Strong and Weak Arguments

[robvalue]

What peaceful religions? A religion is what people make of it, and very few indeed haven't been used for violence. Most, if not all, contain divisive literature.

Scepticism is about assessing the truth of the claims, it's nothing to do with the strength of God's character. If the particular version of God being described is assessed to be no more real than Batman, then the religion crumbles. And this is indeed the case, for every religion. Considering there's no logical reason to even believe in a generic faceless creator, there's certainly no logical case to believe in a specific one.

If you're rejecting a religion because of God's character or whatever, that's a moral reason. I wish people would use this more. The truth values then don't even matter.

(Edit: To qualify the above, they could reject part of the religion at least. A part that is hateful, and create their own nicer version. People tend to do this anyway to some extent.)
