I made a commitment not to get into this thread.
Recent posts have made me question that, however.

! I must say that people in this thread have all the time of the world on their hand....to waste ofcourse.
Who gives a flying eff about someone started playing wow and believes that his beliefs are trumbling?
Second case would be (which he forgot to put there) is:
After started playing wow he was unable to give much time to his family. So his wife lied to him to make him afread.
"I hear foot steps...be on your guard."

I have only one thing to say of Mapled013 and Faceshield's discussion:
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
That is all.
Actually, that's a bit of a lie. I do have something else to say, about mapled's earlier relationship with god thingy. That's all very well about the trust and the loveable huggable stuff, but I have a slight qualm with the whole idea:
In the
majority
of happy human relationships that I'm aware of, both sides of the relationship tend to be tangible, visible, or otherwise have some sign of actually existing.
And that's the one big reason that I don't believe in any god/gods: There is absolutely no reason why me believing in, for instance, a floating mandarin-speaking orange and purple banana skin the size of an electron with 17 different heads each representing a different animal's genatalia is ANY more ridiculous than someone believing in god.
People claim to have had god come to them in wonderful dreams. 1. Not only is it highly possible that it was just a dream, 2. You cannot prove this in any way, and 3. Isn't it awfully strange that people who claim to have had gods / angels come to them in dreams always do pretty well for themselves? Take the founder of the mormons: He was of humble origins and relatively standard living conditions (I think), and then he claims to have seen a vision with an angel. Then, before you know it, he founds his own religion's bank, has hundreds and hundreds of devout followers, and he gets to run for president!
If god really is a nice being / existance / thing, why doesn't he / she / it just come and say ''Look, mindless peons, I DO exist, try to be nice and don't kill people!''. It'd sure save a hell of a lot of bother. Oh wait, no, ''God doesn't work that way''. How convenient. Cough cough.
Ok, I really did have more than one thing to say about their discussion. Sorry :P
Do you know why God can not be seen? Simple example. Suppose you control the entire world including its instence and sit on one chair. Would you consider millions of people trying to get to you in person so they can explain their problems. If you do grant their wishes and they get what they need...they are still not happy. In return they would come back and swear at you, yet you grant them what they need again, they swear at you again and this time they come with a threat just because you did them a favor and granted their wishes and they werent happy with the outcomes.
In the end they will gather up and eventually attempt to kill you because none of them will be happy.
This is how popularity works bro. And God chose not to be seen just because of that. Yet he listens to those who believe that he exists, makes their ways easier to succeed, and grants their wishes if he sees that it would do good to them. If they go on the wrong path he makes them feel guilty and makes them realize that they are going to the wrong path. If they still choose to go towards the wrong path, he does not force them return. Why? Because humen were marked in the heart that they have their own free will to do what they wanna do. They will be tested and they will be punished on the day of judgement for their wrong doings.
Do you know that it was written in every book that Humen near the end of this world will stop believing in God? Today many people like you, believe whatever they see and disbelieve whatever they do not see. No one blames you for that.
If you are soo ancious for us to prove you that God Exists? Try your level best to prove that God does not exist. Fair enough?
PS: about your demand of God coming on earth and telling people to follow the right path? And to prove that he exists? He have done that through centeries. Through messengers, Through angels, Through his followers. People still didnt believe him.
I think there was a story I heared a while back, of a prophet (forgot his name) Where he saved people from a kingdom and than asked them to believe in one God. People asked for a proof of his existence and told that prophet to ask his God to give them vegitables and lots of it. Prophet did as requested, and God blessed the people the prophet saved with vegitables. People still didnt believe him. Than people requested prophet to ask his God to supply them with cooked food from heaven than they'll believe him. Prophet did as requested, and the people were blessed with the cooked food from heaven. than God asked his Prophet to ask people to sacrifice a red cow. People asked his Prophet that the Cow's age, than health, than type, and so on. Eventually People sighed and did as requested. And than they asked for another supply of cooked food from God. This time they got vegitables that gives you a bad breath (like onions, etc)
-It was a sign from God that he have done whatever he could to make people believe that he exists, people just didnt want to.
-People wished for their stuff and God granted as requested where as people couldnt fulfill one simple wish of God.
-People were eventually neglected by God and were given the sign of it.

And that's because you don't understand what 'God' means. Is it ridiculous to believe in a universe anchored in finite causaility? No? Then what is ridiculous about saying there is a first cause? Is it ridiculous to believe everything has a final end? No? Then what is ridiculous about saying that it exists?
I guess religion just makes me grumpy when I hear about young fanatics going and dying because of 'their beliefs'.
Why? They are doing what they believe is right, you are doing what you believe is right. If you get grumpy at them for their willingness to die for their beliefs, can I get grumpy at you for your lack of willingness to die?

Actually I'd be very interested to see your point of view on not just the debate, but the actual topic.
