I hate how Minichaners always call things stupid only when they don't understand it. If you lack the intelligence to understand something, then shut the fuck up.

Problem is if you meet some being who seems godly, it could just be a powerful being that's worshipped and not the creator of the universe, which if exists is nothing like the anthropomorphic deities of human religions.

This is very true. Reminds me of the white settlers who, even with their old technology, were thought to be gods. With the gadget someone today has, convincing some uncontacted tribe you were a god would be easy.
An alien, or other powerful being, would have technology that would appear completely god-like.

you could just ask him the meaning of life.

I know the meaning of life. It's just not the same for everyone. It's a subjective thing. It's what's important to you.
Or if you wonder why the universes, planes of existence, etc. were created, well I don't know but it's probably one of these: so there wouldn't be nothing, expression of artistic creativity, expression of inventive engineering.

Yea. That's why it would require omnipotence to know the answer. I mean, what is the definition of a god, anyway? A creator? There could be a being that created our universe, but is some lazy fuck where it comes from (look at how many unpopulated stars there are).
We could be some kids abandoned science experiment.
If the question is "do the gods of any earthly religions exist." I would say definitely not.

i think about that shit a lot
now people are always skeptical of that alien shit and i mean i dont believe in aliens comin to earth
i do believe that there are other lifeforms out there somewhere though
as for the definition of god.. thats a good point
nobody really has a true answer
to some a god is a guy who summons the weather or makes it or whatever
to others its like a guy whos there to look after them
its always different

I think its irrelevant.
All I know is that I have faith in God and encourage others to as well.

as long as youre not one of those people that try to force you to believe in it
i dont understand that
i mean i see if you want to try and enlighten other people to how you feel towards god
but wait my brain blanked
oh yeah but i mean if i already said that its not my thing then i dont want someone tryin to pressure me into it
ya know? i just dont think thats right.
i see it as if it were so great, i would go to him myself, but i dont feel that way so you know
but no hate towards people who have that faith in god

How do you encourage others? How can you knowing you are being dishonest?
There's no benefit to belief in a fantasy. None. Studies show that those who believe in god are more likely than non-believers to seek invasive procedures when given a terminal diagnosis. Why hold on to life if paradise awaits?

nah dont bash if hes not hurting
i mean i used to bash but its just more pathetic
for some god has changed their lives, not mine personally
some people truly believe in it so they dont see themselves as being dishonest
now if he was trying his heart out to convince us to believe in god id hate
but for now hes cool with me

Religion breeds bigotry, shame, guilt, and a delusional vision of life. It raises humans above the rest of the planet. It makes issues such as global climate change and pollution irrelevant.
There is no reason to spread delusion. Its not harmless. You can preach morality and community without delusional beliefs.

you can say the same thing about anyone though not just about religious people
religion itself doesnt do it its the person
there are plenty of religions that dont believe in a god and going to either heaven hell or just nowhere
i know quite a few people that without their religion they would just be a mess in life
luckily though their faith in religion and praying has kept them from going crazy they say
so its not all harmful

No. It is religion that is the problem. Good people do terrible things. Take Christianity for instance. The guilt and shame it teaches is traumatic.

Religion should be like scatological pornography. Done in secret and never involving children.

I'm not being dishonest. Christians believe God has a purpose for their life which they can't accomplish if they're dead.

Um... most people think people are more important than animals. Hence why we eat animals and not people.
Climate change and pollution affects people and is thus very important.

Those who say zero; not a chance are wrong. There is a chance that a higher power exists, it's just incredibly unlikely. The second option is the superior.
