[QUOTE="sanzar, post: 90497"] No, I don't. I actually don't think that any of these people were contacted by anything divine... But let me ask you this: What's the point of it? I mean really, what's the point of 'creating' life etc and then almost demanding that they worship you? This is what gets to me, it just doesn't make sense. Also, why is it that only humans are given this option? Is not all life relevant? Why is our life seemly worth so much more than the rest of that which exists on this planet? These seem to be just more human value judgements (arrogant ones at that) on the importance of our existence over everthing else (god created us in 'his' image etc). I think if there is a 'god' it is not how we imagine it and it probably does not differentiate between what is considered by us to be 'good' or 'evil', it most likely 'wants' nothing and probably has no 'will' in general as we would define it. To me there are just far too many questions about religion that make the whole concept utterly baffling. [/QUOTE]
