The reason I answered that there's a 50% God exists is that I really don't think it matters. More specifically, since the existence of God can neither be proven nor disproven, the matter of God's existence is an act of faith. I hold atheism and religionism equally as forms of faith. I prefer to be logical and be agnostic; not because i doubt in the existence of God, but because I don't think it matters.
Even if there is a god or gods that exist, they are not activly involved in the affairs of man. So they would be defined as deist gods. As that is obviously the case it does not matter if they did exist.
Why do people continue to have arguments here about a singular god? God this, god that, god the other. We live on a planet that has huge numbers of gods that people believe in, past and present.
Believers talk about the god they believe in. That's one out of 3,000 +. Forget the others. Agnostics talk about their agnosticism about "god". That's the one they grew up with and care about. Forget the others. Even atheists , my position sometimes say they are atheists about "god". No, you're atheist about ALL of them, and that's consistent anyway.
I get so sick of posts and comments about "god". It's not just semantics. It's a fact that we don't all believe , not believe or are agnostic about one damn god. Yet on it goes.....
Atheism as a form of faith? That's a new one... Being atheist simply means not religious... Anything added to this definition is pure nonsense ...
Atheism is NOT faith. It is based on science and what we DO know.
God is based on nonsense and faith.
It matters because the population makes its decisions and votes on their "faith".
Thats the problem.
Not to mention, the abuses by the "church".
@Oscar_C That's not what science does.
Can science prove I'm not seeing invisible dragons in my garage christian?
@Oscar_C MRIs do not read content of the mind... Mind reading hasn't been invented yet...
@Oscar_C Bullshit. We can only tell which portions of the brain are active.
@Oscar_C Evolution disproves "god".
Quite agree. Both ideologies seem to get caught up in bashing each other.
Let’s get on with life as if god doesn’t matter one way or the other. No need to fight a corner really.
