AGAIN, you refuse to answer the why to yourself because you are afraid that will destroy your illusion.
I have no problem answering the question of "why I believe". I do think about it, and have answered a number of times here before. I also look at from an internal perspective. I think you psychic abilities are defective today. Or perhaps you are having difficulty letting go of your illusion!
Quote:You already agreed that the "fine tuning" does not point to a specific deity/god/s/God.
I agree, it does not.
So again, why do you feel the need to plop any god claim into the gap? It seems to me you already rightfully reject all other claims besides the one you feel you need. Funny how you don't feel the need to believe all the ones you rightfully reject. I am being very fair to you because my question is the same regardless of religion.
We already discussed this... 1) You keep trying to interject the word "feel" into my position. 2.) We where discussing this... you seem to want to change the topic. If you are just going to dis-reguard what I said previously and insert a tired strawman, I don't see any reason to repeat myself.
Quote:Why do you feel the need to select the one you did? Not what, but why? Why do you not worry about being punished by Allah, or Yahweh or Pele?
Again, you seem to be trying to interject positions, that I do not hold here, and are not based on anything that I have stated thus far. Which makes me hesitant to answer. As to why I believe in the description of God that I do, that is gong to be based on historical evidence. And it is based on taking the different conclusions and evidence together to see what matches the best.
Quote:Why are you not afraid of your pre life? You didn't exist 5 million years ago. Do you think anything horrible will happen to you if you suddenly figure out this is it?
No, unless what I figure is wrong.
Still stubbornly clinging desperately so let me help you out.
"No" is the only correct part of your last sentence, no need to go further. Nothing bad will happen to you if you figure out this is it. You will still have ups and downs, and even bad things happen in your life, and yes ultimately you will die. What you DONT have to fear is is being tortured forever. Just like you don't fear being tortured by Allah or Pele or any Mayan god.
There is no sky hero there to promise you an eternity of ice cream and cookies, but there is also no sky bully there to beat the shit out of you for not kissing his ass.
There, is that simple enough for you? You aren't afraid of all the other god claims you rightfully reject so do yourself a favor and free yourself from your own needless illusion.
It wont kill you to accept your finite existence. You can still live your life and feel joy and love just like enjoying a movie or concert or book and all those things have an end too.
