Sure, be happy to meet you in person. I'll buy the beer, and have paramedics standing by for China.
The Improbability of God

Because you claim you can create your own reality, and I want you to prove it: jump off my roof and change your reality so you don't get hurt. I should warn you that the drop is about 20 feet.
No, I turned atheist. I've never been Catholic. I was raised United Church, flirted briefly with Lutheranism and Anglicanism, then decided it was all BS and gave it all up as superstitious nonsense.

Dexter ,you and only you can create your own reality ; whether that reality makes sense, only you can answer that ;it's you who lives your life ,no one else ......it's you and you, it's you ....it's 100 % you Dexter .
3 Reason why God is an atheist.
ccasion5:
- Faith is a belief in things that aren't fact. If God knows everything he can't possibly have faith.
- God doesn't believe in a higher power
- God is jealous and demands worship. He lacks confidence and doesn't believe in himself.
ccasion5:
Christianity....
The belief in a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father birthed from a teenage virgin who can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically accept him as you master so he can remove an evil force that is present in the souls of humanity because a rib woman was convinced by a snake to eat from a magic tree...
... and people wonder why I don't believe?

One must understand what is reality first to explain that. The obvious conclusion is we hink of reality as an external thing. Maybe reality is more perception and how react to it.
To me God is a man made concept, hence all the contradictions.
Man needs to believe in something to move on. A soldier has to believe in his mission to carry it out with all his efforts.We are not much different.
Now that said rediculing that belief like the previous poster here shows more what that persons integrity.
Hi El Barto ;
[FONT=Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Reality is thought which is the movement of the past. It is a psychological-material process. It is necessarily conditioned by a thing or an idea. Thought is always of something, gross or subtle, physical or psychological. It is never independent. Independent thought is a contradiction in teens. Reality is all that is conceived by thought.Eny[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]thing that thought operates on, or fabricates or reflects about, is reality[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-1].The mind or the consciousness with its thought content is reality. The content comprises the factual as well as the psychological knowledge. The factual content is the knowledge which is reasonable and useful for the biological well-being of humankind. It includes the scientific, the technological, the semantic, the numerical and the historical knowledge or information, whereas the psychological content is a messy conglomeration of the irrational and fictitious knowledge. It consists of the illusions - beliefs, hopes, images, symbols - invented by thought as a means of escape from the psychological insecurity. The psychological content constitutes the mind which is conditioned, fragmented, self-centred, self-contradictory, conflicting, confused, anxious, insecure, jealous, aggressive, corrupt, violent, , crooked and insane. The psychological content of consciousness is the actuality, the fact of human existence. It is with this content that human being has been living for millions of years , or whatever. Devoid of self-knowing or awareness, the conditioned consciousness determines itself; it generates its own energy; it adds to its content and perpetuates itself to self-destruction. [/SIZE][/FONT]
Perhaps this will explain what reality is:

Not even close, that's completely incomprehensible. You lost me at the first sentence, "Reality is thought which is the movement of the past." I haven't a clue what that could possibly mean. Physical reality is simply that which exists, independently of anyone's thoughts about it. There are also intellectual and emotional realities that exist in the form of concepts and ideas and feelings, and people's responses to them, and those can all be changed, but to equate those with the whole of reality, as you seem to be doing, is nonsense.

Dexter ,this is your lucky day ,I will explain what I mean .
We are thought Dexter ,thought is what we know , we can only know what we know Dexter (Known can only know known ....remember) Now, a thought, Dexter , is a response of a memory ,memory being the storage of our knowledge ,experiences ,and anything else that has bin registered by our brain .No memory ,no thought .
Now obviously everything in our memory is of the past ;every braincell is of the past ,there is nothing new in our brain , we are of the past Dexter ,our thought is past terfore....our REALITY is a movement in the past .
