I'm not one to buy into someone else's ideas.
God is an idea because I have not seen any proof of Him.
I have had it explained to me that to believe is to know Him, but that is obvious. It's a human trait that when you think about something, you start seeing it everywhere that you look. It's pure psychology.
My girlfriend is hardcore religious, so you can bet we've had many discussions about this. I still think she's crazy and she still thinks I'll come to one day.
I have an atom symbol tattooed on my chest. It basicly means that everything can be explained through science.
Many argue that God IS science. To that I say 2 things. First, "Make up your mind." This was not the case 500 years ago.
Second, I say, "It is very convenient to describe God as an all-encompassing blanket. There is no room for arguement. There is no choice. There is no freedom."

Basicly, in order for me to believe in God, that fucker has gotta do some direct wish-granting like he did back in the day of the miracles and shit, as that big book describes. Until them, it's all randomized luck.

FYI too.. I was raised Jewish, taken to church weekly by a Christian, lived in a neighborhood filled with Mormons, and I am next in line to conduct Pesah with my family.
