I think God has certainly not been disproved. And I don't think he can or ever will be disproved (absolutely 100%) but I think he's about as close to being disproved as possible. Not 0% chance of existence but basically 0 anyway. There almost certainly is no God.
Quote:Because no matter what they show me on how the universe was created. I can honestly look at them and say, "Prove God didn't make it happen." And quite seriously, the answer is bare and simple. They can't.Indeed. God cannot be proved OR disproved 100% as far as we know. But speaking about probability the chance that God exists is basically 0. About as close to zero as you can get. God almost certainly doesn't exist.
There is no reason TO believe in God. That's the reason NOT to believe in God. Belief is not a matter of policy. If you just want to believe whatever you like despite the fact you are almost certainly deluding yourself then be my guest. You go ahead actively believing in belief in your God.
Quote:In my honest opinion, I believe "Strong atheism" is nothing more than a mental disorder.If you think that then you should think that theism is DEFINITELY a mental disorder. In the fact its actually believing in myths that there are zero evidence of rather than just believing stuff is disproved 100% instead of believing it is disproved 99.99999999999% recurring on and on. God is almost certainly disproved. Not zero but scientifically speaking, basically zero.
And strong atheists often know and believe this anyway and they just classify themselves as "Strong", because the probability is so close to zero they say its zero anyway. And others really do believe God is disproved.
Quote:The well known Biologist Richard Dawkins (atheist) wrote the book entitled, "The God Delusion," and this man even admits that God cannot be disproved.Dawkins called it he God delusion because God is a delusion. In the sense that God is a delusion in the same sense ANY mental disorder is a delusion. When a psychotic person has hallucinations and hears 'voices' thats said to be a delusion. But its POSSIBLE that what the person sees is really there and really exists. But its still classified as a delusion. The same with God. Its POSSIBLE that God exists. But it should still be classified as a delusion because he almost certainly does NOT.
I think the Christian religion was set up so it's believers are in a win-win situation.
Believers merely think they are in a win-win situation. If its set up like that so what anyway? You admit its just set up and man made anyway. Its a delusion.
Its not really win-win because it might be win-lose or even lose-lose.
Almost certainly theists are wasting there life believing in myths. Atheists almost certainly are not because they don't believe in mythological delusional bullshit that also wastes their time and energy.
