How to be a strong atheist in a rather straightforward way
#3
RE: How to be a strong atheist in a rather straightforward way
That the mystical is necessarily mystical.

That there are things we can't literally know one way or anther, so we have faith and belief.

It reminds me of the "god wouldn't make a world so cold" argument. All the cold world, and the assumption of god presupposes is that it is necessary, part of the system. Not that it is impossible, but the we don't know why it is the way it is.

I struggle with why the supernatural can't be fully comprehended, but it doesn't make me discount it's reality as a conclusion. The mystery being mysterious may be a necessity that we don't understand yet...

That's my take on that quote.
