Serious question NAOS .. sincere.
Would you say that you do not believe in God because of religious BS that was a turn off .. or just that it's completely illogical .. or both?
Also, do you feel it would be intellectually dumbed-down of you to ever claim God exists?
my spirituality has very little to do with logic or proof. I'm not that kind of intellectual.
The short of it is this:
Human-centric accounts of the nature of the universe (and the God-is-manlike arguments that are a subsection of this), fail to grasp the complexity of the world. They are "human, all too human."
Half of my family is very Mormon, and I still have dozens of close friends that are Mormon. I actually prefer the mormon cosmology over trending Evangelical renderings of things.
