atheism, philosophy and emotional immaturity

[Darkstar]

There is no real difference in the analogy. The analogy was to say, it's part of the human experience to believe in holiness, sacred, and supernatural, just like it is to believe in morals, free-will, identity.

In fact, holiness is subsect of praise. Easy to dismiss the praise you don't believe in.

The analogy is not weakened at all by that difference.

Perhaps I misunderstood your analogy. I agree that humans are sometimes inclined to believe in the supernatural, etc.

The point I was making was that, assuming free will exists, it is still a concept; there can be no physical proof of free will. God, on the other hand, could simply make an appearance and prove himself. I know that theists like to argue that god is non-physical, but he has physical effects (unless he never interacts with the world), and these effects should be scientifically verifiable (unless he is deliberately hiding).
