Do you belive in god/ a god

True.
The difference is though, is that the creators of that child will pick up that child and will comfort it and calm and reassure it and kiss it better.
They will show it love and compassion. They will do their utmost to ensure that no harm will come to their loved ones.
They will teach that child what's right and wrong and the difference between good and evil.
They will offer words of encouragement when the child makes mistakes and that they will always be there for them in times of need.

Can the same be said of our assumed God / Creator ?

Some people with faith would answer yes.
 
No, but at times I wish I did. I am an atheist 100% and I stopped going to AA because I couldn't "get it".

I wish there was something else out there but I know in my heart, life and my choices are up to me and I need to sort me out, not some mythical being. Maybe one reason why i struggle everyday?

Genuine question: are AA tied up with a faith?

Yes or something greater than you.. I know nature is greater than me but can I give myself over to it? and can it help me... ?

edit, it isn't about God as such but something you can believe in. I was once told it could be a plant pot, but how can than help me?

Cheers sadgit. I feel very lucky that my obsessions are minor and largely don't impact negatively on my life. Hope yours remain under control.
 
People who believe do so blindly, those who don't do so in the knowledge that they reject that blind faith. As long as the two can live with and respect the other I don't see why it matters.

Agreed, but this has merit. The irony in sims (humans) themselves creating a game that replicates human life actually being sims themselves is not lost on me. There is another paper which I am trying to find which talks about mathematical coincidences in the Universe that could only happen inside a computer simulation. I am not for one second saying I am a staunch believer, but there is a lot of evidence to suggest that it has some merit in being real. If it is, it doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would. It just means the end of the Universe is someone's hard drive finally borking :)

I just read that myself earlier today on wired and came on to post a link. Thoroughly enjoyed it and to some extent it all makes a sort of sense. I've seen a few clips of events that could be a hoax, where things appear of disappear on film that look suspiciously like coding glitches...or at least that is what the posters are making out.

It's all food for thought and throws even more possibilities in the melting pot.
