And if you're deluded enough, you become even more deluded.
It's because of the very real "human imagination" that atheists ask theists for some proof of their divine experiences... and, when these provide only some mental drivel, they're promptly dismissed as delusions.
Do not assume that we are not open to the subject, just because we jump to the deluded conclusion. It's just that no theist has provided any evidence that couldn't be generated by their minds.
And it becomes frustrating to have to point out how this kind of theistic argument is not valid, every time.
We are not interested in words... "words are wind". We are interested in evidence so we can judge it... each with their own bias, of course... but that's how the world moves on.
Do you consider the proposition "Human beings consider what it means to be a good person the most important question in life" to be "just words"? If something is not a biology textbook that tells you to be a doctor and make $200,000, do you think it is worthless?
Quote:Concerning martyrs, why would anyone have to "die for god"?
Isn't a god defined as immortal? Let him "die" and come back for himself.
People who sacrifice themselves for an entity which only manifests itself in people's minds... are probably not required on this Earth
Because God does not remove all the sin from the world until God comes back in the next age, meaning the evil in the world has a political manifestation and that is threatening to Christians.
Do you realize that if God dealt with all the evil in the world, necessarily the age would cease to be? Why are you so presumptuous to think that you can tell God when God should end the world.
