Some friends sent me a link, entitled an Interview with God. http://www.theinterviewwithgod.com/popup-frame.html
However, it's really an Interview with Buddha.
Sure, the pictures are great, and the pastel tones leave you all warm and fuzzy. Sadly, no major religion of the world except Buddhism comes even close to what is portrayed on the website- neither in doctrine nor practice.
And guess what? Buddhism is the only major religion that does not talk about the existence of a supreme being- hmmm.
Missing from the interview is any mention of the homophobes, the bigots, the racists, the people dying of AIDS in Africa because of Catholic doctrine, the fighting and wars conducted under different gods' names, or the Book of Mormon that says black people are evil.
Dupak Chopra likes to tell people to ask us Atheists "Which God don't we believe in?" Psycho Babble Excrement.
His point is that god is inevitable, but that she is represented in none of the writings we have, as well as none of the theologies.
Just like we now have "Intelligent Design" to explain the clash between Evolution and Creation.
Most Atheists believe in Evolution- however, it is an evolution that is solid, slow, deliberate, steady, and a real joy to explore.
The other, modern-day "evolution" is the herky-jerky, shucking and jiving, on-the-fly evolution that is happening every time Creationism gets punched in the mouth by science- like "Maybe God's 7 days are different than ours!"
Yeah, right...
"Somebody had to create us!" Uh, ok, but who created god? God can have been here forever, but the universe cannot have been?
It's a sad evolution, one lacking integrity, and without moral compass.
I am an Atheist who hopes he is wrong. Really. All those millions of people wasting all that money, all that time in Church, all that preaching, the priests being celibate, perhaps getting Nun- I don't have to be right, just to have all that go to waste.
Nope, if I'm wrong, so be it- but I'm not.
