RE: About atheism

No, religions are illusions made by clever people, who figured out that dumb, ignorant and fearful meatbags will pay them for telling stories.

Wait... What? How does "reality" "dictate" anything? All we can do is observe reality and methodical observation of reality (a.k.a. science) has never shown, that universe is endless, or that "anything is possible". That's just a point of view of primitive, uninformed minds, who accept emotionally pleasing models of reality in order to feel comfortable in their ignorance.

And yet... there are no unicorns, dragons, sexy elf mages or gods, that any of the numerous proponents of such entities can point to. And consequently - we live as if none of those exist. Just because something is vaguely, theoretically possible - that doesn't mean it's wise to assume that existence for a fact. Because it opens you to aforementioned clever people, who will use your gullibility for their own ends.

Hey, would you like to buy some dragon-fire insurance, since in your view "reality dictates that in seemingly endless universe anything is possible"? No? Why not? Are you just arrogant and hate the idea of dragons? Tongue

Yes, yes - that's true of pretty much anything. You can't completely rule out the existence of anything you can think of. Still - we all know that people, who accept myths as reality are either stupid, or children, or both. And as far as heuristics go - this one seems to check out.
