Vain, or Humble?
#1
Vain, or Humble?
So I have an interesting question for you fellow Atheists,

Do you think that the religious people who claim to speak to god, or have a relationship with god are Vain, or Humble?


Since we, as Atheists, and basically any other religious person, believe anyone claiming to "talk to god" or if you're religious, anyone claiming to talk to the god that is not yours;

we believe these people are basically just talking to a voice in their head, and nothing else.


Therefore, is it vain for them to praise god? Since they are technically praising themselves?

Or is it Humble, because they are showing a low estimate of their own self importance, and are praising what they think is someone besides themselves that is important enough to be worth praising?
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

There is God and there is man, it's only a matter of who created whom

The more questions you ask, the more you realize that disagreement is inevitable, and communication of this disagreement, irrelevant.
