Do you wish there's a god?

[Angrboda]

Even the common claim of atheists here, that they desire truth, can only be true, if truth is something ultimately desirable. There has to be something that draws us to it, to provoke us to seek it. Or else you’re just seeking the feeling of truthiness than truth itself

I was recently discussing free will with several fellow philosophical types, and in response to my suggestion that free will does not exist for some reason, the organizer of my philosophy group said that many, compatibilists, I believe, argue that even if there is no free will, we should behave as if there is. I have responses to his point, but I thought an example of a truth which people would find undesirable is relevant here. The fact of the matter is that truth, depending upon what one values and what purposes one is committed to achieving, may have both positives and negatives with respect to those values and purposes, and the negatives may outweigh the positives. You seem to be arguing that truth being desirable is an objective truth, but since desire itself is subjective, the desirability of truths themselves are also subjective. That may not have been what you sought to establish, but it seems rather germane.

If you doubt that truth has intrinsic aesthetic quality about it, then you should also doubt that truth is intrinsic useful. Your desire are for what conscience to and useful, not necessarily truthful.

I'm sorry, is that English, or have you inadvertently lapsed into glossolalia?
