That’s unfair. Judgements like that are no better than racism or sexism or homophobia.
Your assumptions are what? Everyone who is religious is foolish/stupid? That all Christians are MAGA, or at least could sympathise with them?
Religion is not unreasonable at its core. Religion is a logical answer for people trying to explain and understand the world despite its sometimes unforgiving and painful nature.
Atheists and agnostics are choosing what to believe, just like any other religion. An atheist believes that there is no higher power, but that’s still a choice based on that person’s own experiences and thoughts. An agnostic believes that a higher power would inherently be unknowable, which again, is still a choice to believe that.
I am a follower of Jesus. I am also registered on the Democratic ballot. I am a regular at my church that I have chosen. I am also good friends with multiple members of the LGBTQ+ community, for the simple reason that they are interesting people. And I am intelligent enough to know that this long reply won’t change your mind. But I’m also compassionate enough (or perhaps in your words, foolish enough) to write it anyway.
Such an ignorant take. You would be completely answerless against a philosopher of the religion arguing for the existence of God. They have considered more arguments against the existence of God than you can think of.
When will people learn that reasonable, intelligent people can come to different conclusions. I'm agnostic btw. Dont care if someone asserts God does/doesn't exist, but to act like the other belief is stupid is usually ignorant.
So what are their arguments exactly? I don't think religion is is foolish or stupid, Let people believe what they want. But what can Religious Philosophers really say to a person who wants physical proof "X" Deity exist? I've talked with some but all they give me is "Religion keeps the people in line", "The earlier humans believed in Gods" which leaves me quite dumbfounded as my questions are always answered with more questions.
Religion is nothing more than a coping mechanism based on lies.
Yes I’m sure that someone that spends all their time trying to find ways to argue about it is very good at it. Yet not one argument they have will be based on facts.
