There is no God. All religion is a made-up thing designed to control the folk with more simple minds (and I don't mean Jim Kerr). The sad thing is that it still works, even today.
Universe is amazing. I could watch programmes on it for days.
Death. You're born, you live, you die, you decompose. Fin.
On the other hand, if the characters of the main religions did exist, then in 2000 years time are we going to witness a Holy War between the Believers Of Jobs and the Almighty Sect Of Gates? They're two blokes as close to gods as I can imagine having lived recently, and both do/did magic that few people can understand much less copy successfully. When you phrase it like that, it really does hit home just how incredibly ridiculous all religion is.
Basically you're arguing over who has the better pretend best friend.
