Yes, Sereda, your little white doggie is God.
Jesus Christ in a tortilla shell, this guy is just fucking brain damaged. What a total waste of videotape, ridiculous tripe, nonsensical drivel, mental masturbation gone terribly wrong. Sereda must be proud to have fathered this smelly stinkbomb - I especially dig the shitty soundtrack, it would be just perfect as background music for a porn movie consisting of a baboon repeatedly shoving a cement-covered banana up it's own ass.
I hope this asshat flies off to Andromeda as soon as possible. Seriously.
And take the damned dog with you. He's in bed with his woman, but reaches for the dog. That just about sums it up for me. Bad judgment, right to the end.

THIS, is the quote of the year. I seriously cried from laughter when I read this. THIS is why I'm proud to call David my friend.

I see Sereda still lives in WooWooville.
His dog didn't want anything to do with him, notice?

Sereda is so absolutely delusional, it's not funny.
"The Universe was created for US. GOD created it for US."
Human vanity knows no bounds. I know that so much of organized religion takes this stance - that the Universe was somehow created to be our playground, our resource, yup, it's all here because of us little talking monkeys. That's exactly the kind of belief system that ultimately decimates and destroys the species that embraces it. Let's kill our enemies in the name of our God, let's treat our planet like an bottomless toilet, God will forgive us and make it all right. Well, I've personally had it with this drivel, this nonsensical horseshit that has caused so much misery throughout history, so much pain and suffering and sadness. If belief in God consists of this delusional self-denial, I say to HELL with your god. In the memory of all the innocents who paid for your belief in god with their blood, I damn you and your vanity. If there is a power that is omnipotent in this universe, I hope that it ignores your prayers and your supplications for more belongings, for winning the lottery, for punishing the neighbor you caught fucking your wife, for destroying those eeveel ayrabs and all the other children of dog that you fear.
I've had enough with the type of ignorance that believes that this glorious, vast universe is here for their pleasure, a plaything meant for us and ONLY us. I wish I could take these morons and put them about three miles away from a star about to go supernova. A front row seat to the glories of your God, and make sure to put on your sunglasses, assholes, 'cause God cooks with hydrogen, helium and the biggest fucking can of Sterno you've ever seen. The light of God is gonna turn your atoms into mush, and I for one will rejoice as you blink out of existence. Perhaps then my species can actually take that next evolutionary step, take responsibility for our own actions, stop dumping our guilt onto an imaginary paternal figure and grow up already.
Oh, and for anyone who would give me shit for disrespecting God, fuck off, God told me to write these words, so who am I to argue?

Well said as always, David.
My thoughts can be best summed up from some of the greatest minds of our time: George Carlin and Bill Hicks.
"In the Bullshit Department, a businessman can't hold a candle to a clergyman. 'Cause I gotta tell you the truth, folks. When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims: religion. No contest. No contest. Religion. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told.
Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man -- living in the sky -- who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!
But He loves you.
He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshit story."
-George Carlin
"I want you to know, when it comes to believing in god- I really tried. I really really tried. I tried to believe that there is a god who created each one of us in his own image and likeness, loves us very much and keeps a close eye on things. I really tried to believe that, but I gotta tell you, the longer you live, the more you look around, the more you realize...something is FUCKED-UP. Something is WRONG here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is NOT good work. If this is the best god can do, I am NOT impressed. Results like these do not belong on the resume of a supreme being. This is the kind of shit you'd expect from an office temp with a bad attitude. And just between you and me, in any decently run universe, this guy would have been out on his all-powerful-ass a long time ago. "
-George Carlin
"We are the facilitators of our own creative evolution."
-Bill Hicks
There's more to all this wireless fast food life we've impressively engineered for ourselves. If we applied the same creative thinking that gave us the microchip and the space station to two thousand year old religious ideas then maybe we'd really accomplish something.

