Argument against atheism

[Perhaps]

With all of this talk of objective or subjective existence, it's just entirely too much to ask for evidence of either isn't it? Much easier to let words fall out of our heads. I have no problem with philosophy at all, until we get to the point of religious philosophy, at which point shit seems to just fly off the track. Very frustrating. It all seems to revolve around our opinions and thoughts of a concept that we have created and called god and then projected onto the cosmos. So much time and effort spent on a manufactured "problem". It's like creating a puzzle with the intention of it being unsolvable, and then wondering why we cannot solve the puzzle, ignoring that there was never a solution in the first place, and that this was intentional. Religion and god was once very much about explaining things, now it's about making things inexplicable to salvage the idea and save it from ourselves. It's the nuclear energy of thought, so filled with promise and potential for good, but strapped onto a weapon and pointed at those who disagree with us instead.

I understand your frustration. I'll stop, as I don't wish to pursue a discussion which is circular. Much of philosophy is self taught and self reflected. Enlightenment isn't something which can be understood by anyone other than the self. I don't like bringing it up in a scientific context because it does not subject itself to evidence or proof - simply thought.

Your last sentences are an accurate description of dogmatic philosophy. Like I said, philosophy should be about the self, aimed at humility and enlightenment, not at those who choose to think differently.
