I find it interesting that you say that you don't believe in deism because there is no good reason to. This is exactly why I gave up my religious beliefs a couple of years ago. I feel that the mystery surrounding the creation of our universe and our eventual fate is imperative and I feel no need...
I'm finding it funny that people like Name_Taken are using lines such as "Well Jesus didn't condemn pedophilia, does that make it right?" To express there own views on subjects such as homosexuality. The idea of filling in the blanks of your own holy text seems hilarious/ridiculous to me
Until it can either be proven that God does not exist or it is set out that it is logically impossible for God to exist, I see atheism as a leap of faith from agnosticism.
It is foolish to draw this conclusion. You obviously have no idea of the scope of the universe. It makes perfect sense that the only place we know to sustain life (Earth) in the known universe would have conditions allowing this life. But this is by no means proof of the existence of God.
Well I don't see any crimes, inequalities or segregation being carried out in the name of Buddhism. I really don't see how you could possibly have a problem with it to be honest - I see it as more of a way of life rather than a religion
