Chenhan, because I don't have absolute proof that He doesn't exist and because I choose to hedge my bets, I believe. If, like Denny18 thinks, oblivion is our destiny then what does it matter? In case he is wrong, I choose to believe. Christians say that it isn't proof that we need. It's faith that we need. It's hard for me because my mind says 'proof', my body says 'proof' but my emotions and my spirit say faith is ok. I know that proper alignment of all four dimensions will lead me to my 'heaven' but it's hard to do. Ultimately, it's your choice and your decision. What do you listen to? Your mind, your heart, your spirit or your body?

The belief in god was mankind's first attempt to explain the world they saw around them. Without any knowledge of science a supernatural being was an obvious explanation. Unfortunately they gave this being a human ego and a nasty nature akin to their own (at that time), so it wanted total worship without question and no awkward questions, it also insisted you indoctrinate your children.

 

This indoctrination is one of the major reasons why theism and deism still exist today.

  Yeh, there's an invisible man who lives in the sky, who watches everything you do, who is all seeing, all knowing, and who has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do; and if you do any of these ten things he has a special place full of fire and smoke and torture and burning and anguish and pain, where he will send you to live and suffer and choke and scream and cry, for ever and ever and ever, and ever  until the very end of time!

 

  But he loves you.

(George Carlin, comedian)

 

  Sure, sounds believable to me.

  Saw a movie recently called 'Zeitgeist' which explains how Christianity, as well as many other known religions, is an invented story which is in fact born of a worship of the sun. Not interested enough to check the facts laid down to support the claim but if there's any truth in them, then a bunch of religions knocking around today, including Christianity, are just fairytales.

  Worth a watch.

  Personally I like comedian Bill Hicks' take on religion. That everything is one and we are all God, experiencing itself objectively. I didn't say it was a 'funny' take on religion, I just said I preferred it.

The obvious follow-up question would be, "Which one?" This in itself, is one of the objectives for the study of epistemology.

However, the long and short of it is, anyone who says that God (by definition, omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient) does not exist would have to possess the same qualities, and would, in effect, be issuing a self-contradictory statement, thus negating the conclusion of such statement.

And that, as they say, is simply logic.

Sorry if you look at logic as being clever, but then again, I suppose you would, seeing as how it is not something that you employ regularly. The law of non-contradiction in the designation of truth is akin to Logic 101. In other words, pretty basic stuff.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
