They are mutually exclusive

Says the one who has excluded any possibility that he might be wrong...

Yes, I have excluded that possibility because I am absolutely certain (that's MY faith) that a man-made god does not exist under any "religion" and we're killing ourselves and others over its nonsense. Enlightenment is inspiring, you should try it!

I agree that a man-made god does not exist. As for the rest, you have admitted to drawing your conclusion independent of the data and yet you have the gall to accuse others of failure to think critically...

No, I admitted to no such thing. I've been a student of all of this nonsense for over 40 years, poured over the data. "God" is a made up entity. I believe there is an ENERGY we can all tap into, but a man-made god, No.

How nice, an energy that provides everything but demands nothing.

And why shouldn't it?

Don't you think it convenient that this "energy" suits you perfectly? That its desires for you, if any, line up perfectly with yours, or that it sort of mindlessly provides what you need?

I began a rebuttal but I really think this is something you need to learn for yourself. All the best,

By the grace of God, I did.

Yes, because nothing created everything makes one a critical thinker....

Can I upvote this twice?
And I'd like to say that with what the church did to people for a VERY long time makes me want to not care if god exists anyway. I still wouldn't worship him.
