RE: Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence - but Sometimes They Actually Exist

in #philosophy6 years ago

I should specify that any organized religion with a written style of God does not exist, objectively. I'm open to an abstract style of creator, but to say that Christianity or Islam or whatever is the correct God is stupid and you deserve the utmost ridicule.

Sort:  

You don’t know that. You can assume that. But you don’t know that.

I just hope God exists because I hate atheists so much.

Not all, but the organized religion called ”atheism”.

unfalsifiable hypotheses are useless thought experiments. The Christian God is just as likely to exist as the little leprechaun in my shoes named Chip who loves to talk to me about spaghetti every night, but the catch is only I can see him and he has no physical manifestation that can be tracked.

It useless. Religion existed and continues to exist to control stupid people, plain and simple. The only acceptable religious views are deism or atheism on an agnostic spectrum. Theism is just the definition of cringe.

That said, most prominent atheists are pretty annoying, but I'll take annoying over preaching hatred and factually untrue garbage.

Nah. I'd say the Christian God has a stronger case going for it than a little leprechaun. There's an entire religion and a massive social movement around the idea of the Christian God. Not so much a leprechaun. The movement having started from people's experiences with Jesus.

And on a personal level, I think religion was a great thing to have around, regardless of whether I believe in God or not.

The Fear of God kept people in line. Everything's been degenerating since the rise of secularism.

Fear was a good motivator before the age of information

Or the age of misinformation.

Misinformation has been the standard since the dawn of time, it will always be the majority.
