it makes you stronger. That's not why i'm ranting about this, i'm here for the truth. Me like many others, I would assume, want to know if there is an actual ultimate creator out there. Maybe one day, everyone will find out. Maybe it will be for the better, maybe it will be for the worse.
