Just because something satisfies you doesn't make it true. Kids believe in Santa and it makes them happy that he brings them gifts for being good kids every year. But at the end of the day, Santa isn't real.
Also, it's a false dichotomy to say that if you don't believe in God, then you believe in nothing. God =/= everything, so the antithesis to believing in God isn't believing in nothing. You can beileve in peace, humanitarianism, altruism, love, friendship etc. without believing in God. "Belief in nothing" is a lie propogated by the religious to make the irreligious look like they don't care about a thing in the world, which is false. It also doesn't make sense because we, as the human species, don't even truly understand the concept of "nothing"

No shit.
@ second bolded I never said that God = everything.
Example of someone putting words in peoples mouths, when they never said that.

actually, you did. Indirectly. You said "having something to believe in is more satisfying than having nothing to believe in". "Something to believe in" in this case, is God. And your alternative? "nothing to believe in". If it's either you believe in God or you believe in nothing, it stands to reason that you believe God = everything. And if God is only just "something" and not "everything", then why is the alternative to believing in him, "believing in nothing", when there are other things to believe in?
Or is "having something to believe in" not a reference to God, in the context of what you said?
|
No I didn't, just becuase you say indirectly doesn't mean I said that. Again your trying to twist peoples words.
|
I'd rather believe in God than believe in nothing is what you said.
You're hiding behind the fact that you didn't outright post "God is everything", but the conclusion I made is valid and sound
|
Never said that sorry to say your word twisting isn't going to work. I don't think God is everything.
