A Believer's Thoughts on Faith
RE: A Believer's Thoughts on Faith
(June 30, 2022 at 7:41 pm)rlp21858 Wrote: 1)what do you believe about God?
2)in short description, on what information did you base this conclusion?
3)and in what ways have you tested the information to make your conclusion final?

1) I believe that all gods are archetypes that humans use as placeholders whenever they encounter something they can't otherwise explain.

2) I've never experienced anything that pointed to a god as the only possible explanation, and am much more confident in the ability of the scientific method to explain mysterious phenomena.

3) Why would I bother testing my own non-belief?  How does one test a lack of evidence?  I feel no need to take it any further than that.  If a god exists and wants to make my acquaintance, it can make itself known to me in whatever way it feels is most appropriate - I'm not going to go looking for it, as I don't believe that there's anything to go looking for.
