Your playing church because you are just occupying your time without any benefit because there iis no god and he wouldnt be bothered about things like churches if there was one so you are just playing churches in the end, just as i used to play spiderman when i was a kid but then i grew up....
There is a God and there is a Heaven and a Hell. Also it's not a game. This is life that we're talking about. I still won't change my postion or my beliefs just because you say there's no God. Okay Mr. Wisebutt what caused the moon to be where it is and how it is today? Hmm....To late can't answer that one I guess. Not as smart as you think you are huh? Why do humans have two eyes not four or more? Why don't we have tails? We're animals aren't we? Then why don't we act like it? What are your answers for these question?
the moon is where it is by centrifical force, the matter that makes up the moon has always existed even before the big bang and simply put, the universe is one giant cycle that is way beyond our scope of comprehension for the time being due to lack of sufficient technology.
everything is a set of random events and not-so-random but logical events that leads up to where we are. it's completely logical that there might be life on one of the planets because the ingredients get matched correctly. you don't need a god to create life, just the proper conditions. scientists have, in fact, recreated the conditions for primordial ooze and saw the starts of life with single-cell organisms in labs.
so tell me this: if there is a god, why would he be all loving and yet condemn people to an enternity of oblivion or hell or whatever you choose to believe (even though the fire and brimstone hell isn't in the bible). why would do that and not simply show them and enlighten them after death? why do people have to be punished in the cruel ways of humans? why not the enlightened way of deities...afterall, what greater punishment for a murderer is there than the true knowledge, empathy, and scope of the crime he or she committed? and wouldn't god allow such a person to ask for forgiveness after this point considering that they now understand and can truely be sorry and truely be forgiven for their sins?
i'm only atheist in the sense that i choose to not have a god define who i am in my life and how i choose what i do....i've found that's the only way for me to truely have free will and actually beable to put my actions into perspective without all the BS of organized religion and the religious laws that serve no purpose other than keeping people as sheep and controling them.
