Omnipresent what?
Essence of god, if you are a pandeist.

What are the defining qualities of this essence?Essence of god, if you are a pandeist.
Isn't there an old expression? Something like 'if you sink to their level, you're no better than they are.'
Be that as it may(I'm not going to argue the semantics), if the one who asks the question has a religion that is unique to themselves, then the justification given for insulting them is invalid.LOL, believing in God IS religion, you dope.
I had realization today, that for major life decisions emotion always leads and reason follows. I realized that modern culture is horrible at an emotional level first, and then I studied why and I understood it at a logical level.
So based on this, I would like to ask all of you atheists to insult religion and insult religious people. Please keep up the good work. The reason for this is to encourage religious people to hate you and to reject modern culture. Only once religious people reject modern culture emotionally can they take the next step and understand at a logical level why modern culture is pure evil.

I will continue to criticize religion, but I will empathize with religious people. They need to be led to a rational epistemology though patience and understanding. Emotion is not the same as faith. Emotion is a necessary component of being human, faith is pretending to know things you don't know.I had realization today, that for major life decisions emotion always leads and reason follows.

But that sounds like a problem with Christianity, and similarly evangelical and absolutist religions. Not a problem with religion as a whole.We've been told many times that we're going to burn in hell... If that's not judgmental and insulting, I don't know what is.
No it isn't. It's a belief; a religion is a system that includes belief structures and specific practices.LOL, believing in God IS religion, you dope.

One can very much be a theist without participating in a religion.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion said:Religion is an organized collection of beliefs, cultural systems, and world views that relate humanity to an order of existence.[note 1] Many religions have narratives, symbols, and sacred histories that are intended to explain the meaning of life and/or to explain the origin of life or the Universe. From their beliefs about the cosmos and human nature, people derive morality, ethics, religious laws or a preferred lifestyle. According to some estimates, there are roughly 4,200 religions in the world.
Q, religion is not necessarily a belief in God.
Furthermore, there are people who believe in God who are not religious; they may refer to themselves as "spiritual" instead.
