    Atheists do just fine not believing in a God. They still have morals and lead good and decent lives.


    God gave you freedom to believe what you want. Your path back to him does not have to be through a church or a book. Your journey is your own and unique to you. You will find what brings you peace and comfort because only you can know what that is. God is patient and will wait for as long as it takes.


    If there truly is no God, then live by man's laws and you can still be a good an productive person.

    I have a feeling that this thread will not end at MO. This probably will go on for 10 weeks or so. We got here first, Tommyh, at least. :)

    This is too much for me........I'm leaving this one to the experts!

    You guys are so funny.

    Beliefs and denials are a mental filtering mechanism that allows a person to see what they have chosen to see in a certain way. These mechanisms tend to serve a group consciousness well in that  a group of like mined people tend to get along well together. I have enjoyed a lifetime of exploring these groups of like minded peoples in order to understand their various views that are based on their beliefs and denials. All of them have values and virtues that present the membership with some sort of reward scheme beyond simple fellowship and service. Most have some arrangement of fear that keeps the slackers in attendance and some traditions in practice. These are pacifying theorems designed to keep attendees in check and at ease within the group.    


    The group consciousness is brought together and orchestrated by a single leader usually. The leader must abide by all of the group principals and usually present themselves as the group leader. 


    Choosing what group to join has usually been dependent upon one’s childhood. But increasingly there are those without such a cultural path. I found the Urantia Book and A Course In Miracles to be most satisfactory to me. Both are freely available books on the net.
