if you look at nature it is easy to see what really matters, food, shelter,safety and protection from the weather the rest is just trappings that we think we need to be happy, to some people this is a BMW to others its a mansion, others, designer clothes, but does any of that really make them truly happy or its that happiness derived from having more than someone else, again this is mirrored in religion, this shows when people will only accept what they think they have is better than what everyone else has!.

Telling someone with a faith that it's a "coping mechanism" is like telling someone with a back ache that they just want a rest........you don't feel what they feel, it's simply that you don't believe it possible. why else would faith be of comfort? they all say the same thing about being in a better place etc. but does that not mean there was something missing in the first place?, most alcoholics or drug addicts do what they do for similar reasons in as much as they to are looking for more than life has to offer or to blot out the bad that's happened in their lives, i know it seems an o

a wise old fool who has seen and heard it all before, faith is something personnel yet religion strives to make it collective almost like a club but full of my tales are better than yours bla bla all of which smacks of man rather than a higher being

Personally (and it's only my opinion) but I think this is where non believers are a bit narrow minded mate, they seem to want to examine the manuscripts of faith and take them word for word ( by the way, IMHO it's where a lot of religious people go wrong too)............the bible or whatever book you follow can only paint in the crude, broad strokes of languageIt's upto the reader (if they have a mind to) to think and move beyond that.How can you describe literally that which is indescribable ?not narrow minded but inquisitive, would you blindly believe what a second hand car salesman was tell

i have said this before take the tale of Noah,the present version in the bible was preceded by a Babylonian version some two thousand years earlier, indeed its is believed that they developed floating pontoons to keep there livestock safe during times of flooding, there are other examples too where much earlier events were later turned into acts of God rather than acts of men. i am not against the idea of a creator just the way it is blindly followed by numerous religions all claiming there version to be the one true religion to what they believe to be one creator,

magnetic fields have always been linked to effects on the brain, it is believed migratory birds use these magnetic fields to navigate great distances without ever having made the journey before, then there's the effect of the moon as it changes phases as in the word lunatic studies in scientific litrature discribe how many animals fron whales and dolphins to hummingbirds and wildebeests rely on the earths magnetic superhighways to navigate their way to feeding and mating grounds. humans dont use these superhighways or so it was thought. In 1993 an international team studying magnetorecep

do humans not always want "something more" especially in the bad times, naturally we look for comfort when upset and agreement from others when trying to understand something, the idea of a creator fills both voids in the absence of anything else.

is an after death experience nothing more than electrical impulses stimulating memories, like the rabbit who twitches for a time after death, would not then being brought back to life make you think it was an after death experience, as for God, maybe we were engineered but it would be a shallow being that then wanted billions to worship then for doing it, maybe man decided to benefit on the back of the creator if indeed there was a creator,
