I see how you went through Catechism, did that help you or hurt you more with your relationship or understanding of God?
Good morning Abaddon,
I'm sorry, but I don't think this is the appropriate thread to answer such a question.
Although I would love to hear why you do not believe in the concept of a God. If you would be so kind as to share your story it would be greatly appreciated!
Why isn't it an appropriate question?
Abaddon is merely trying to demonstrate why your logic is bad. What you are doing is selection bias. There are a myriad of god claims you rightfully reject. Try thinking about why you reject Zeus and not the one you believe to be true.
Abaddon is merely saying you reject Zeus for the same reason Abaddon rejects the one you believe in. The only difference between a theist and an atheist is that we reject one more god claim than you do.
I'm a guess that it's because the question of why you hate God was a different thread.
To be pedantic I believe in the concept of God, I just don't believe the concept is correct or refers to anything outside of the human mind. I suppose a major turning point was taking classes on world religions and logical fallacies in the same semester (in my mid thirties). Hilarity ensued.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
