I love these quotes:
James Randy - No amount of belief makes something a fact
Christopher Hitchens - That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence
It just seems absurd to say I "believed god out of existence" like oh if you just believe hard enough, god will go away. I don't believe in the concept because it's fucking retarded.
Every single person's own god is whatever they make up. The guy was asking me to define god and I told him, it's different for everyone, it's whatever you want god to be. Your god is really just a reflection of your own thoughts and feelings. Do I believe that if I were to acknowledge those thoughts and feelings, that I believed up myself, untrue, then would I believe that god doesn't exist? It just seems like a massive false paradigm, which gives way to the "possibility" of there being a god. It's not "I believe god doesn't exist", it's "I believe god is a massive delusion. The believer's god is just his thoughts and feelings".
