Isn't it crazy to believe in someone that doesn't exist though?

Wanting to believe in something is different to actually, genuinely believing in it. If there is no evidence for something it is illogical to do anymore than speculate its existence, let alone worship it.

stupidity

That's kind of a rush, emotional, risky, blanket judgmental opinion there, don't you think?

I'd say the other factors in my original answer are perhaps bigger culprits, stupidity is definitely up there though...

I'm going to add naivety to the list as well.

I agree there's a difference between wanting to believe it (say because you think its "right" to) and actually believing it. I'm not remotely religious but I accept that people are. They all will presumably have their own reasons, maybe they thought they saw some miracle when they were 7 or something haha, but I don't understand why people get so worked up if people are religious.Why is it necessarily illogical? If worshipping a god brings someone happiness or makes them feel good then why should they stop?

There is a line, of course. If say creationism gets in the way of hard scientific facts then fair enough but as far as I am aware no-one has proven that a god, or gods, do not exist?

This is why I remain agnostic.

There is also no evidence that a flying spaghetti monster doesn't exist.

yes very true... and your point is....
What the point of anything if there's no God. Everything you love is going to die, there's no right or wrong and your an utterly meaningless speck upon the universe. OP what's the point of this thread, everyone who see's this is going to forget about it in a couple minutes anyway.

should i just apologies and spare us both? results tomorrow so its about time I got some sleep

I apologise, if you're collecting results good luck.
You again ..?

If you're happy not believing in God well you should just keep that up :h:

If some other people do think there is a God somewhere and are happy with that thought; they should keep that up :h:

If some others don't want to believe in humans and think they're a unicorn and are happy this way they should keep that up :h:

Why would you be bothered by what people think if it does not cause you any harm..
