:)Hello.I am uncertain of my beliefs.I am here to explore my ideas and enter into others concepts.To be honest I find the fact that anything exists at all frightening.I believe there should be nothing BUT here we are and well I'll probably die wondering how and why .I do not find the idea of a God comforting ....if there is /was a creator it must be incredibly alien and beyond our abilities to comprehend or understand.A being that is eternal and could create a universe is certainly not remotely human like....and then there is the disturbing question of who /what created the creator? ...Anyway I am interested in everyones ideas and hope mine will be welcome even though strictly speaking I am not an atheist.

Welcome, dragonfly. I'm glad you decided to join the board. Exploring your own beliefs can sometimes be difficult. I wish you luck in your search for answers. The best thing to do is keep an open mind and ask whatever questions come to mind.
Again, welcome to the board.

Welcome to the board dragonfly. You are definitely not the first to look at the world around you and wonder about how existence came to be. I encourage you to continue asking yourself these questions. Keep exploring and feel free to share your thoughts with us for feedback. The rest of the members of this board would be more than happy to give you their impressions and answer your questions.
I hope you will post some of your thoughts for discussion soon. I look forward to reading your posts.

Welcome!! The creator would have to be human like if he suppossedly created adam in his own image. And just wondering how did you find the site?  Although your idea is interesting I do not see how unless of course you believe in the accuracy of the Christian Bible that the creator of the universe made man/Adam in his own image.Certainly that is what the bible says but there is a wealth of other religions and thoughts that suggest otherwise.I personally can't imagine any resemblance between a human being with its limited life-span and narrow perception and the awsome entity that would be needed to create the universe....but perhaps that says more about my imagination or capacity for belief than anything else. |

Welcome, dragonfly.
In a way, we're all exploring what we believe. It's just that for the majority of the members here, those primary beliefs on which everything else is based don't include a deity. I'm personally more of a pragmatist -- I am less interested in questions of cosmology (how the universe came to be) than issues of ethics and human behaviour. Why someone is a good person isn't as important as the fact that they are a good person, and the characteristics that make up a good person. At least, that's my perception. I'll take my wisdom where I can find it.
At any rate, you'll find people here of varying opinions. It's a pretty good place for discussion, and we try to keep things as open and "safe" as we can. Feel free to get involved in any of the ongoing discussions, or some of the fun stuff. Hope you enjoy it here.
