Occam's Razor violation by adding an unnecessary and unsupported
function to deities.

Gods are spirits detected by that small percentage of the population who
have direct personal observation of the spirits of the world.  The
majority has always had no direct personal observation of the spirits if
the world so some take their existence on faith others disbelieve.

God as a singluar being is a second Occam's razor violation.  Across
history and prehistory many mystics have reproted and continue to report
direct personal observation of the spirits of the world.  Some report
observation of deity.  Some report deity is one.  Some report deities
are many.  Those who report deity is one disagree on the personalities
of deity.  One Occam's Razor approach is to not multiply deities so
deity is many and some mystics only met one of them.  One Occam's Razor
approach is to keep it simple and say billions of well adjusted and
sincere citizens were deluded.

Occam's Razor doesn't apply. You haven't been able to understand the 
issue here. The appearance of life doesn't explain everything about 
life. Life demonstrates a nature that is intelligent. Such intelligent 
nature hasn't been shown to exist independent of life. It can not be 
taken for granted as a mere function of the physical matter. It is not. 
It comes from God alone.

existed.

You do tend to pile it higher and deeper but I can hold my breath and
get a ladder.  And a shovel.

Well, you're the one digging your way out of the crap.  Personally you got
yourself in it, so you get yourself out of it.  But remember, it doesn't do any
good to go get a ladder so you can dig yourself out of a hole of crap.

It's your crap.

I suspect your parents had a lot to do with your brainwashing when you
were growing up.  If so that makes you the poster boy for considering
religious indoctrination child abuse.

You people
don't actually
believe 
that religious
leaders
actually believe in
God, do you????


I mean...
look at your
yellow pages..
it's where the
places of 
worship
are 
listed.


Even today
some of yous
(if not most of yous)
act if
Doctors
are like
God.
