There is no evidence for God

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?

So why do people still believe in God?

I havnt never seen evolution beffore. I think its all lies

Does this have anything to do with the thread? Haven't seen =/= no evidence for

It's illogical because there's no evidence for it, in the sense that you're essentially fooling yourself into believing it's there just because it makes you happier to think so (some people are obviously satisfied with this, but I'd hate to purposefully withhold the truth from myself). If you use religion as just a way of life then it's harmless, but those who become too devout can turn it into a political force if they have sufficient numbers and anything that doesn't fit their narrative is then threatened. One example is, as you have aptly said, creationism being taught in religious schools. The children had no choice in attending the school since their parents decided, so it's essentially indoctrination and (in my opinion) a form of intellectual abuse. Obviously that doesn't occur in a lot of instances, but that's dependent on where you live in the world. Moreover I just couldn't stand lying to myself when there's a mountain of evidence to suggest the converse. By its very nature one cannot prove or disprove God, but the probability of his existence is practically zero in face of the counter evidence (and that's just a non-interventionist creator God, the gods of the various world scriptures blatantly don't exist).

there is no evidence that god does not exist.

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

You again ..?

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

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

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

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

It may be illogical, but religion gives people hope. If you see a family member on the verge of death and they believe in heaven would you tell them straight up it's illogical to believe in someone like god and therefore life after death? If you think it's right to put people down like that or imply that it's stupid to believe in something which doesn't have actual proof you disgust me mate. It's called faith.
Personally I believe in God but sometimes I don't it's all about faith. if you don't believe in god that's fine. I do me, you do you. Get me g?

Because they brainwash their kids, they manipulate others. Just because there is no immediate physical harm doesn't mean there is no harm at all.

And by your logic it is fine to be racist as long as you don't act out.

If people can talk about God they can talk about how whites are God's chosen people.

So basically raising a child is a brainwash now ? Like if your parents raise you as a bilingual child omg what a brainwash maybe you didn't want to be bilingual

"My logic" never said being racist is okay, you said it, ffs are you that stupid ?



I'm sorry ?

The only one who is stupid is you. You refuse to look beyond your bias.

A language is real. God is not. Telling your child she is real is brainwashing. I appreciate that this may apply to many things regarding raising children, but this is particularly discerning as you are essentially making up a fairy tale.

Yes it did. You said it's fine to believe what you want as long as you don't hurt others. Going around saying whites are God's chosen people, is not harming others, is it? It is a perfectly legitimate belief according to you.
