Making a new release...

Making a new release in a church, hoping it’s blessed. If there are bugs, don’t blame me - blame God.

Not sure that is a good move. Hasn’t religion and science been in conflict for centuries? I mean science is all about the observable and the ability to revise based on new data, and religion is based on faith and is set in stone (unmovable).Galileo was found guilty of heresy and had to recant his concept of heliocentrism. Hope you don’t suffer the same indignity.

Me too I’m not sure it’s a good move either, but I think it’s a good joke :)
Come on, an atheist can appreciate a church, or any kind of religious temple - not because they approve of the blind faith, but because they admire humanity’s ability to build such magnificent structure inspired by belief. -
@donho,
I think you are confusing, divine grace, with divine intervention.The blessing you’re hoping for, is that your labors are guided and fruitfully error-free, as opposed to being possessed by a spirit that will do the writing for you, thereby making it a work of God, rather than man.
In this case, since you are hoping it is blessed, we would still have to blame the author, which in this case would still be you, oh great pooba. :-)

@Terry-R ,
Actually, historically, it has been man’s inability to accept what he can not understand, that was the conflict. Those with the desire to keep the authoritarian rule, would stick steadfastly to things that were written, so they would not have to entertain the idea that they were not knowledgeable of God’s Will, when in fact, it was their will they were seeking to protect.On the flip side, you have scientists, who even though they have witness to divine things, refuse to believe they are real, because, again, the authoritarian without knowledge, refuses to accept that which it does not understand, or control. Not all scientists mind you, but the one’s that think they’re in control, as did the authorities of old.
Why can there not be an understanding that WE can not definitely say one way or another, and just accept it as a mystery that needs no explanation as we are not yet at that stage, but that we keep searching to understand God (versus religion) AND science?
I’ve always held the belief, that we can’t say God does not exist, because we weren’t here to witness whether the religious beliefs of creation were accurate, or whether the scientific explanations were accurate, as I’ve always held that unless we can irrefutably ascertain which is true, we have no business trying to argue that the other is wrong, and…who’s to say, that both are not true? Perhaps, God did create the Heaven’s, the earth, seas, etc in 6 days when we have no idea what 6 days to God would look like. A day here, is not the same as a day on Venus or Mars, hence, the time we perceive, is irrelevant, if it was not done in our time scale. See where I’m going?
Sorry to expand this post, but just wanting to say, it was Man that has been in conflict via religion, rather than God, with science. :-)
