If you cannot disprove the existence of God, or prove the existence of God

174. Totally agree.

I fully acknowledge, not just some people, but MOST people are predisposed to faith. (I think that may be changing over time though, bears further study.)

I find the LGBT correlation compelling. I fully believe my friends when they describe their sexuality in that manner; it is their nature, not a conscious choice. My inability to extend faith is a perfect mirror of that balance of choice/nature.

I find that highly interesting as a means of, for instance, falsifying the entire abrahamic faith, as all of the old testament source documentation speaks to same-sex relations as being sinful. Which would imply, as with me on my 'I cannot change my nature, I cannot advance faith without verification, therefore I am doomed', so too for my friends, who cannot deny their sexual nature, and thus are similarly (according to same old-testament/torah/all three abrahamic faiths doctrine) doomed.

Created sick, commanded to be well. That's a horrible proposition. Sadistic. I would call it evil.


I simply cannot believe a creator, that would bother creating us at all, is sadistic enough to engineer such a situation. That we could be doomed for our nature, as created.

I would, if I had to flip a mental coin, assume that such a being simply didn't exist, apply Ockham's razor and assume the specifications in that source documentation are wholesale fabrication by humans with an agenda, sooner than I would accept the premise of a god that intentionally engineers us 'unwell'/doomed, and denies us any tools to salvage that fate.


There is of course a third option; a god as supposed above that cares enough to create us, but doesn't actually desire a personal relationship, and the concepts of hell, and sin as specified in the OT are corruptions, invented by humans without god's assistance, consent, approval, etc.
