Should I pretend
Post #1I do not believe in God and can't understand why people do apart from wishful thinking. Believing in God creates a sense of purpose and meaning so rather than trying to dissuade people from this view should try to persuade them?

Post #11I agree with what you're saying, Goat. Assuming no God, believers are essentially just listening to their "inner voice", and thereby creating their own purpose.goat wrote:That is your statement of belief. That is the illusion you hold. And, it works for you.
But, why should others subscribe to it?

Post #12It is more than 'no god'. It is also the 'deist god', or if God is different than we assume.
