I was picking up Mr Canoe' s point that we are believers in his god but are lying about it. Take it up with him. Or are you saying you agree that Dicky, Shaker and I are all lying?

The biscuits were a clue.

But religion, alas, does exist. I wish I could say otherwise but I can't.

Take comfort in the fact that it is losing its grip.

There will always be credulous people to succumb to it, so we must never stop fighting to minimise its darker effects on the weak-minded.

....Or is it people losing their grip?....yep, lots of evidence for that.
You though have to have faith in sentimental secular humanist cobblers.

Indeed, spurred on by religious rubbish there seems to be no bounds to what they will stoop to for their "God".

That's all there is! "Gods" seem powerless to stop them.

I think about lots of things that don't exist outside of human mind. Yesterday I thought about house price inflation. Today I am going to be working on a data visualisation problem. Much of our headspace is given over to concepts that have no independent existence or meaning outside of human mind and culture. God seems to me to sit fairly and squarely in that category of stuff.

Coming ridiculously late to the discussion, but I can remember having an understanding of something when very small, and then people told me what that something was, so I made it fit that something, even though I knew it wasn't really right. Over time it became right - Len's brainwashing I suppose - and more and more right til the whole thing imploded and I was left again wondering, 'so what is that?' once more.

Shaker, God is not religion. Duh, try and get an education.

Nearly, I don't believe you for a second. I know you've been thinking about God today. Not is a positive way but you have Him on your mind. He's not done with you.
