I'll say this slowly "I. do. not. believe. there. is. a. god. because. there. is. no. evidence"
I do not have a belief in god. It is non belief, disbelief, unbelief. It is NOT belief.
Therefore I cannot answer your question "what justifies that belief"
Why should I hold to evidentialism? Because it is the best way of understanding reality and finding out truth.
Evidence is something you can test, compare, back up a theory with, it can also be used to rule things out that were previously thought true.
Quote: you don't believe. But you have a belief--you hold to evidentialism. What justifies this belief in evidentialism? What's wrong with denying evidentialism?
And what is wrong with laughing like fuck at those that deny evidentialism?
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
