There is no proof of god except joint supersitions from ancient men. Even these have been cast asunder as mythology, not quite sure why we hold onto this new one. Asians beleive in numerous gods and are willing to die for them, Muslims allah etc - and they have lives that they fully belive are rich adn rewarding because of their god/gods that grant their prayers. even those that dont belive in god/gods but in new age science and power of will people have their wills fulfilled and have evidence. So where does it leave you? and each religion feels that their god is the only way yet they all across the board benefit from their beliefs? Think about that as a null-hypothesis.Now go play, and play nice children, God has spoken</p> This is ridiculous - I can see where this all is going, a circular argument.

Your &#8220;Deus Pater&#8221; is &#8220;Father God&#8221; which is a common opening in evangelical churches but I think less so in Catholic churches. Maybe it&#8217;s common in latin prayer, though, not sure, but then I still suspect most prayers would begin in the vocative case &#8220;Iove&#8221; rather than the English transliteration Jupiter.</p> @Tyler – But in Latin the Lord’s Prayer begins Pater Nostre (Our Father).

Sun, 04 Jul 2010 12:52:55 +0000 Tyler Durden [Visitor] c85141@http://personman.com/ <p>Have guys ever consider the etymology of the word God? Christianity is a Roman religion: It was organized and directed from there. In the surviving lating languages for example the word God is Dios in Spanish, Dieu in French and Deus in Latin itself. Now one doesn&#8217;t need much imagination to make the link with Zeus. But it gets better. Most prayers begins with &#8220;Our Father", and in the latin (for example Spanish &#8220;Dios Padre").<br /> Now check this out: In latin it is Deus Pater&#8230;. which much earlier it used to be Ju&#8217;piter (Jupiter). Christianity is nothing more than the continuation of the old pagan religion of Rome. Emuanel Jushua (aka Jesus, because if you would call hime &#8220;Hey, Jesus!&#8221; he would not react) is nothing than a Apollo figure, mixed with the life of Dionisys (or Baccus the Roman counterpart). The old Greek Monks writers used their own fragmented knowledge of the old mythologies to write the gospels. <br /> But it really dates even further than that, just as we now have 3 religion (with their own numerous fractions) that are very alike, 2000 years ago and before, the situation was the same. Almost all religion in the Middle East were about Sun worship in the form of a Sun person or the son of the Sun. All miracles were same (virgin birth, walking on water, crucifixion resurrection etc). It&#8217;s all on big superstition.</p> Have guys ever consider the etymology of the word God? Christianity is a Roman religion: It was organized and directed from there.

But many other Christians have made it a big deal and I have a history on both sides of this question. So, I like talking about it. You seem to be complaining that I discuss religion too much and the media discusses it too little. But what you didn&#8217;t do is give me any reason to think that God is something other than imaginary.</p> Denise,
