    To me, the #1 foam finger reason god doesn’t exist is the ability to lie and to believe in lies. As we continue to progress, so do both of these abilities. god didn’t start but was built over time through the evolution of faith. Beginning with aspects of daily life, growing to aspects beyond the life of anyone. It grows in conjunction with a control system. As more people are controlled, lies are refined through tangible experiences and reactions. When lies fail , so does the control. When they succeed, control grows, and “proof” that the lie is a lie is discounted more. A lie is easy in the beginning but always requires more lies to prop it up and exponentially more to make it broader. religion follows this pattern, and the greatest lie is faith.
