Here is my concessionarry "layman's theory". It lets god exist, but allows for fallability. Sorry, Pobody's Nerfect, as the mug says.

I think it's crazy how religious people are like atheists when it comes to science. They are quick to say that scientific explanations are myths ... despite the obvious piles of evidence. Yet, they believe whole-heartedly in something that has no evidence at all. It's like --- Hello? Did you get your definitions for "truth" and "myth" completely mixed up?

I know, I used to be Christian.. for six months. Mainly, I just wanted a chance to figure out what it was really all about. I really respect truly religious people, for they are some of the nicest and most moral people in the world. It's the ones that abuse it that you have to worry about.

Logic and proof are faith's enemies, and many (if not most) people with faith will agree with this. Faith erradicates the need for proof, which then becomes a burden that is swept aside.
Ned Flander put it best: "Science is liek a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you the ending." And Homer: "Facts, Schmacts... Facts can be used to prove anything that is even remotely true...."

Here's another theory of mine that I actually kind of stole from Anne Rice's "Memnoch The Devil".
Basically, God is not this all-powerful being that we imagine him to be. He is another life form, beyond what we can perceive because of our physical and mental limitations. He is using the physical Universe (the one we know) as a laboratory experiment. He is trying to figure out how he came to exist. He is watching us evolve and grow, watching for the next evolutionary step that allows us to, for example, use telepathy or telekinesis or things of that nature. He is convinced that, at one point, he was actually a physical being at one point, and that he evolved into what he is today. Trippy, huh? But it would make a hell of a lot more sense than current religious views.

The funny thing is, they usually feel the same way, sort of. Like I live life with no hope or anything. i have tons of hope, for reachable things, and some for unreachable. I still buy lottery tickets :D

I started writing a story when i was 19 (I may finish it someday).
it starts at the beginning of Judgement Month. The time-tables got off a little, and there were too many people on Earth for the old "Doomsday" booking system to work, so it was going to take a month to process everyone. The main character was Damien Triplesix, who had just recently found out he was the anti-christ. All the people in the world were spereated int o 3 categories: Those going to Heavan Those going to Hell Those going to Purgatory Heaven was for good christians. When they ascended, they still got to do "good christian" things, like pray a lot and abstain from sex. Purgatory was where the bad people went. Hell, as according to hardcore "good" christians, was for everyone else. As lucifer explained it to Damien: "Hell isnt a Punishment, it is for everyone who isnt christian. You dont honestly think we would punish Jews, Muslims and Athiests for being good people, but picking the wrong book, do you?" All people were mmarked for their destinations. Hellbound grew horns, Heavenbound halos, and those going to purgatory turned black and white. There was much fighting caused by people who expected a halo, but got horns or b&w....
