I would upvote your comment , but I can ' t be seen upvoting someone who only has 3 stars . Think of my reputation . <| sep |> Don ' t ban ! She is doing our job for us . exposing the racist scum for what they are . CNN should disavow but who cares . Let ' s sit back and sip their tears while they BTFO themselves . <| sep |> It ' s in Oklahoma City and I go often . A good tip is that almost all nicer stuff will be in a brown box and not a branded one and ask an employee when they put out shoes each week and go that day mine is tuesday <| sep |> Voice and skin RIP <| sep |> Well , atheism is a human construct . People looking around and deciding they don ' t feel like they see a world designed and put forth by a creator . Other religions could have been human constructs , they could have been following other spiritual beings seeking worship for themselves , some schools of thought might say they ' re other cultures interacting with God in a time preChrist . So I think the larger question is Why isn ' t God immediately obvious ? Why doesn ' t He tell us exactly who He is and what He wants so there is no question about it ? There ' s a great parable I saw on here a week or so ago that I believe answers the heart of that questionTwo Rabbis are arguing over an interpretation of the Torah . The argument goes on for years , passionately . Eventually , God gets sick of hearing them argue and comes down to offer to explain it perfectly to both of them . The rabbis reject it , saying , You already gave us the Torah ! Now leave us to argue about it in peace . There ' s division so that we seek answers for ourselves . We aren ' t supposed to learn about God the way you learn about biology . Spirituality is a journey we take with God , that we grow from . We learn a little , get a little wiser , and move forward as changed people . If there was only one religion , and one interpretation of that religion , we ' d never chew on these issues in depth .
