JUST WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT THE POINT OF ANY BELIEF IS ABOUT FAITH, NOT LOGIC.


SOMETIMES PEOPLE ASK WHY THE FAITHFUL BELIEVE IN SOMETHING, AS IF IT MUST BE COMPELLING, BUT OF COURSE THAT'S NOT THE CASE. THEY BELIEVE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T DEAL WITH SIMPLY NOT KNOWING. OR THEY NEED COMFORT. WHO THE FUCK KNOWS. WHO CARES. MAKING AN ASSUMPTION JUST TO FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOURSELF IS SILLY. BUT IT'S HARMLESS UNLESS THEY IMPOSE LAWS ON OTHERS.
 
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean "I believe" in that sense. I meant it in the sense that I literally believe what I'm saying xD



I think you missed my point, though. As long as belief is a failure of logic, believing that something is true is no more or less an error than believing something is false. It's a failure of logic either way you go because when you really, *REALLY* break it down belief is nothing more than confirmation bias. Makes sense, right?

I think the reason belief is such a touchy issue is because of it being a based on a bias. And yeah, like I said I don't think we could actually survive without these biases but at the same time wouldn't it be better to recognize it? I don't think it's feasible to overcome all bias(at least that's what I'm telling myself), but if we can be open-minded enough to not let bias lead us into conflict over belief things should be better right?

Then, what's it really matter anyways? At the end of the day, people are just people. As long as they're not being a dick about it or running around killing people in the name of their beliefs, what difference does it really matter what they believe? You think you're just as right as I or anyone else does. Your beliefs aren't better than anyone else's, you just believe they are like everyone else since belief itself is a failure of logic.

Oh, and just for fun: analogy time! Pushing for atheism as being 'more correct' than anything else is the same as proselytisers for religion. Don't you think Jehovah's Witnesses and all those other door-to-door religion 'salesmen' are very tacky things? You're pretty much doing the same thing here. And chances are, just like Jehovah's Witnesses, no one's going to be buying what you're selling.
 
Your beliefs aren't better than anyone else's
WHAT?!


JUST BECAUSE A BELIEF IS VULNERABLE TO BEING WRONG, DOESN’T MEAN THAT DIFFERENT BELIEFS ARE EQUALLY AS VALID.


WHO IS MORE LIKELY TO HAVE THEIR BELIEFS ABOUT PHYSICS COME TO FRUITION? A PHYSICIST? OR A BUM ON THE STREET? OBVIOUSLY THE PHYSICIST WILL HAVE A BETTER TRACK RECORD. HIS BELIEFS ARE BETTER.


RETARDS.
 
I have a question~ I hope it can be answered...and I hope you all are not offended.

-Why did you people decide to become an Atheist/Agnostic/Theist?
-If you found out God was real when you died, what would you do?
-Do you hate God/Jesus, or against the whole corrupt idea of religion?
- Do you hate/dislike people who have a belief in God?
-Lastly, what do you think of Jesus?

Just to let you all know Im not trying to provoke! Im just curious in your responses. I hope Im not offending in any way and if you perfer not to answer I will respect that. m(_ _ m)
