    Why would God create a world so full of pain and suffering ? And the only way to get out of it is to pray to him ?

    Give me liz hurley feeding me grapes in a dress , Sabbath on the sound system
    What if Liz hates Sabbath and gave you an ultimatum: "It's me or Sabbath". Which would you choose?

    Do you expect to live forever? You've had enough Sabbath. It's time for some Hurley.

    You chose unwisely.

    You 'speak' as if there were just one god and that the deity concerned was 'male' . There have been thousands through the history of mankind: male, female, animals, mythical creatures and a lot else.

    Yeah but when a conversation about....God......comes up on here or down the pub .......we generally accept its the Abraham god with the white beard that's being discussed

    Are we speaking the same language ? 🤔

Well, damn for a start I don't know for sure either way and frankly I don't sweat it (it also ends up monetarily a lot cheaper that way). I just get on with life - doing the right things as best as I can; however given i do believe there is something sort of divine, I believe it is not through a creator but through ourselves and through our energies - in a way we kind of cant fully comprehend or are not fully aware of .

    That's all very romantic but it doesn't stop some dirty stinking cat pouncing on your Robin and chewing it to bits

    It's quite amusing that believers think that deities physically resemble human beings whether they be male or female.
    Deities presumably wouldn't have a navel, sexual organs or physiology that evolved in one particular species millions of years after the deity created the universe.
    Our physical appearance is the result of conditions on one particular planet with a specific chemical environment, within certain temperature bands and with a defined level of gravity.
    We homo sapiens are an extreme latecomer to the party in evolutionary terms and we may well go extinct - so why a deity would think so far in advance to mirror a certain species at a particular window in time on one particular planet is truly ridiculous.
    Deities are man-made but if one existed it could be, for all we know: sexless, weightless, lacking in physical form, colourless and just a wisp of gas that can exist anywhere in the known universe.
    Our deities who supposedly created the universe and who resemble blokes before razor blades were invented or with elephant heads represent parochialism in extremis.

    God created man in his own image. So he's multiracial and bi-sexual. His pronouns are they/them/theirs.

    Like many others, you do a lot of talking about a deity that you are (supposedly) convinced doesn't exist.
    And for the record, YHWH has as much to do with the idea of evolution as you employ logic.
    Great laugh for a Monday morning though - so very welcome

    I tend to talk about deities rather than just one of the many thousands that have existed. Culture around the world fascinates me and religion is part of all that - and I do make an effort to learn about them a great deal in my travels around the world whether it be Shintoism, Native American spirits, Sikhism, Buddhism, paganism or the various branches of Abrahamism - and I'm looking forward to visiting the Pyramids at Giza the day after tomorrow.
    Religion is a truly fascinating subject but deities say a great deal about the people that invented them in the first place. It's all about human psychology and related to time and space.
    By the way, how's the talking snake?
