Good. Then you should understand where and why we are creating gods for ourselves. Gods as defined as the best rules and laws to live by and so far, secular gods, laws and rules that is, have all been created by people who also put supernatural gods aside.
Indeed, our intellect is growing and intelligent people recognize that supernatural gods are just fiction. God has no place in the minds of intelligent thinkers.
That is why the religious fear intelligent reasoning and logic.
Martin Luther
“Faith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding.”
“Reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has.”
Keep your faith my friend but remember that faith is only good for those who do not want the truth.
The final verdict on God’s existence will be decided soon. I haven’t got laid in many months so that’s that’s a few points against his favor. And the date God set up the girl couldn’t kiss me on the lips because I was too ugly I guess. Today I had a date that was cancelled today, so I went to a bar to find a woman, the woman at the bar said she believed in monogamy, so I called another girl, then she told me I was too pushy then hung up on me (Irony because, if she values politeness, she should be polite, but of course women are eager to find fault in everyone else but themselves.)
The final verdict on whether God/magic exists will be determined scientifically and emperically. It all boils down to that test I took a few weeks ago. If the answers are correct God definitely exists, but if the answers are wrong, then the voices in my head are all lies, and I should no longer trust them.
You are likely listening to your Father Complex.
At least I think that that is what Jung and Freud would say.
Science cannot ever prove the non-existence of god.
It is not to them to prove or disprove the delusion that some have.
It is to the deluded to show that they are not so.
Mostly all who fly the cross think our gain of knowledge in Eden was a sin. Original sin.
They reject that the moral sense that comes from the knowledge of good and evil, which is basically all knowledge, as all knowledge is either good or evil, is good.
This view is counter to the original Jewish view of Eden as our place of elevation.
“Instead of the Fall of man (in the sense of humanity as a whole), Judaism preaches the Rise of man: and instead of Original Sin, it stresses Original Virtue, the beneficent hereditary influence of righteous ancestors upon their descendants”.
This being the case, it would appear to me, considering how long it took for humanity itself to evolve into who and what we are today, and into who and what we will be -coming…
…we are definitely worth saving, as a whole. We’re far from perfect but still - WE ARE - I mean we have existence.
What a waste it would be to destroy all of those billions of years, don’t you think?
I’m not a nihilist of THAT kind.
I have many gods myself - the stars, the trees, the oceans, a few good men lol, the wind, the rain, the planets, the moon…
