God ? I think humans created god because they didn't know how they were created, what happens after death, why are they here...
Humans believe in god to don't worry about death, to have someone to talk when they are alone...
I can tell he exists in a certain way. Not in concrete terms, but in every catholic, muslim, buddhist, deist or whatever's heart.
The bad thing about religion is what people DO with it : make war, kill people who don't believe what you beleive, forbid a lot of things...
A lot of people are stupid in this way, because they think they KNOW everything about "god". For me, everything about god must be personal.
I think deism is the only "good" religion.

I believe in a Creator, and in meaning in life, but I don't believe in organised religion or living your life according to a Bible/ other book of worship.

And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.
