<p>you pray to beat breast cancer..you pray you dont miss the bus in the morning...you pray your airplane doesn't crash.</p>

<p>if you wanna pray for something...pray that one day you will be such a confident student, that you wouldn't need to waste time praying...anytime you spend praying, you can using it to study lol</p>
<p>dude, seriously, if we start this discussion on this thread, this forum is going to hell and back.</p>
<p>lol you like that? i think that was clever.</p>
<p>but seriously, can we not? i think that this is actually really interesting, and i'd like to continue to have more perspectives on it.</p>
<p>I can see where fakeaccount would have gotten offended, because dhl3 sounded more like an atheist than an agnostic (might have been when you said God was equivalent to "bull****"). But I agree with zemookmook: the topic is very interesting. So may the discussion continue.</p>

This will be my last statement regarding the "God discussion":</p>
<p>Religion is created to explain the unexplainables, and your "God created all this" statement is a very good example of using religion to explain something beyond the current scientific knowledge known to men. But that doesn't make it necessarily true; it just means we still have yet to discover.</p>
<p>-the end.</p>
<p>this is my last line as well relating to this topic, and let me say my friend i agree. i believe in the same idea you do. your view does not strike me, because i myself subscribe to it. i am an agnostic my self, to be fair, we all are. in the day were all agnostics because i can never tell you whether his exsistance is real or not. but by night, despite my doubts i look at all the glories of the world, i look at the feelings i get throughout the day, and i ask my self "how can there not be a god?". god is real i know he is, its an ineffable discription, BUT I KNOW. i recall one famous philospher sayed that he cant explain his exsistance, but hes knows for fact that his existance is real ( i feel ashamed, awsome quote). i agree with u dhl, i have the same feeling about the notion of god, lol as a big historian i also looked at the ancient judeo-christian-islamic beliefs, and let me tell you, its all b.s. ( i dont want to say to much or i offend many here). despite all this i have faith, because,dhl, in the end, i dont wanna believe, like many humans, i am alone. just the fact, i feel better when i pray, is more than enough, MORE than enough, for me to pray for him the next time.</p>
<p>You're cheezy.</p>
