Lets take a little break from politics and have us a real atheist conversation.
Personally, I’m open to the idea of the existence of supernatural phenomena, and I believe mainstream religions are actually complicated incomplete stories full of misinterpretations, misunderstandings, and half-truths.
Basically, I think that these stories are not as simple and straightforward as they seem to be to religious people. I feel like there is a lot more to them. Concluding that all these stories are just made up or came out of nowhere is kind of hard for me.
Exactly. I don’t find atheism itself as attractive as agnosticism. There’s as much evidence supporting a god as there is else. I don’t claim to know either way, it’s largely unknowable, and so you gotta kinda just go on faith one way or another. This is also a part of why I keep insisting this is all a VERY personal set of beliefs.
What evidence is there supporting a god? Because there is plenty of evidence that the universe runs just fine without a god based on physics as we understand it. There’s no place for a god to fit into it.
