Quote:You say (elsewhere) that you haven't considered Christianity (/religion) much at all yet you feel confident in asserting that 'God' is no different to the FSM?It doesn't matter since without evidence it would be irrational to pick an imaginary friend over countless others based on baseless assertions.
God is no different from Allah, Thor, Zeus, Odin, FSM, Santa, easter bunny, talking wardrobes or even the god Ra. To consider the christian god is also to consider every other imaginable character as well. It's called being open minded. Weigh up the evidence and see if they all point to the same conclusion. Point to the same imaginary friend. In which case there is no evidence and so nothing points to any particular character. Descriptions, definitions, characteristic and books change nothing. You can have as many definitions in your imaginary friend as you want but this doesn't make it more real.
The possibility of god being real is the same as that of any other imaginary being.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
