Dear runner,

I am not made in the image of an imaginary entity. What aspect of my behaviour would you criticise?

' What aspect of my behaviour would you criticise?'

The denial of your Creator is very unscientific as well as rude. The clay jar should never deny the Potter. Thankfully however God has given you that choice.

Dear runner,

You have said nothing about my behaviour. Apparently you are bothered because I don't share your superstition.

http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=10065 points to an article I wrote "God is a Human Invention." People have believed in many gods - Thor, Apollo, Mithra, Allah etc. There is no evidence that the god you believe is more real than the other gods that people have invented. Like most people the particular god you 'believe' is probably the one your parents 'believe' in.

Your behaviour is what you do - not what superstition you accept. I do the best I can to accept what seems to me to be the truth. I try to behave with consideration for all others. However, I see no need to accept what I think is nonsense because other people accept it.

WmTrevor, 1, you are forgetting that these are the same engineers of the "White Australia Policy" which was designed to keep all races, religions & ethic groups other than white Christian Europeans out.

2, "religion of which we have no conception" refers to the "UN-knowable nature of God" which comes from traditional Judeo/Christian theology on the nature of God but not from almost ALL other religions that DO have clear conceptions of their Gods.

3, Deism is a sect of Christianity that claims to KNOW the nature of God.

4, so you are incapable of naming another religion that supports the Judeo/Christian God.

5, the church is the fourth power making up our civilized society you lying idiot, but of course you already knew that didn't you.

6, lying again "original intent" is the most important principle in law as you well knew before you lied about it.

7, "atheists" are also in the habit of using satanic imagery, luciferian language tricks & perpetrating acts of pure evil like accusing others of lying while lying themselves as well as abusing children, stealing from the poor.

The view of Hinduism is that while God cannot be conceived due to the limitations of the mind, one can know God directly once the mind is removed out of the way.

Meanwhile, until one is able to relinquish their dependence on their mind and experience God directly, which could take years if not life-times of dedication, it is a good idea to temporarily use some concept and/or image of God for one's worship, as a constant focus and reminder of one's aspiration to experience God directly. For some it could be the Judeo/Christian concept, for others it could be Thor, Apollo, Mithra or Allah and of course there are also a variety of Hindu gods and goddesses available to choose from according to one's personal taste - the seeker of God should choose whichever most appeals and inspires them on their spiritual journey.

Yuyutsu, all that is fine but Australia has a 100% Christian constitution.
