How about creating a really tasty diet soda ?
don't we have one already? diet coke
Seriously though, Religion is confusing, as is the concept of God. I find it funny when people claim that those that beleive in the bible or those that have any thoughts about religion are moronic, blind followers, or dumb in any fashion. What greater thought is that than the reason for our existance? isn't that the fundamental question at the base of most people's unsettled hearts?
To call the religious foolish or sheep is to ignore the importance of questions of the soul. Think about it, were Rousseau, Hobbes, Locke, Einstein, Plato, Thomas Jefferson, and so on all foolish followers? I am not saying that their conclusions about God and man are correct, but I am trying to validate the very study of religion that people mock here in this forum.
I do agree with the comment above (before the diet soda part). I am glad there are mysteries that take time and effort and belief to solve. How boring would the world be if everying worked as we wanted and if we knew everything! I think God set his plan (and yes, I am a Christian) as he did so he would have followers who cared about him and his saving grace. It takes more thought capacity than we could ever own to wrap our minds around God, but thanks to his work we have the opportunity to understand a small chunk of his character.
