I don't see why it is that so many people turn away from
Christianity or
Judaism because they
believe there's no
logical reason to
believe in
God, and then immediately turn to the equally
illogical belief that there is no
god. Saying that you're sure that there
isn't a god doesn't make any more
sense than saying you're sure that there
is a god. It really annoys me when I hear
people telling other people that they're
atheists in a voice that sounds like they think they're much more
intelligent than
people of other
religions because they don't believe in
God.
I will admit that there is probably much more
chance of there being no
god than all of the specific
beliefs and
stories of
Christianity and
Judiasm being
true, but
Atheism is no more
logical than the
belief that a
god exists.
Amelinda - I agree with your point. I'm not sure whether "for a refutation" refers to my writeup or siren's. If your refutation was for my writeup, I actually said basically the same thing as you did at the end of my writeup.
