You don't think G-d would have the decency to follow the prime directive? If G-d exists, he doesn't want to spoil our sense of independence by being all like, "I made your whole shit, now bow down, bitches".

I voted yes and here's why, more than once people who have been technically "dead" in a hospital and survived have told of some "out of body" experiences where they could see themselves getting treatment. Now it's easy to dismiss those experiences because of what the subconscious mind can conger up, specially with the body going through a lot at the time, but what freaked me out was how some could actually describe in detail what was happening in the rooms around them when they had these experiences, they were "on their way" but got called back when they lived, it wasn't their time..
Plenty of people also believe things like psychics or astrology forecasts or mind readers. We're easy to fool, and we often see patterns or correlatations where there are none.

Factor in the idea that our brains are all basically built the same, and you're going to end up with some common failure modes as the brain starts to shut down.

Prime Directive stuff is just our cultural tendency of "mind your own business," taken to the next level.


We put microorganisms into petri dishes and make them do our bidding. And we will certainly just screw with them for our own amusement. Or sometimes we'll incorporate them into food, give them all the food they could want, and then it's time for a high-temperature cataclysm.


(I'm tellin' ya, we're screwed here. Yeast in bread: They're there to make carbon dioxide and alcohol, and then they get cooked to death en masse. Humans are also good at making carbon dioxide and alcohol. And we're in proximity of a nuclear furnace that is more than 99% of the Solar System's mass. Yep, we're dead.)

How does that equate to 'god' though?

Well M-nb-gg, did God say bow down bitches? Did you even read the Bible? No, no you didn't!

Have you? "Your will on Earth as it is in Heaven" is a pretty much bow down bitches part of a daily prayer. Or don't you submit to the will of God? Look what happened to the Angel of Light and Co. Voice one criticism about management and end up working in the pits!

No. I was born atheist, indoctrinated into religion as a child, then re-born atheist as an adult.

Being a gun nut is religion of its own.

Possibly the only mainstream religion here in the US where they can prove existence of their deity.

Guns can't be taken seriously as a religion until they kill a lot more people.

I find the question of spiritualism is a separate issue. A creator being something else entirely.
