CH0Z0 Valheita CH0Z0 "The balance between technology and spiritualism seems to be another defining trait of the Chozo culture." I'm Christian but also follow logic. Does that mean that if I whisper "Burden of Proof" you explode? ninja Burden of proof is the universe just as logically didn't create itself as it did create itself. If all that stuff can come from nowhere (creating matter without using energy) then god is just as logical a choice. So your proof for God is a lack of understanding of pre-Planck time Big Bang Theory? *shrugs* Whatever keeps you from exploding xd

I love logic, but there's a point where "if you've used every reason until only the illogical reason remains, then the illogical answer is the only logical answer." Don't explode on me, that's the last weirdness I'll be sending ninja

"When you've eliminated the impossible, what ever remains, however improbable, must be the truth"
Something like that Cho?

Yeah, but sherlock said that, not me D= mine is more "wtf" ish. And I love saying the word logical. The problem with that, of course, is that there are always multiple possible solutions, but only one of which can actually be truth. When it comes to religion, for example, if you eliminate the lack of a god as something that is impossible, you still have the question of multiple gods or a single god, of a male or a female or a being that transcends gender. There are still multiple solutions, none of which can specifically be proven impossible.

It's like there are more variables than equations D:

My religious believes? The mortals on our planet know relativly nothing!
But the possibility there is/was some individuals with nearly unimaginable powers out there, is not impossible. I do wonder if they were selfish enough to shape creatures as themselves on our planet, though. That is: If they even had the motive and means to affect our planet in the first place.
The Bible is a nice collection of short stories, though. And may have been a good way to prevent us from doing all sorts of misdoings in the past (guess our history could've been worse).

As night said, I've seen things as well that science can no way explain..
I myself am a christian. I believe in God.
I believe in heaven and hell.
I'm not open to any other religions.. I never will be.
Chozo- logic only goes so far, and then there is God. >.> imo

I was raised christian, I think. Mother tried putting me through something called CCD. It was laughable. I raised hell.
Now.... I go to church with my mother. She's not all too well, and if I stopped going, I fear for her health. It would probably stress her quite a bit, and her many conditions are based off of stress.
Now, as for the presence of a greater being.... No. Gods and goddesses are characters in stories, and nothing more. There for entertainment. Entertainment that can control the masses.... In my stories, gods are merely people who found a greater power and ascended into a greater form of existence.

Valheita It's like there are more variables than equations D: [/linearalgebrareference] There are more variables than equations, at least when it comes to religion.
I mean, I want to believe, I wish that I could believe in something so strongly without needing empirical evidence, I wish I could have that stability of belief in knowing that no matter what else happens, I at least have that belief. Instead I have science, with changing evidence all the time and constantly having to shift my viewpoint to fit the truth. Sometimes, I think it was easier when I was younger, when I thought my pastor couldn't be at fault and that there was a god and a heaven.
Of course, I do have a firm belief in the power of mankind to discover. I mean, as a species, we're brilliant. We want to discover and to know things just because they're there. We'd fly out a thousand light-years to another Earth-like planet if we were capable, just because the planet is there. We need no other reason.

I was Christian around the age of 10 when I went to a Catholic Camp for the Summer, shortly after I went to church with my brother for a Year... To me it was a bunch of stories and history, not something emotional that I could attach myself to. So I left the church after that one year and when I turned 15, I turned to Taoism... Again, I couldn't really find something I could connect myself to.
I find religions nothing more than another name in categorizing your belief. To me, I don't need a religion to believe. I don't need to be specified to be able to think depending on situation, depending on feelings. Belief depends on time and emotion to me.
Aside from that, despite I don't have a religion... I'm not going to denounce another person's religion or make fun of their religion. They have their own thoughts in their own mind. I don't feel the need to force others' onto what I believe in.
=w= And I totally skimmed over the first post and thought the convo was about something else XDDD :
Well in fictional sense, I do believe, it's nice to think that there's something or a god there... But in reality, it's you that ultimately makes the choice, not someone else. You can say things happen because of this, but there are really just some things in life that can only be helped by yourself and yourself only.

Forgot to mention: I'm baptised as a Christian Protestant, and still is officially a Protestant.
My family isn't much religious, so I consider the Christian ceremonies as cultural acts when I partisitate.
