But--- this idea is my way of dealing with people close to me who want to convert me because they love me, and whom I might hurt by debate. Consequently, it is meant to end discussion, as most theists really really want there to be a god.
I'll undoubtedly gone on shooting down purported proofs of god on this forum or elsewhere.
What does my belief have do with whether a God exists or not? What I propose is to measure evidence, for and against. If you can prove to me a God does not exist, then sure I'll no longer believe, but If I can prove to you that a God does exist, could you say you'd accept him?
Yes, if there is a proponderence of evidence that a god (any god yours or someone elses) most likely exists, then I certainly want to believe in that god. I might not want to worship it though.
What you want to believe blinds you. It causes you to be unable to assess evidence. Otherwise, you would not want to believe in god if there isn't one, or one is unlikely. Why else is that simple assertion so very hard for you?
Say it: I Huggy, I do not want to believe in God, if God does not exist.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
