As a christian I believe that it is our fault that bad stuff happens. God gave us the choice to sin, we do, because we live in a sinful world bad stuff happens.

Our fathers were our models for God. If our fathers bailed, what does that tell you about God?

Listen to me! You have to consider the possibility that God does not like you. He never wanted you. In all probability, he hates you. This is not the worst thing that can happen.

We don't need him

We're consumers. We are by-products of a lifestyle obsession. Murder, crime, poverty, religion, these things don't concern me. What concerns me are celebrity magazines, television with 500 channels, some guy's name on my underwear. Rogaine, Viagra, Olestra.

Martha Stewart?

Fuck Martha Stewart. Martha's polishing the brass on the Titanic. It's all going down, man. So fuck off with your sofa units and Strinne green stripe patterns.

what makes you think we do not need God. I believe everyone needs him.

we obviously don't need god in this day and age. it's actually pretty absurd that people could still believe in a big man that lives in the sky.

The majority of the population is no longer concerned with God.

Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.

The thread topic is"

Is god outdated? It's related to the 'here and now'.

What makes you even think your special enough, never alone capable to ponder eternity?

Religion is not relevant, and of course it is outdated, it is written thousand year old when they explained everything with "Oh yeah god did it", nowadays we use scientific logic and reasoning to prove stuff, not talking snakes and an imaginary friend kk.

Shakespeare's works are some 400 years old. Have they too lost all relevance to humanity?

Shakespeares words were also works of fiction.

Shakespeares words were also works of fiction.

Fiction or not, they offer man insight into his own nature and some powerful and universal messages.

Don't be such a Philistine.

Eh.
I think St Augustine provides the most insight in terms of understanding the bible and your faith - when the word of God found in the bible contradicts your God given sense, accept that much has passed and much will continue to, and to change. Rationalisation can be a part of faith.
