Ok check this out. Some scientist now think that there are more than one universe. That there are millions of universes, and at the begingin sorta a mother universe producing all these other universes. And that laws dont exist in the mother universe, for example there is no time , cause maybe our universe is the only one that has a law for time, so anyway the mother unverse cant die, cause there is no time, now this mother universe could be god or whatever , and black holes, there sucking in all this matter ,and after billions and billions of years, finnaly it builds up anuf all these planets and stars and solar systems, that it drops off of the black hole and explodes creating another universe, and that universe will have the same laws that this one does, and so on and so forth, so there could be billions and billions of universes, and it sorta makes me just wanna look back at it all or get out of this universe or somthin

I myself do not, I think god is just people's need for an answer. They cant find one so they make up god and say he is behind everything so they can have a reason and feel comforted.

Then why make that god lay down all these prohibitive laws and preach denial of life?
Not meaning to offend anyone - its late.

my freind has a great argument against the question of faith:
- imagine you have a freind/relative who is married to the most devoted amazing person and then that freind/relative dies with the last mortal thought that, yes, they had found true true love and on their death bed they were truely happy with the life they had and wasn't it all just so bloody marvelous!!
ok .. you leave the funeral thinking 'fuck me, he/she is dead but, christ they had a great life and i saw them die so happy.
then you find out that the persons spouse was actually having an affair and never loved your freind at all but felt trapped. Wouldn't you say that no matter how fucking happy your freind died, surely knowing the factual truth about the reality of who they though they loved
would have been infinitely better for that dting persons human spirit if they really thought about ut?
....it's a good argument which i kinda agree, sort of with...
then you find out that his bitch wife actually was sucking everyones cock for years and just pandered to the

Keyfumbler:
I actually disagree - ignorance in that case I would say is bliss.
If you had no reason to suspect your wife cheating on you - and were convinced it was a loving relationship, how could knowing the ugly truth (ie. your example) make the situation ANY better? Infact the man would have probably died from a broken heart?! We all have misconceived ideas of how others perceive ourselves - if we TRULY knew what everyone else thought about ourselves (bar those übermenschen amongst us) our ego would be destroyed, we would have destroyed the very "i" we have come to know and love?!
I don't think faith can be argued against other than pointing out that one can't get away from it. I have faith in grammar, I have faith in the sun rising tomorrow etc. etc. When it comes down to it, I don't think you can discriminate between one belief being a true belief and another mere faith. It's all the same mechanism. Perhaps the only way out is to be a sceptic, but even so - if that were your reason for being a sceptic, then you have faith in being a sceptic for that reason. [trying to apply euclid's paradox here - ie. undermine faith by faith].
Anyhow.

If someone proved that there was a god..
there would be no such thing as faith.
