I don't hate you misombra ! Heck if I knew you, I'd make you put this anger and energy into the bedroom and have a religious hatef*ck until we were both too sore and swollen to walk ! :-D

Now back to the point :-P I know what you're saying, believe me, but in reality religion isn't causing any of these things, mankind causes these things. Religion is just a moral shelter to hide behind while they commit these atrocities.

Kind of like the old saying, guns don't kill people, people kill people.

i agree that it's a moral shelter but i also think it's a great motivator. plus guns are something we can hold in our hands. god and religion is not. it's all in peoples heads.

[Illusional]

why doesn't everyone just follow ME.. and then all of your problems would be solved because we would be too drunk to care about anything else.

eco... i guess you weren't talking to me because i know that god isn't a religion. but everyone still should follow me..

or atleast follow me to the bar...

god... religion... it's all the same lame fantasy to me.

To clarify MVPs point: There is a simple logical problem with the
"well, then who created the universe?" argument:

If God created the universe, then who created God?

Its the same question, just one more level up. Since it doesn't bring one any closer to an answer, its a pretty worthless argument.

God is a spirit, not a person.
Asking who created God is like asking who greated Oxygen.

[misombra]

there is a clear, scientific answer to how oxygen is created.

You're right there is a scientific explanation for it.
So my comment was pretty much... lame then.

But there is no denying... there is a good energy, a force and He is whom we label a god.
For example... the Secret is all about believing and having faith. That is God.

Lmao! True. That is sad though Misombra. You shouldn't be deleting posts just because you don't agree with what they are saying. that's a misuse of your authority.

[misombra]

coco, i respect that people believe in god. that is fine. what i don't agree with is all the atrocities in the world his fans have committed. then after committing some of the worst atrocities ever, they can act like they are superior to the rest of human kind.

coco, the posts i deleted were not posts of disagreement. they were of eco telling me i'm a ditz and stoopid and all kinds of other misspelled insults. i have also deleted my own posts engaging with her. so therefore it is not a misuse of my authority.

[ecojeanne]

no i didn't misombra! you better stop before i call you a dourke.

^^sad mis lol

The Secret is a ridiculous new-age faux religion that basically tells adults that fairy tales and wizards are real. I believe in the psychological principle that focusing on positive things engenders a positive attitude, I believe in the sociological principle that people are attracted to to others in the state they want to be in (i.e., if you want to be happy, you are attracted to happy people), and I believe that a positive attitude affects the way people treat you and perceive your strengths / weaknesses. However, I think its a load of bullshit to say that there is a magic fairy-tale universe that reads my thoughts and gives me things.

For one, many thoughts are conflicting and the universe cannot grant everyone their thoughts.

Secondly, I followed the principles of the Secret. As a teenager, I thought of Beyonce pretty frequently; however, to date, she has never visited my bedroom. I've never even met her.

Thirdly, the people who made the Secret are scam artists and retards. The guy in the Secret who is the financial guru who tells you that by writing over his bank account statements his situation improved, actually improved his financial fortunes by ****ing over investors, lying to them, and swindling their money to the tune of £800,000.

The physicist on the Secret believes that we can solve terrorism by creating a Vedic Defense Shield: we build a center to house 60,000 monks who just meditate the world's problems away.

A better summation of the Secret is this video, courtesy of the Chaser's War on Everything:

I could go into much more detail on physics and logic to explain just how utterly absurd nearly every single claim in the Secret is, but its kind of a waste of time.
