So-called bad reasons lol. I don't think there's ANY good reasons. They're all bad. Sorry theists. That's what I think.
Basically I am going to think of reasons to believe in God here. Because I don't think there are really any good reasons. I'll try and list particularly repugnant ones because of the problems they cause. And because of how amusing they are. And how pathetic.
Lets see just how many we can all get through. I'll start with 3, any of us can give any.
1. "Because it says in my holy book that God exists. God says it himself. You gotta believe God about his own existence."
2. "Because you cannot disprove God. And I wouldn't want to live in a universe without God anyway."
3. Pascals Wager.
And yes any believers are more than welcome to give what they think are their own good reasons. Or even defend any ones that I give. Anyone's welcome to give what they think are good reasons. Because I think they are all bad. Because I have never ever ever heard a - or heard OF a - good one.
