Recently read an article where Ben Harper claims the only reason people
believe in God is because of death. He states if we didnt die "we wouldnt
give a shit about religion."

Agree or disagree?

Totaly agree... because people don't know what there is after death they try
to reassure themself by believe of something or in someone that "guarantee"
a "life" after death (for me there is absolutely nothing after death...) ...
and without religion we could have a lot less of war...
But everybody can believe in what they want... and it's good like that.

(sorry for my english...)

Disagree. But I admire his passion & conviction. I belive in God
because, well, I'm here, aren't I? Some Higher Power caused me to be
here.

some spermatozoid and ovula caused you !

to me (and i'm sure, most of us), god has nothing to do with that

as some great french singer once said "men created god, the opposite is yet
to be proved" (also pardon my bad english)

Yeah, but what about the _first_ spermatozoid & ovula? Who made that? See?

Yeah, for the purpose of this discussion, I guess. Original post:
"if we didnt die "we wouldnt give a shit about religion," Harper
states; agree or disagree.

I disagree, but of course, I adore his music.

what he said was: "if people didnt have to die, they wouldn't give a
fuck about God.." not religion.
there's a pretty big difference between the two in that context , i
believe.

Yeah! That classic intro: the percussion leading into OPPRESSION.
Maybe I will listen to it tonight!

"You just won't leave bad enough alone
Oppression: I won't let you near me, NO
Oppression: to divide & to conquer is your goal
I swear that hatred is your home..."

Evolution has been debunked by modern cosmology. The fine tuning of the universe and our sun planet system requires a fine tuner. Moreover, the highly complex specified info. encoded in the DNA molecule necessitates intelligent causation. Random chance cannot produce highly complex specified information. Darwinian Evolution is a lie being used to prop up a worldview that rejects God. A bad lie, but the only game in town for materialists.
