I don't believe many people thought up the idea there is no God on their own since historically speaking, humans have believed a God exists. So I don't think they came to the conclusion themselves, but that this is something that is taught (or worse, they are simply believing in an antithesis). The point here is that people are not thinking for themselves.I don;t recall it having ever been any sort of idea that I came up with at all. As you mention.."historically", people have been believers. I just never believed what so many of you believe. I didn't know there was a name for it until much, much later.
Quote: I will say I am not a hypocrite in this manner considering I came to the only reasonable conclusion I could make, which is that in the debate of whether God is real or not, I find the only reasonable explanation is that I don't know, which leads me to thinking that because there is a debate about God in the first place that someone somewhere must be on to something a long time ago, which leads me to believing everything is miraculous and everything is God.People thought that the browns were a lesser race since a long time ago, as well. I don;t know how anything you just wrote absolves your "historically" common god believing hypocrisy, why you feel that you can;t know whether or not gods exist, or why something being written on a cave wall is suddenly more likely to be true...........or that any of that would lead to anything miraculous or divine.
Glad to clear up your misunderstanding, in my case..anyway. Maybe you could clear some of the above up for me?
