Re: What will it take to shake/strengthen your belief in God? (merged)
To be honest I havent really read all of your debate with Abdullah, so I dont know whether the entire discussion has been based on a back and forth on vague terms. If that is the case, the sooner you end the discussion the better, I can tell you the end after fifteen pages would be the same.
Aside from this discussion though, what “improvement” do you expect from a religion/philosophy/way of life, once you tell me what specific aspects of life you want to see improvement in I want to know why do you expect religion to bring it?
I dont think religion is always a vehicle for improvement in any given aspect of the overall quality of life (except spirituality ofcourse), there may be incidental appreciation or depreciation in it, but that isnt really the goal.
