GammaGlobulin Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 For many years, I have thought about this question. Why is it that readers here so clearly love Topics which have anything to do with God? What is the fascination, anyway? If you've seen One God, then you've seen them all. So then, why the fascination? Is it that some believe that the next God Topic will be better than the last? Or, what? Most adults I know rarely even mention God. So why the God Obsession here, anyway? Here on TV, it seems that almost everybody is interested in commenting on only two discussions concerning what? GOD and GIRLS GOD and GIRLS Everyday, it's just the same old thing..... Why can't we have ... DEVIL and DAMES DEVIL and DAMES... For a change? There is no logic in this world.... Regards,... Gamma 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retarius Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 There is really nothing as important to know as whether God exists. Blaise Pascal's wager explains the reason. It always seem to me that the wager is a useful idea that can be more widely applied eg to climate change....the 'scientists' seem to have been coerced into becoming the champions for the green lobbying industry and perhaps this has caused many people to deny the man-made climate change theory. But what are the consequences of the 'scientists' being wrong? Well we all in conveniences a bit! But what are the consequences of the 'deniers' being wrong? Extinction. Same with god's existence, I don't believe that any god exists...but what if I'm wrong? Eternal damnation. Thus, the question of God's existence fascinates me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Croc Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) I think the upsurge in these threads on here is led by people from one particular country which is fast becoming a Christian theocracy in the style of an Iran or Afghanistan.

Now what country could that be I wonder? Fortunately the British god botherers left England and landed in the Americas in 1620. Us Brits said "Thank god for that" and began losing interest in god and religion. It certainly does not colour British politics as it does in the United States.

God is a pile of doo-doo and anyone who believe in life after death is a solipsistic pile of doo-doo. I am talking about Pascal Blaine's argument, and not saying whether I afgree with him or not. I don't obviously because I'm not a superstitious moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sunmaster Posted January 11 Popular Post Share Posted January 11 I'm one of the main posters in the "God Thread". Not American. Not religious. In fact, what we talk about has very little to do with religion and all to do with philosophy and life in general. "All these God threads", you say? How many are there? 1? 2? How many bargirl threads are there? 5000? I don't know what you like, but I get bored to death reading about bars, girls, taxes, visa issues. I really don't understand what your issue is with people exchanging opinions on life. Does it bother you? 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just asking because such minds are completely alien to me, that's all. One man's trash is another man's treasure. As simple as that. If you had a genuine interest in finding out what makes me and people like me tick, you could have asked us directly in the God thread. Why didn't you? Maybe because you prefer people to confirm your own bias, since 99% of posters here share your same view. And what makes you think that someone interested in spirituality and philosophy is not interested in science also?? The logic behind this escapes me. The God thread is by far not as popular as you think. Yes, it's the longest thread in Thaivisa/AN history, but it's really only a handful of guys (believers, atheists and anything in between) sharing their views on life and themselves.
