Belief

[brewer]

---

I'm willing make this proposition:  I believe in a central source of all things.  I will grant that this belief may or may not be true.  If someone can posit even an imaginary situation that would count as evidence against the truth of this belief and I can't reasonably conclude that it wouldn't actually count as such evidence, I will admit that I have a problem.  Otherwise, I see no issue with believing what I believe.

Hi Val.

So exactly what is this "central source of all things"? I saw you state before that "The best way I know how to define God is, very, very basically, as a central, singular source of all things." 

This does not give me/us much to go on. Does this singular source have any characteristics, qualities or identifications that you can tell us about? You say it's a source of all things, does that mean that it is a creator?

To this point, with out more to go on, and in comparison to reality, all you've provided is a fantasy. A product of the mind with nothing to substantiate it. Fantasies are not in accord with reality, there is no more evidence that I need.

If you require a belief in a fantasy for a meaningful life, be my guest. It's not up to me to provide you with an evidence against it. With the limited details I doubt there could be any. However, if you would like me or others to consider that your belief has any validity then you're going to have to step up and tell us more than "it's this thing that provides everything". (not stating that those are your words)

Edit: I did notice that you mentioned eternal happiness at one point. Is this one of the reasons for your belief?
