All that study to be awar5ded a doctorate Natasha and you still did not learn that there are believers and there are adults.

Hasbeen,

<< To me religion, the belief in some supreme being, there to look after them, is simply the invention of weak people, who are not enough to face this big & often nasty world by them selves. >>

That’s your opinion! You provided no evidence but you gave reasons for not believing in ‘some supreme being’:

(1) << With recent killing events, & the thought of millions who have died most horribly of disaster genocide & famine over the centuries it is very hard for me to believe in a beneficial "god">>

Read Genesis 3 and discover what happened when the founders of the human race, Adam & Eve, decided to do it their own way and chose to sin against God. Our actions have consequences, as we see with the genocide and famine.

(2) <<If yours is an all powerful god, why do believers feel threatened enough to hate the believers in other gods. Surely you should simply feel sorry for these misbelievers (sic)>>

The teaching of Christianity is NOT to hate believers in other gods. A teacher of the Jewish law asked Jesus: “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”
“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these” (Mark 12:28-31), http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+12%3A28-31&version=NIV.
<<I simply thank god that I am not a believer!>>

When you stand before Him at death, you won’t have that view. See Mark 12:30-37, http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt+12%3A30-37&version=NIV.

Why don’t you address the content of the article?

Because we are a nominally Christian society the various forms of media feature all the usual suspects telling us that the brutal murder of the Radiant God-Man Jesus on awfully-bad-Friday is supposedly "good news". This includes the director of the outfit that Natasha is associated with.
Such claims are of course bunkum. They are certainly not based on any kind of real experience or reality-based reports of how the death-and-dying Process really works, what death requires of us, and how the individual and collective denial of death saturates every aspect of our culture.

Old Man,

<< All that study to be awar5ded (sic) a doctorate Natasha and you still did not learn that there are believers and there are adults.>>

What a degrading way to put down a woman who has a PhD in English literature from the University of Cambridge.

Your comment tells us more about you than Natasha.

How about addressing the content of her article, rather than dumping your presupposition on her.

In respect of the discussion about whether there is a God or not I would like to add my thoughts from a small blog article I wrote some time ago. As a Christian I do believe in a Supreme Intelligence that gave rise to the Universe and our part in it. I do believe we were part of that creation and have been given a free will to accept or reject the responsibilities that arise. I would argue that this Supreme Intelligence is inferred by Science. In faith I believe that Christ was who he claimed to be and that he did preach the gospels as recorded by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John who were witnesses to his resurrection.

Aren't we all in the same boat?

The belief or presumption as if we can discern and know the truth using our human senses and mind, belongs in the same category as fairies, or dragons, or flying spaghetti monsters.

Our senses evolved for the purpose of sustaining the human genome: finding food, finding procreation-partners, avoiding predators, protecting offspring, developing tools, etc. Our brains were developed for the purpose of collating the information from our senses. This meant that they were biased to focus on the objective aspect of the world rather than on Reality: any mutations that could help us to discover and know the truth behind or beyond it all, were defeated in the game of genetic survival due to their "unnecessary" waste of resources... Dreamers tend to be eaten by tigers.
