That being said..I am completely certain that there's no god, so..no problem either way, eh?

Quote:I am actually imploring you to think of the only reasonable explanation, that there is only one world we observe and that it points to its manufacturer.
The reasonable explanation for the behavior of children is that some fact about children accounts for the behavior of children. Sure, we could look at their parents as their manufacturers, and it does seem to be the case that our parents have alot to do with what and whether we ascribe purpose to this or that, as well as the general shape of the fairies their children imagine. The earth, for it's part, points to a star that you might be familiar with as it's manufacturer. Should we explain childrens' tendency to ascribe purpose to natural objects as a product of the sun?
Tell me, is it common to believe these things that you've been sharing where you're from?
