Being spirtual > being religous
believing in something > believing in nothing
atheism = misguided

I pity people that only believe in themselves. If I believe God is anything, I believe it is the cumulative presence of the human race, and that serving God means doing that which is best for your fellow man.

There, that's the most religion you're going to get out of me in this topic.

So as mankind develops, God develops? So we should all do our best to level up and have the ultimate GOD.

Does doing away with the scum of the Earth (rapists, child molesters, serial killers, etc.) give him any special abilities?

Is feeding the impoverished nations considered a side quest that gleans the greatest armor?

You can't kill people, but you should try to help them. Yes, feeding impoverished people is a worthwhile endeavor. One of those people may be capable of an idea that could feed everyone on the planet, but they are so busy feeling hungry that they can't think about it properly.

atheism != believing in nothing

Here's my belief system as best as I can explain it.
"I'm not aware of too many things, I know what I know, if you know what I mean."
"There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of in your philosophy."
"Life's not a song, life is not bliss, life is just this: it's living. You'll get along, the pain that you feel, can only be healed by living. You've got to keep on living."
"What the world needs now is love, sweet love. It's the only thing that there's just too little of."
"How can they tell you that you coulda, shoulda, woulda. Well ask them can they walk in your shoes. Cause it's your life, and you do what you wanna and remember baby it's all about you."

Everything with saying has already been said in a song.

Why only humanity? Is it our consciousness that makes the world revolve around us? And nature is merely a backdrop for our greatness to exploit at our leisure?

I disagree! If man is good enough to deserve a soul then so do insects and trees.

"I tried to find Him on the Christian cross,but He was not there; I went to the Temple of the Hindus and to the old pagodas, but I could not find a trace of Him anywhere.

I searched on the moutains and in the valleys but neither in the hights nor in the depths was I able to find Him. I went to the Caaba in Mecca, but He was not there either.

I questioned the scholars and philosophers but He was beyond thair under-standing.

I then looked into my heart and it was there where He dwelled that i saw him; he was nowhere else to be found."

"Life in Lubbock, Texas, taught me two things: One is that God loves you and you're going to burn in hell. The other is that sex is the most awful, filthy thing on earth and you should save it for someone you love."
