Obviously I dont "believe" in any of them.<br /><br />"Belief" is properly based on *reason* not on "faith". Otherwise we say that we "do not know".apostateimpressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08992369104954433139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-23759544937168007212011-10-22T13:53:36.564+03:002011-10-22T13:53:36.564+03:00"My post was not about theist religions as a ..."My post was not about theist religions as a whole but about the Abrahamic* religions."<br /><br />The "religion phenom" cannot be easily separated into this or that, they all seek to answer the unanswerable; the how and who and what and where (and when) of it is so much, much less than the why of it. It's more a pudding than a stew, and it's really difficult to separate one from the other. Sorry I hit a nerve. Just using a well known simile of “the beginning of man” to make a point about common, old ideas being adjusted with new findings, as they have always been. Let’s not turn this into a discussion about the unknowable and who has the best, right answer.Pascvakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08311382875179534062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-61272366803069615502011-10-22T09:33:46.740+03:002011-10-22T09:33:46.740+03:00Well theist definition of a human is: If it prays ...<i>Well theist definition of a human is: If it prays to a god, its a human.<br /><br />If it does not pray to a good, its just a great ape.</i><br /><br />My post was not about theist religions as a whole but about the Abrahamic* religions. <br /><br />* Abraham himself is a myth.Onur Dincerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041378853428912894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-31492272193010400512011-10-22T00:34:14.011+03:002011-10-22T00:34:14.011+03:00Well theist definition of a human is: If it prays ...Well theist definition of a human is: If it prays to a god, its a human.<br /><br />If it does not pray to a good, its just a great ape.Fantyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969348276219179258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-66300310503685320932011-10-21T22:26:05.054+03:002011-10-21T22:26:05.054+03:00perhaps the Garden of Edan was a lot farther back ...<i>perhaps the Garden of Edan was a lot farther back in time --say 4 million years ago-- than we ever thought?
