You hope not......
Kind of reminds me of some things other atheists have said regarding their atheism. Thomas Nagel and Aldous Huxley come to mind.
The idea of hoping God does not exist, not wanting God to exist, finding reasons to not believe in God all speak of an issue that is not an intellectual one, but rather an emotional one.
I wanted god and heaven to exist. I didn't leave Christianity and become an atheist because I wanted to. I became an atheist because it was the only logical stance I could make sense of.
When I debate theists like you I am hoping one of you will point out what I'm missing. Tell me how my uncomfortable conclusions are false.
After all these years though I don't really believe that any of you have it.
So I'm operating under the assumption that said evidence doesn't exist.
Anything can happen though. Maybe I'll be surprised one day.
I really kind of doubt it, though
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
