Who came up with the concept then?
If no one had up until one was born then surely the concept of a higher being or "purpose" in life would be imminently forthcoming?

I don't think there is a period of human history that doesn't share the concept in one form or another?

People use stories to justify things they don't understand
Hence gods of the sun and the lightning.

Anyway, I'm not getting into this, because as Kristine says, it's up to her to believe whatever she wants and I'm fully in favour of this. She doesn't tell people that they are wrong for not believing what she believes.

But I would say that BGB is also entitled to her view to not want to go out with someone who believes in god, because at some point in a relationship, you are going to have a clash of ideologies regarding it.

Just because someone is religious
doesn't mean they won't let you peg them.

Priests seem to fucking love it.
And the old pope was very keen.

It's funny that people aren't wrong for believing in God.
Yet they are morons for believing in FPTP.

No, you are completely
misconstruing what I'm saying.

People have the right, if they so wish, to believe in god, any god.

Doesn't make them right, but it's their choice. I've given up arguing about AV, it's making me too angry. It's a failure of logical argument against ideology and stupidity and It's just getting me too pissed off, so yes, I do think those arguing in favour of FPTP are stupid cunts, but I'm not going to get into it anymore.

If there had been no religion before our God then I would be more inclined to have faith.
But as I stated previously, religion of one sort or another has been around since man evolved as a way of coping with the world around him. Look at scientology. Each of us knows what a pile of wank it is but the scientologists don't and would argue fiercly their point of view.
