Re: God's Existence has a 0% Chance
What it all boils down to is that having a religion is a complete waste of time, and believing in a well described religion is certainly delusional behaviour.
​
Why would such a vast number of people participate in such a huge delusion? It seems incredible the human race can be so gullable.

Re: The Evolution of Delusion
yes, well I can see ignorance as playing a huge part in the delusions but what excuse is there today to hold on to such childish beliefs?

Re: Observation and Statistics
But my point was one made from observation. As no one religion has a majority in the world, even if one of them were true, the majority of the religious people of the world must be following false religions, and that's statistically undeniable.
​
Great point but do they beieve in the same God?

Re: The Evolution of Delusion
Moreover, given events like 9/11, I would say that there are compelling reasons not to believe.
​
I don't quite get your point here magda. Are you saying that events such as 9/11 prove there is no god or make it hard to believe there is one? What if the real god was punishing us?
