What's wrong with a Belief in God?

I should also note that I firmly believe in other worlds and planes of existence, however we might define them. I would love to have some sort of experiences with that world while I am in this life, perhaps through out of body travel or encountering some visitors as Kchoo has done.
I thought the Invid were God. :tongue8:

Please stay on topic, we are not discussing claimed or alleged contact with aliens in this thread topic...

I'm curious as to why you would kill yourself without a religious belief?.

Quite simple. There have been some times in my life where I sincerely wished I could just cease to exist. As in just vanish into nothing. If I were an atheist, then suicide would be the closest possible thing to what I wanted and therefore the best option.

According to my religious beliefs, our physical body can die but our soul, essential being, or whatever you want to call it does not. That soul goes to another world. It could be heaven, hell, purgatory, or reincarnation as something else. The point is, it goes somewhere. So, I would not really cease to exist but could go to a world even worse than this one. In any event, I have been created for some purpose in this life and taking an early exit would be giving a middle finger to the one who created me. Whether I like it or not, God is in charge and I may as well please him.

Nothing is wrong with it at all, I agree.

I was polarised toward the atheist mind for many years, until I encountered who really knows what and it went singular as all are from the same bed. Let me see past the conflictions of faith. Bigger to admit the devil is in the detail and except all the same. If a time comes where one faith is all that is needed, then I would call it as a marker as to stepping on, how ever it is achieved, war, moderacy or mass E.T event.

Even if religion disappeared from our lives, we would still ask the same question.

Agnosticism is the bi of religious behaviour and comes in at number three, ending the possibility of another stance.

Third in line as it stems from the other two and caps eventuality. Conflict forces the alternative to believing or not. Enough to give respect in some form to both parties.

Seems a natural and good sign of progress, to be finding a way to agree on such a core level subject.

The capped at three.

Perspective on faith.
Political bias, the rest is subdivision and perversion.
Sexuality as straight, gay or bi.
Future, past and present limit time to three states.
Hair design as neg, cauc and mong in humans.
Three great apes.
And the last I can think of is all colour coming from three.

Black and white. Night and Day, fought like humans and the result was colour. Sounds like what will happen when we go super optic.

Fratty and out of touch.
I just had a long conversation with a friend of mine about religion and science and we both looked at it from the opposite perspective of what is usually debated. We both agreed that in many ways science is actually justifying the existence of many spiritual beliefs.

A growing number of theoretical physicists, for instance, are now convinced that we live in a holographic universe. To me this sounds so similar to the Buddhist belief that the universe is an illusion, a series of mental constructs that aren't real. We both agreed on a number of other ideas put forth by quantum physics that can be applied to religious beliefs depending on how one chooses to interpret them.

I see the quantum science as begging for something to dissappear and for us to be able to reverse engineer the process and create the ultimate rabbit out of the hat. Laying it all to rest along with finding out that we are the creators we had faith in.

Very human to not realise who you really are.

Thick as shit and faster than a speeding bullet, they come to me.

It's a level three lock down but still the holy one did the business and turned it into the fantastic four.

Just to be different.

The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit makes a trinity...

Same as body, mind and soul, is a trinity as well.
