[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Harry Potter and God

[Child Of Midian]

I have issues with beliefs. I don't buy into the idea that the sky is proof
of god or that there is simply no other explanation for existence. To me,
it's like saying we know wood on fire produces heat, so when we feel heat it
is wood on fire. 

I was raised Baptist (hah, hah!) but I never believed, once I realized
adults where fallible I realized that religion was something I could
question, I then looked at it and said, no, it's not real. The bible, IMO,
and Quran, etc, are simply historical documents cloaked in supernatural
narratives that explain the unexplainable. I also view religion, ALL
religion as a form of control and Christianity as the most hypocritical lie
of human existence. But that's just me. I've tried, tried and tried to
figure out why people believe and I can't.

No.Limberger responds:
There are also many atheists and followers of other
religions who were once Christian, but rejected it
and its beliefs.
