- csours 11y agoSo you have ferreted all the gods out of all the gaps in human knowledge? That is an amazing accomplishment! Bases for belief are weird, even when they are not based on religion. Many mentalities are based on absolutes, it seems you have replaced god with no-god. I don't think the anti-theist mindset is particularly useful. You cannot use facts to change someone's mind, especially where facts were not used in the first place. Religion is a largely emotional experience to most people; denying them that experience is just hurtful, not constructive.
- jordanpg 11y agoThere are plenty of grey areas in the world, yes. Supernatural claims made by religions are not among those. Those are just self-evidently false. I'm not denying anyone anything. I'm just saying that the supernatural claims made by religions are obviously false. I don't really care if anyone's feelings are hurt by that.
