Its taken the advancement of technology to be able to communicate findings and ideas to advance civilisation, remember its not that long ago that it was beleived the world was flat, thunder and natural disasters were the act of god etc. with good knowledge a civilisation could be easily tricked in the past, even now in undeveloped countries people are tricked by people into thinking they have magical powers.

It has taken the so-called advancement of technology to cause people to think that they are advanced.

For example. Thousands of years ago people were able to move gigantic blocks of stone, weighing up to a thousand tons each, over hundreds of miles, so that they could set up wonderful buildings and monuments.

We don't have the technology to do this today. But, we could probbly devise some technology that could do this. However, if we did, we still couldn't move the stones. Why not? Because our economies are so weak that we couldn't afford building the equipment that it would take, or making the move if the equipment happened to be built. Yet, the ancients of thousands of years ago did it. They were advanced beyond what we are.

I would be confident to say that jesus may have even existed but using tricks and manipulation could fool people into believing he was some sort of prophet and even the son of the most popular god of the time.

However, you and those like you would attempt to fool people into thinking that we have knowledge of all kinds of things that we don't. If you had simply said something like, "we don't know if Jesus had special power or not," or "we aren't sure what God is like," then you might possibly have enough humility to understand that in the basics of life we are behind the ancients, even though we have a bunch of so-called technology.

Also ive mentioned it in a few posts back but im just going to put this out here for you again because im not sure your definition of religion and mine are the same.

All you have to do is look at the standard dictionary definitions of the word "religion" to see what my definitions are. Anybody can make up new definitions to words. Is that what you are doing with the word "religion?"

the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.

Sounds like you aren't smart enough to put together the concepts:
1. cause and effect;
2. universal complexity;
3. universal entropy;
to see that they say "God."

Religion isn't about the existence of God. Religion is about His attributes. We can see in nature that God exists... except if we are blind, like you seem to saying that you are.

Ok so im obviously too stupid to put together those 3 concepts that you have posted because theres no way i can put those together and come up with that meaning god, And im blind as well because i certainly cant see god in nature.The reason i dont see what you see is because my mind is not poisoned with religion as yours clearly is.

I suppose im lucky we are only conversing over the internet because in another time or place im sure you would be happy to see me stoned or crucified for my complete and utter lack of faith.

Tell me, What would it take to convince you that your worshipping a false idol and there is in fact no god? Im going to assume it cant be done.
