Clearly we aren't going to see each others point of view on this topic, so at this point the whole religious debate in regards to whether its real or not (in this thread) is over for me. I live in Utah, so clearly I know how pointless it is to keep debating with a Mormon about their religion. I have yet to ever find one who would criticize anything about their own religion or admit any of its innaccuracies or faults. And you know what....Thats fine, at the end of the day it doesn't affect me at all. I am happy with the knowledge that I have and the life that I lead.

All im going to say in closing is that if there truly is a God and he/she/it has allowed all of these problems in the world to take place. All the pain and suffering and misery in the world......The honestly I think he/she/it is sick and wacky and I want nothing to do with "God"

Some of you have reasons you can come up with as to why "God" allows these things to take place. Thats fine, I respect your beliefs. Im just saying for me that I would rather that there isnt a god, because if there is one, then with my logic its not a "nice" God lol.
