All of this is plays out in the arena of an appeal to popularity, which will never be anything more than an appeal to popularity. It makes nothing true and nothing more likely to be true. In fact, the more a person is reduced to such an argument.,.the less likely that they are to have any reason to believe that their beliefs are true in the first place.
If they had one, they'd have gone with that instead...because even they know that they don't put any stock into what a bunch of folks agree with an account of their agreement. You, for example, have no time for biology despite the number of biologists who have arrived at the same conclusions..and in spite of the fact that they, unlike you, can show what they know..rather than conflate their beliefs for knowledge.
Quote:Christians and Muslims believe something even worse (that you will burn in hell for all eternity after all the pain and suffering you've gone through here).Yes, christians and muslims believe something so radically different from you that they believe that -you- are going to hell. To compare your beliefs to theirs as though there were even a general agreement is fundamentally dishonest. You don't even use the term "creator" in a meaningfully similar way.
Quote: Combined together that makes up most of the world, so I guess you'll just have live with it. And just ignore me if I bother you so much.Combined together, what it represents is a bunch of people who believe wildly disparate shit but avoid those differences out of convenience when they want to make dishonest and fallacious arguments..as you've done.
