No you can't see him he's a flower.

I know, its magic...you put him in with the flowers and *POOF* he disappears

I believe in God, definitely I do! To me, all the religions are the same; it is all depend on your heart and your thoughts! All are different colors of the sky!

Look! I try my best, I don't always get it right... I mean I turn my back for a few centuries and war breaks out somewhere. I don't care if I gave you free will, it's not funny and its not clever!
Sorry about the Platapus... just my little joke.

No, but I do believe in living a good life and doing good, no matter what happens after death.

I've had many thoughts about religion lately. Every time I try to explain this, I get a funny look from my family members, as if this is any more silly than any other religion.
We're all just speculating =]
After inundating myself in science (GregBeardidit), particularly quantum mechanics, I began to think about all the possibilities. Reality is subjective- and it is not "definite" until it is observed. Or, in more precise terms, until it is interacted with; a single photon is enough to cement an aspect of reality.
Then I thought of solipsism, and how I may simply be the only entity in existence, imagining all of this. It makes sense, when taken with Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and the closely related observer effect. Nothing is concrete until it needs to be, such as when another bit of reality interacts with it. Otherwise, it is simply a probability.
What else do we know of that behaves in this manner? Computers- specifically, video games and other large-scale realtime rendering projects. Occlusion planes, culling, tessellation- all of these are artifacts of an imperfect simulation. The computers of today are not powerful enough to render most modern 3D games in full, so the game engine only renders what the player is looking at. Just like reality.
So, combining these three distinct interests of mine- computers, quantum mechanics*, and metaphysical solipsism- I have come to the shaky conclusion that "the afterlife" is determined by the observer. "We" will all experience what we expect in the end, which makes me somewhat miffed to be an atheist, but it is what it is. To me, this is the ultimate godtheory. It is philosophically bullet proof, logically irrefutable (which, I suppose, is the same with every religion . . .), and liberating.
*I say I'm interested in quantum mechanics in the same way that an author whom wants to right about a subject is interested: that is, I do not fully understand the math behind it, but I am aware of basic principles and paradigms. In fact, the only thing I do understand quite well, is English =P

No offense.
My thought on God are separated into two.
I'm fine to believe that there is a Higher Being. But He is not under any religion that we have on Earth. Every religion strangles each other to prove that their God is the real one.
Another thought of mine is if God exists, I think he enjoys playing us like The SimCity. Killing thousand of innocent of people in Nazi concentration camps. Creating gay people only to see them be executed in the Middle East. The religion that I was raised into exclusively taught me that the Jewish, Israel etc. are enemies.
I was well raised in religion as I went to a religious school. I was taught that God is pure and have compassion. But really, if you have compassion, you wouldn't just watch innocent people being tormented and die. And seriously, you allow your followers to murder others who refuse to follow your religion?
A lot of things don't make sense as I got deeper into the religion that I was taught into. My common sense keeps alerting, "This doesn't make sense, this doesn't add up etc."
I'm able to practice a good moral etc. without being attached to a religion and exclusively to God. Thank you.

I used to feel torn since I believed there was a higher being who loves us all equally, but like so many I was brought up in a religion that is heavily biased and doesn't accept homosexuality. I now believe god accepts love for love, as long as its honest and true.
