I am also a non believer but for those who are believers, is their God just for planet earth or the whole universe? If that's the case, how does their God travel across it as there is no way Earth is the only inhabited planet considering there are billions of planets.
I don't know but s/he has for sure been somewhere else in the universe for the last 18 months.

I suspect you may be correct, but for all that, but for a Universe teeming so busily with life there is a distinct dearth of actual evidence of it anywhere other than upon Earth.

That's the trouble with the here and now... energy arriving here from other universes set off millions of light years ago when Earth wasn't even a ball of swirling gas.

Omninowt -

Where ever there's a child with cancer he is there doing nowt
Whenever a priest is messing with a kid he is there doing nowt
When the gas chambers were full he was there doing nowt
Whenever there is a atrocity he is there doing nowt
Wherever he is needed he'll be there
Doing nowt.

You are making assumptions about the nature of this God. Why should it care about those things?

I wonder how many people of faith would opt for a religious leader rather than a surgeon if they needed an operation.
There have been many cases of Jehovah’s Witness families disowning other family members, including children, who received a blood transfusion as part of emergency treatment.

Becomes a complete nonsense when a man made religion, designed to control a population, gets in the way life that.

A great number of the cell salvage units in use around the UK have been donated to the NHS by JW charities.

I briefly went out with a Mormon lady, about 18 years my senior at the time. It struck me that the more a religion proscribes, forbids and oppresses, the more they seem to want to do these things.

You mean you've been identified as the devil by a world religion?

I’m a christian by upbringing ... I tried to live by the code ... 10 commandments and all that .... but failed most of them ... all of them to be honest ..:blush:
For probably the last 10 years i’ve tried a different approach to life ... KARMA ... well my adulterated version ...
I try to do good things for people ... to be kind, to stand in support of those that ask or patently need help ..
Nothing great ... If your stopped with a puncture i’m the guy that pulls over in the van and offers help ...
Towed cars out of floods and ditches, just try to be helpful ... in the hope some of the KARMA may come back at me ...

Still waiting ...:laugh:

I believe that karma works
this is based on absolutely no evidence whatsoever

what it does do it make you feel better about yourself because you have done something good for someone
or - conversely - you have seen someone do something bad and rather than getting mad/stressed you 'know' that bad things will catch up with them

so - e.g. - if you let someone in at a motorway junction - then you feel that you are a nice person - and next time someone lets you in then you believe that it is due to what you did in the past
if someone comes down the slip road at 90 and forces their way in - then you back off and let the idiot go screaming up in his wavy pattern around all 3/4 lanes - knowing that you can leave it to karma and you don't need to worry about it
