Which god? The one directing the Jews to start wars, the one directing the Muslims to start wars, or the one directing Christians to poke their noses in?

Or maybe the god that gave the Jews someone else's country. In this so-called
enlightened age to stage the grab of someone else's state and then claim it's
your's because god gave it to you. That sort of attitude makes the British
Empire look legit.

The British Empire is a figment of your (the Brits) imagination.

But you're a christian religious nut, surely you believe the jews are wrong?

If there is only one god, why is there more than one religion?

What's really weird is.... make two holes using your first finger and thumb on each hand, make it so you can only see those two squares, no background to confuse you. They still look different, was I remembering the image from before? I didn't believe they were the same until I put them in a photo editor and moved one square to the other. As I moved B in and out of shadow, it seemingly changed colour.

It's not really a bad thing, it's your brain compensating for the shadow, like white balance on a video camera. When you see B as lighter than it really is, that's because were it a real image and not a drawing, the substance B was made of would actually be lighter, to cause it to have the same colour even though it was in shadow. So the pixels may be the same colour, but the object B depicts is in fact lighter, your brain was correct.

If there was one religion it would be more likely god exists. But since there are so many, we can deduce it's guesswork.

I can believe a superior alien race created us in a massive petri dish, just like you could create a new breed of dog in a some kennels. But they are not gods. They are not worthy of worship, not with all the errors. Not with the lack of attempt to stop disasters.

So either:

1) God does not exist.
2) God is an arsehole.
3) God is incapable.
4) God no longer exists.

Whichever is true, why worship him?

factions disagree violently over the bible ffs
