you dont get the right to feel insulted, u have been warned...
so, peeps, if you dont believe in god, do you feel that ones that do are delusional?
a lot of people will sight karma or other things as 'he got what he had coming' but i argue that it's all a mathematical randomness that on a small scale might seem like karma
perfect example is: when you play poker and u push with the best hand, a LOT of times, you can predict/be so sure that the card will come that will beat you even if the chance of it coming is less than 1:6. when the card comes, some might argue it as karma, but i argue that its all random, just on a small scale randomness doesn't work
discuss....

So Peachyum, in order to enjoy life you don't need to go around making chaos as someone stated, you can live life and not believe in god, and enjoy it.
.
others believe to change their life or to explain stuff in their life. remember believing that something explains your life might be ok even if its a faulty belief

when i say believe in extraterrestrial, i dont count conspiracy theorists, they are in the area of fanatics. i meant general question to the public
such as" do you think there is another life work anywhere in space"
to answer no on this question, in my view is impossible because space is so vast, is that u cant compare it to anything but itself
You're speaking of a purely blind faith - a coin toss, basically. Does a purely blind faith provide enough of a foundation to affect the things in the first part of your post? Would belief in aliens cause a person to change his/her life? To give up drugs? What about evangelism? Would a belief in aliens cause a person to tell everyone s/he knew about what s/he had found?
That's fine, so long as the point does get across.
belief is aliens have exact same % of possibility imo

I don't know that it's absoultely game over. Maybe there's more. But just because I want to believe that... that doesn't mean I'm going to start believing it and just assume it to be so.
Peachyum you're looking at the very extreme's, the other extreme would be a religious fanatic. You can't compare those two and say "well that's it, one is what a religious person would do, and the other is what a non-religious person would do"
There is no proof, and if there is no proof i see it as blind faith. Iconian could be right, it's all random.
Science has proof, thus it's not blind faith.
