Quote:Reason 1. God is an unverifiable idea:
It is not just that. When you combine that rightful statement to the entirety of data of claims in human history about gods and the super natural, the evidence is that we make them up, not because they are real, but because they are a placebo crutch in the form of our own personal desires of want of protection and continuance. It is our anthropomorphic refusal to face our finite existence.
But beyond that when one talks about the omni claims of the god claim, it is without the scientific objections, which are valid, it becomes even a moral bankrupt idea by itself. I have yet to see one good refutation to the objection to a god claim brought up in antiquity by Epicurus.
The blunt fact is that "all this" is not the cause of a thinking being. It is merely no different than the seasons changing and the gravity that keeps the earth falling around the sun. It is a foreign concept to the believer that life is emergent property, not of cognition with magical powers, but one of random and changing conditions in a non cognitive universe.
