konting humor lang:

The chief problem about death, incidentally, is the fear that there may be no afterlife -- a depressing thought, particularly for those who have bothered to shave. Also, there is the fear that there is an afterlife but no one will know where it's being held.
-- Woody Allen, "The Early Essays," Without Feathers

I do occasionally envy the person who is religious naturally, without being brainwashed into it or suckered into it by all the organized hustles.
-- Woody Allen, Rolling Stone, 1987

If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank.
-- Woody Allen, "Selections from the Allen Notebooks," in New Yorker, Nov. 5, 1973

Not only is there no God, but try getting a plumber on weekends.
-- Woody Allen, "My Philosophy," The New Yorker (December 27, 1969), Getting Even "My Philosophy" (1971)

How can I believe in God when just last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of an electric typewriter?
-- Woody Allen, Without Feathers, 1975

I stand corrected. B. Franklin was a deist. (Deists believe that knowledge of God comes through reason rather than the revealed will of God as found in the Bible. They also hold that after God created the world, he ceased to be involved in it. Thus they do not believe in a personal God.)

Lol, I'm not defending Creationism per se. I was only showing that the Genesis in itself is one of many versions of old myths handed down through traditions and as such, should not be taken as the "one true" proof of our origin. The way I see it, Creationism puts a "finality" in our being human, physical or otherwise.

Sorry for the confusion

let me dig up yebo's old post... I believe many Christians (including me) feel the same way.

some of you might be trying to make this an atheist versus Christian thing. let us just stick to the topic.