Carlin can always be relied upon for insight.
One distinction I've been harping on for the past few years in discussions of this type (and feel free to ignore it, it's my own personal pet peeve) is the distinction between GOD and RELIGION.
When people gripe about GOD they're usually griping about a RELIGION, specifically some aspect of it's dogma. Doesn't matter which religion, they're all equally guilty. The key point is that all the evidence we have indicates that they were invented by US. We make this shit up. We write the scriptures, we build the churches, we burn the witches, kill the infidels and slaughter the unbelievers. Hymns, weddings, baptisms, funerals, holidays, prayers, sacred rights... still all us. Notice something? GOD is curiously absent. We talk alot about GOD as a part of these religious goings on and great number of people certainly claim to speak for GOD but he never actually seems to make an appearance. Dwelling on this, two thoughts spring to mind:
A) God is a fictitious entity
B) God doesn't give a shit about us
While I'm comfortable with A, I actually prefer B. Don't get me wrong, I'm no creationist, I just like the idea of a supreme designer for the universe. What I have trouble with is the notion that he gives a crap about me or anyone else for that matter, just doesn't seem likely. In fact, if there is a God and he/she/it/they are aware of us AT ALL, it's probably in a detached and passing fashion, like how if you stop to think about it, there's trillions of bacteria crawling all over you right now, just that basic level of awareness. And just like the bacteria, I very much doubt God is interested in what we're doing down here, nor do I think he would notice if he obliterated us with the cosmic equivelant of anti-bacterial soap.
So when a guy like Sereda comes along I just stand and stare. Clearly he's of his meds and yet, he's basically saying the same stuff that gets read out of so-called holy books from the pulpits of churches, temples and mosques every week-end. How is it that that stuff gets a free pass while guys like Sereda are scrutinized with a healthy degree of disdain and skepticism? Answer: longevity. 1000 years from now, the Church of Andromeda will probably be going strong, with offerings made to St. Sereda every day.

Yea, I get irritated by people that think we have souls, but other creatures don't. Many bible thumpers have a problem with the idea we evolved from apes, but no problem taking it on faith that they were made from dirt. Funny, both are seemingly correct. We came from the Earth/water and are related to apes etc. Then again, why stop there, and say we came from star stuff. Or the big bang. Carlin gives a poetic and funny depiction of the Big Bang in his latest show, Life is Worth Losing. It can be scene at Youtube.
I view God in a similar way I view theories of forces in physics. Technical fictions but are backed up by reason and observations, with room to grow. Not religious sorts of anthropomorphic gods, mind you.
Much to say on the topic, but it's time for sleep.

David Sereda is not only the first man to go to Andromeda, but he also happens to be the first professional photographer to capture Pamela Anderson on film! I would be happy to see that instead of this Andromeda crap! 
I, David Sereda captured Pam first!

Neuromancer,
Thanks SO MUCH for that link. I just LOVE the last little bit:
[size=small]I thought we would fly to the Congo and save the Gorillas together, join Greenpeace and fight off baby seal killers, make love in our igloo (my male fantasy), fly to the Bahamas and save the whales from being exploited for their underwater music, then go on stopping the Chinese from killing tigers so that they can make tiger penis soup (this is true, really, they do that) for aphrodisiacs, get Hollywood to stop nuclear testing in Nevada and fund Dr. Bogdan Castle Maglich’s non-radioactive, helium-3 fusion and retire as multi-millionaires in the snow.
Instead of my amazing plan, Pam Anderson became "Pamela Lee" and did not answer my calls. She did not even know that I existed. While all the while I helped her wherever I could in the beginning, and I am not her claim to fame, she would not lend a hand to me when I asked for it, even to this day. Perhaps fame destroys memory, perhaps it destroys more than that. [/size]
Sereda obviously didn't need fame to destroy his mind. Hey, dude, she lost your number 'cause you're damaged, and she didn't need your craziness in her life.

In a around-about way that statement sums up my feelings about the existence of God - if God exists then why don't I believe He exists? Why didn't He just create us all with a 'built-in' belief? What's all this 'test your faith' crap about? If God wanted me to believe He existed then why did he make me skeptical about his existence? Why should I believe those who claim to be God's 'representives on Earth'?
It's true what the other posters have already said - God and religion are too very different things and it really does sadden me to realise that there are still billions of people on this planet who are prepared to blindly follow a few self-appointed messengers of God.

If God created us in his image, then 99 percent of the time, God is a dumbass.
Seriously. There are days when finding out you're the smartest person in the room is a lot like being the only human at the zoo.
God tests us all. Mostly because he gets a lot of amusement seeing what we do.
For example.
Yesterday, I watched a 9 year old kid act like a 3 year old, as he mercilessly beat his father in the checkout line at a grocery store. This kid was having a fricking conniption, crying, carrying on, the whole thing.
So, as I am walking out, I bump into the kid's mom and tell her "It's admirable what you're doing."
She says "What do you mean?"
I say to her, "I know it's gotta be tough raising a developmentally disabled child, especially having to take the kid out to the store and all."
She gets this incredibly disgusted and angry look on her face. "My child is not retarded."
"So, he's just a spoiled little brat then? Wow..." I reply.
Then the kid's dad shows up, asking me if there's a problem.
I tell the guy, "Oh no, no problem. Compared to your life, my life is idyllic."
I turned and walked out leaving the family of troglydytes behind.
