Is the Atheism/Theism belief/disbelief a false dichotomy? are there other options?
#36
RE: Is the Atheism/Theism belief/disbelief a false dichotomy? are there other options?
Re the OP: in addition to believing gods do or don't exist, and, the confidence you place in that belief there are at least two other questions you might ask. One, is the 'god' in question well defined enough to permit us to assume any of us are talking about the same entity? And, do you care enough about god questions to be arsed to answer any of them?

God could be like that snark they made you try to catch at night, non-existent and essentially just someone's practical joke. if so, you would be quite reasonable to ask to see an actual photograph of a snark (or god). If none is forth coming you would again be reasonable to answer more promising and potentially more rewarding questions. (File the god questions in the round file pending better intel.)
