What is wrong with theistic beliefs?
#7
RE: What is wrong with theistic beliefs?
I voted “something else” because I don’t believe it’s a delusion, illusion, or craziness that makes people so sure God exists. I believe indoctrination at a young age, saturization of superstitious dogma in the culture, and other such reasons make more sense to me. You can’t honestly claim that every theist is delusional or crazy, under some mass hypnosis, right? These illogical thoughts are in their brain early, very difficult to change psychologically, and very difficult to fully disprove. Spirituality is a very human thing to have, as humans always seek answers beyond human understanding. It doesn’t help that it’s impossible to fully disprove. The Christian God can be disproved relatively easily, but it’s surprisingly difficult to convince a theist with these proofs. I would argue that theists suffer from a psychological trauma, as opposed to delusion, as there is always a sense of fear and anxiety when told to part with religion for logical reasons. I believe MOST theists are simply victims of tradition, heritage, and indoctrination from an early age.
