My journey was:
Wait, there's a ton of religions, most of which think that they're the ones with the one immutable truth?
Then none of them are right, or it would be obvious.
I still spent years with Christian apologia and god-in-the-gaps nonsense but at least my personal moral and religious development was rooted in doubt rather than faith.
Somehow both of my parents were disappointed in my atheism.
theres tons of scientific conclusions about a certain thing as well, so all of them must be false?
what, if, one was right and the rest were wrong, as we can observe?
We can observe that scientifically using evidence. By the same process, we observe no gods at all, just a bunch of humans lying to get what they think they want.
Do people make false claims and pretend they got their scientifically? Yes. But here's the neat part: honest science can correct those lies. Science is a process we use to approach truth, not an authority. If someone misrepresents their results or decides their conclusion before examining the evidence, they are not performing science.
With science, unlike religion, there are measurable standards grounded in observable reality. We can consistently arrive at similar results even if we don't fully understand them.
well, the scientific method must be used to prove, not disprove so you cannot scientifically disprove God's existence.
And can I have the procedure you are following to "observe no God"?
That's exactly it. We use our best means to look, and we do not see god. We do see people making shit up.
This is not complicated. Try being consistent in your values.
Do you believe in Allah? There is just as much evidence for him as for Yahweh (none at all).
"best means"
Correct. Whereas your approach is "just make up whatever I like and pretend it's true." You have invented false evidence, and rejected or distorted legitimate evidence, all so you can keep playing death cultist with a clean conscience.
Fuck you for choosing death.
I can only hope that what goes around, comes around.
You have no idea the suffering you are choosing for innocent people.
where have I done that?
(just check the comment history, folks. it speaks for itself, and it paints an ugly picture.)
