Dad links son's suicide to 'The God Delusion'

RE: Dad links son's suicide to 'The God Delusion'
(December 4, 2008 at 1:26 pm)Psalm 23 Wrote: I claim God exists, you claim he doesn't. There is zero scientfic studies that prove God is a delusion of the mind. Atheists always demand evidence before they can believe in something. So, what's the difference with this arguement compared to many others? Atheists have no evidence that "God is imaginary," so, if there is zero evidence of this statement, then how can atheists put so much faith into something that cannot be explained by any mortal man?

You believe in a something without evidence = delusion
I refuse to believe in this being as there is 0 evidence = safe stance
Lack of belief =/= belief

Quote: According to the atheist bible "The God Delusion," the atheistic fearless leader Dawkins claims, "All religions are delusional." If you cannot see he is claiming all atheist are normal, and religous people suffer from delusions, then you better re-read his book.

I haven't read his book. I will agree with him however that religious beliefs are pretty delusional (in regards to God). I doubt Mr Dawkins is incinuating that the people who are atheist are logical and the people who are religious are illogical. He's just talkign about the specific belief being garbage (I assume).

Quote: Well, it doesn't matter if they understand their job, right? These Doctors believe in God, so therefore, they are delusional and insane. I'm glad you would put your trust into a delusional schitzophrentic to save your life. Smile

They have one delusional belief. One. They don't realise it is delusional, they are probably logical human beings who think they are being logical and would probably trash the idea when presented with evidence and ideas. When we say "religious people are delusional", we only mean "delusional in regards to their belief in the supernatural". We aren't making any implications about the rest of their lives.
