First off and foremost, I grew up without anyone imposing Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism or any other form of religion. I grew up making my own decisions on who to believe and what, and if not to believe. But the question that always stood before me was, "how can I believe if I first know not of (his) existence?" An individual who may want to prove "his" existence would have limitless proofs, because "he" is a supernatural and an idea, "he" can be defended by supernatural ideas which are limitless in defense. On the other hand, I only can defend my point of view by factual evidence which is obviously limited but proven in existence. My proofs are worth more because they exist, on the other hand stories, legends, and myths are just that, they don't exist, even if you create millions of them, it wouldn't be enough to prove yourself because what you're saying is, "blah blah blah" your stories don't exist. With that said, let me state my side of the argument, I beg you to keep an open mind, as if the word "mind" really exists. . .	10, 7, 5, 8, Mind, 3, 23, Soul, 12, 90, Love, 78, 653, God, 87, Justice, 34, 82, Equality. What is a number? A number is an idea, it doesn't exist. A number is not physical you cannot touch it. What is mind? Mind is an idea of a persons human consciousness, it's just a word the same as Justice and Equality, you may call your "human consciousness" as Equality, it's basically the same as calling it Mind. So what's the difference in the word "God", you might as well be praying to the number 5, neither actually exist. But it doesn't end here, there was a great and intelligent man, that you may know, called Plato. Plato wrote a book called, "The Symposium" in which he tries to prove that love, god, and numbers exist. This is what happened, Plato couldn't prove his point, so he went to the best ancient mathematics university that was around at his time, to study with great mathematicians. Why did he go to the university? Plato went to study math for 10 years with the mathematicians to prove that numbers exist, because he understood that if he proved the number 5 exists, then he automatically also proves that Love, and God exist the same. So what happened? After 10 years of study, he was not able to prove that the number 5 exists. But an interesting thing happened to him on the way home. On his way home, he stopped by this little island. On this island was an amphitheater, an amphitheater is our modern auditorium for Broadway spectacles, in which the seats go higher and higher purposely for the sound to be heard all over the theater. Plato sat there and looked around why everyone in the audience was crying, he couldn't figure it out, then he finally looked at the stage and noticed something sad on the stage, with sad music. Now then he understood, he knew music had a beat and those beats needed numbers, he saw the musicians playing according to those beats, and produced sound which is physical and all of us are able to hear it. So the philosophy is, if you take something that doesn't exist and apply it to something that does, it can be beautiful. But still the number doesn't exist and neither does God. Let me move on to other finer points, and more detailed disapproval's. We live in a contemporary world, well let's just say contemporary America. In contemporary America we have such things called as "the top ten songs", "the top ten movies", or "the top ten actors." We also have the ten commandments, if there was 7 or 9 or 11 commandments, the contemporary American public would certainly not take it seriously and totally disregard it. The number 10 is psychologically satisfying, due to its number. The fifth commandment says, "thou shalt not kill", there have been more wars and deaths in the name or religion than all other wars put together including World War 1 & 2. For example, France as Huguenots and England as Catholics battled for literally hundreds of years, and this is recorded as data and proved, it is educated in classes across the world, my point here is, if Gods wars can be recorded and documented and proven to be actual history, why isn't God the cause of the war be able to be documented and proven to exist? The deaths are, why isn't he? In modern day, disputes between Israeli's and Muslims are seen on television almost daily with suicides and raids. Is fighting for your god really worth the death of so many of your own people maybe even family members? You fight for your religion only to stop when it is your time to put on a green shirt, pants and a black rifle to only be killed on the battle field, because after all, isn't there only one God? Then why are we always fighting? God is a quick answer to mans great questions, "where did we come from?", "why are we here?" Well, why couldn't we always have been here? Why do we need to have a beginning and an end, I personally think evolution is retarded, I don't think a giraffe grew it's neck 10 ft long to bite off a leaf. But evolution is partly true. Back in the middle ages, we all may recall that the height of a very tall person would be approximately 5 feet, now tall would involve well over 6 feet. The average height of people now is around 5 feet and 9 inches, back then it would be no more than 4 and a half feet. So did we grow bigger? Yes we did, and this is proven by factual evidence, by skeletons, statues and documents. So back to mans great questions, the quick answer to God is generated by ignorant people who don't take the time to even think about their being. Some people see religion as a requirement of society, or in other words, a social ploid, why do we pledge of allegiance to God in our classrooms across America, isn't there a separation of church and state in our great nation? We all know there are people around us who were brought into religion without a choice like orthodox Jews, the children's parents threw all their beliefs at them and as children they just took it in without question, almost being brainwashed. The thoughts of those children stay with them for many years, and they will pass those ideas down to their children, and so on. This is the same as the great Ku Klux Klan in which their children are also implanted with ideas from their parents from birth to keep carrying on the cause and hate that their ignorance produces. In my opinion people should be able to make their own decisions on their own ideas, beliefs and observations. Those who choose their religion upon their own beliefs and observations and not environmental influences are real believers in their cause. But what do you get from praying all your life and believing in a single or even maybe many deities? Well if you let me tell you, I have a personal experience. My stepfather is a devoted Christian almost completely all his life, he prays all the time, before he goes to sleep, when he wakes up, before he enters or leaves a house, when he's in his car, he prays even in his sleep probably. What does he have in return? I'll tell you what, a failed business, $20,000 in debt, a car accident and his sister has lung-cancer, she's only 36 years old. Let me talk about fear. Fear, all people have fear even me, the greatest fear of all is death and loss of life. If one of your relatives dies you can cope with their death through religion, convincing yourself that they are in heaven and well. When it comes to your own death, you automatically think of hell, and try to go over all the things in your head that you did bad and match it up with good, hoping good wins over and you'll go to heaven, or at best, purgatory. The facts is, is that no one knows what happens after death, but since there are not supernatural occurrences in real life, why should their be when you're dead? All the stories of the bible are nonsense, how can Noah's ark be able to hold 2 of each animal? That's impossible, 2 elephants, 2 gorillas, 2 giraffes, that's a big ark. How is it that God created Adam and Eve first when fossil records and carbon dating show that there were life forms before Adam and Eve? If God created everything, who created God? More importantly did God create man or did man create God? Here's something else to think about, why doesn't God create man in heaven? Why doesn't the devil create man in hell? Why are we created on earth?
