So I take it when you accuse others like myself, of a holding a beliefs that imaginary you have no evidence to support this.
Religion developed in the mind of man, came about by needing the question of his origin answered, and ever since the nature of those imaginative beliefs has been worshiped by the ignorant masses seeking their opiates.
The answers I provided are anthropologically sound and can be discovered by learning the history of religion.
When I encounter a theist, I understand that s/he prefers the delusion that religious faith provides.
So your belief that God doesn’t exist, is imaginary, isn’t based on no evidence, but the sort evidence/support you indicated above.
In fact their all sorts of positive claims like I prefer delusions over truth, the origins and nature of religious beliefs, etc...
In my view atheists like yourself believe things like this, because the sort of validation it provides, very few atheists ever seem willing to even explore these conclusions, whether they’re actually true or not. Whether they posses some clarity in perspective that I lack.
It also seems strange to say that im delusional, rather than just mistaken. So if be curious what distinguishes it? I mean is it delusional to believe that reality posses intrinsic purpose?
