My logic is there are no Gods or God. i don't believe in a god or gods (most of the time). Its just to control populations and for people with miserable lives to think and believe in a fairy tail afterlife.
We live, we die, the end.

You are certainly welcome to your opinion, however I think you are too bound to your Catholic programming to be open minded about god. Personally I've just seen and felt too much in my life to believe that everything is just random.

God was in my bedroom last night. My wife called out to God for about 45 minutes, but no reply.

I didn’t see anything cause I was busy.

If i was bound by my Catholic programing id also be a practising Catholic- I'm not.
I'm pretty open about gods- Love how Poseidon still gets paid respect by sailors crossing the equator. I have a little knowledge of a fair few religions. My accountants a Pagan and i have a lot of respect for creationist type religions. They don't seem to be as war like as christians, jews, islam nor as money hungry as the newer type religions like Hill Song, Scientology etc.

Most likely neither will I. However that won't prohibit me from attending a Christian church service or observing a Jewish holiday with my friends who hold specific faith, and give the same devotion to Spirit along with them.

I act respectfully when in the presence of believers but inside I'm LMFAO. Organized religions are mostly a form of cult that people brainwash their children with because they were brainwashed as children too. Like abuse begets abuse.

Our parents let us grow up without forcing religion on us so we could make up our own minds when we had minds to think our own thoughts with.

I think that might be a tad harsh, but I get your point. I also grew up without any forced religion, and have found spirituality on my own, without being bound to a specific doctrine.

I've worked with muslims who gamble, drink and eat pork..lol

I think my catholic schooling educated me to not be a believer. When doing 40min of religious education/indoctrination every school day and its a tested subject, i think those who did well in it learn that religion just doesn't add up. Perhaps the Brothers taught us to well. They taught us to think for ourselves.

What i always have found interesting is that Christianity and Islam has more in common with each other than Christianity to Judaism but Christians are subservient to the Jewish faith.

Harsh? I was being polite so I don't bring down the wrath of my god, Sunni. :)

My son's mother was a victim of the Catholic church and so messed up and still is. Guilt ridden and lied like a sidewalk. Every catholic I've got to know is much the same. What kind of belief system is that to teach a child. The Vatican has enough riches to make every poor catholic middle class but the vast majority of them live in poverty but still pray their god is going to help them. You'd think god was tRump ffs. :D

We have one life so live every minute like it's your last 'cause when the curtain comes down that's it. Before I was born I suffered nought and I expect the same once I'm gone. Mark Twain I believe and not the exact quote. Same sentiment tho.

:peace:
