Ah, the same who sang:

 

"...

Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah But what's confusing you Is just the nature of my game Just as every cop is a criminal And all the sinners saints As heads is tails Just call me Lucifer 'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

... "

And the winer with 58% of the vote is, 1. Don't believe in god Thank god for that surely if he existed he would have voted with the yes I believe lot? Or can't you vote for yourself?

Tut tut Mr H, 1 n in winner? typo???????????   I'd like to think Will I am's bro should be pleased with this poll, I think there was a good cross section with possibly only the VX220 in common & plenty of opinion justifying their vote? Unfortunately, dependant on your point of view will most likely determine whether you'd call it the poll of polls on on the question of God?

You needed a Poll to tell you that VX220ers are an ungodly bunch ?

 

Of course, I consider myself the exception that proves the rule...

 

Also, I'd like to contest peoples claims here.

 

Putting aside SSSF moments. How many have had 'God please help me' moments. For those that are absolutely dead set 'don't believe', why is there a tenancy to look to the heavens for help when things are looking bad. Chink in the Armour maybe ?

Are you having a laugh, a chink in our armour, I have had a lot of very near death episodes in my life and never once thought please god as I know it would be a waste of a breath. Please god save this prat who likes dangerous sports and has over cooked it again or please god help the youngster I knew who was dying with cancer. Well that's a difficult choice for a god. Sorry my friend but any god who chooses to save a prat like me who got himself stuck in a wreck 30M under the sea or any other of the very near misses I have had self inflicted doing dangerous sh*t and let's a youngster pass away suffering the way I saw it is not a god I ever want to know. Not sure how much death you have come across in your life but I have seen a number of very close good friends suffer and die and like I have said I would love to have a face to face chat with this tosser of a god of yours then have nothing to do with him again. Now back to the scotch its a bit late for serious stuff and I have had a few

[RabnaKS]

You're making me smile while I know you must be serious, under the influance & I've just necked my glass of red while I wind do after a long slog at work to come home to missus cleaning dusty house & debris after plasterer & bullying me into helping when she sodedof out Sat & Sun while I stripped old plaster off! Suppose it's no rest for the wicked:-D

Totally Sober (Drink and Drugs off limits for me...) but getting late...

 

Problem is, you are always going to have that argument, no matter what.

 

Lets say, the Almighty removed all natural causes of death ?Well that's clearly going to have issue...

So lets go with except old age. That sounds better.

 

Problem, is that's all you will have known, so you wouldn't appreciate that blessing. So you will move your argument moves to:

 

What kind of a God lets people suffer grief of having to loose loved ones. Or let people die from in car accidents etc. and put people through the pain of loosing loved ones ?

 

OK, lets get rid of the possibility of people dieing in accidents. Maybe change human nature, so everyone remains fairly ok when a relative passes away from old age.

 

Well that's all you have ever known, so you wouldn't appreciate that blessing. Problem, is that's all you will have known, so you wouldn't appreciate that blessing. So you will move your argument moves to:

 

What kind of God allows Wars, lets people kill each other etc. ?

 

OK, lets get rid of that as well. No Wars, Murder etc.

 

Well that's all you have ever known, so you wouldn't appreciate that blessing...

 

We eventually get to. The worst that can happen, is you can get a paper cut. Not exactly a big deal right ?

 

Problem, is that's all you will have known, so you wouldn't appreciate that blessing. So you will move your argument moves to:

 

What kind of God lets you have paper cuts and suffer pain... Sounds a bit stupid. But if you have never known anything else, paper-cuts probably sound like the end of the world...

 

Ultimately, we end up saying why isn't it just like Paradise. But it started out there...

 

From an Islamic perspective anyway, fife is a test/trial. there are many different types of trial. Both through difficulty and through ease (what do you do with your wealth).

 

For those that don't get the opportunity (die young or don't get a fair crack at it), they get a free ride or tested later (depending on specific circumstances).

ghand,

 

I'm sorry about your friend that died of cancer. I hope you will both hook up again some time some place in the here after. 

Funny thing is, as in St Paul, God sometimes turns the hard men into saints. You wanna be careful getting into this discussion too deeply..

 

Oh St Hand, please lend me...ermmm.. a hand with this great problem I have of no belief so I might overcome my doubting.

 

St Hand, Patron saint of no believers. ... I'm Loving it already. Don't wanna worry you too much fella, but The Almighty works in mysterious ways.

 

 

 

[slindborg]

soooooo, where is this 'place' where we all eventually meet up? are there dinosaurs and neandethals there too? afterall if a god did invent everything and there is some place where everything goes, it must all be there...?

does it include wasps, mosquitos ?

[Zoobeef]

Right, if I go to heaven and meet up with my dead gran. How old is she? How will I recognise her if shes 25? Or if I'm 65 how will she recognise me? On a side note I'm a none believer, I think you die and thats it, the end. Although i still use the names You often hear me say jesus christ, for gods sake, for the love of god etc when im annoyed. I think its just because i learnt english and they are well used things to say when your pissed off.
