"Neutral discussion area for topics that cross-over between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam."

Is this the right forum do you think?

Is this what you're trying to say?

If a person does not accept the most obvious belief then he demonstrates the most ultimate stupidity.

G!d is the most obvious belief.

Therefore a person who does not accept G!d demonstrates the most ultimate stupidity.

Naw this is the right forum Snoopy. Anywhere else and things like logic and reason would come into play.

What I meant was, in a theist forum the question is rhetorical.

Yeah Snoopy, I get that. Only here can this question be raised with any degree of alacrity.

No because you still cannot answer what put god there in the first place.. without saying hes always been there..

well why create now ?

i agree whatever created all the worlds universes galaxys ect is FAR more powerfull and superior than the creation..

but saying he sent a jew down mount sianai to do his bidding is asburdist..

if you where born deaf dumb and blind would you believe in god?

no

If no-one had told you of religion would you believe in the books of abraham?

no

Do you snatch dotrines from each other for power? Judaism-chrisianity-islam-babism-bahai?

yes

Are there more than 1 centralised religion?

no..

Do the stone tablets of the 10 commandments still exist?

No..

Shall i continue?

Can you even agree amongst yourselves? Orthodox/reformation, Catholic/jehovahs/ MORMONS! - sunni/shia?

NO

Many people who call themselves athiests are not anyway.. they usually just say it to distance themselves from abrahamic monotheism.. which for all the good its done we are still feeling the aftershock afterwards..

Quite easily folks don't believe in G!d, not all of them are atheists though, the agnostics quite rightly state they don't know and will tell you later...or not.

Stupidity, no, no more than it is stupid to believe that someone rose from the dead or the earth was created in seven days.. Now before anyone jumps on me for blasphemy in the Abrahamic forum it is simply an answer to the question. And since definitely not all Abrahamics believe in a literal creation story, thank G!d, and most don't believe in the resurection, it is actually quite safe here to discuss this openly.

Now I don't think it is stupid to believe in G!d however to believe in G!d as some do takes quite a leap of faith.

the eachness in the allness, exquisitely displayed in the natural world. Of course my opinion causes folks to call me a panentheist. I believe G!d is and always has been everything science can't explain, and when science can explain it all....it will also find G!d!

Does anyone find it funny that this person self-identifies as a SHEEP?

There is nothing stupid about atheism. It can be normal for those without ears to hear or eyes to see as alluded to in the Bible. A person can function quite well in societal life without them and there is no way such a person could be considered stupid.
