Dad links son's suicide to 'The God Delusion'

[Psalm 23]

You believe in a something without evidence = delusion

And so do you.

I refuse to believe in this being as there is 0 evidence = safe stance

You believe there is no God, but you don't have solid evidence to back up this claim. Instead you use "lack of evidence" theory, which as I have stated in previous threads, that arguement is flawed to the core. Isn't this becoming a contradiction?

I haven't read his book. I will agree with him however that religious beliefs are pretty delusional (in regards to God). I doubt Mr Dawkins is incinuating that the people who are atheist are logical and the people who are religious are illogical. He's just talkign about the specific belief being garbage (I assume).

He's assuming all religious people are nuts. He mentions the Christian Crusades and modern day al-Quida. He has to dig back 1,300 years in history to pin-point events on Christians.

They have one delusional belief. One. They don't realise it is delusional, they are probably logical human beings who think they are being logical and would probably trash the idea when presented with evidence and ideas.

I highly doubt a Christian doctor would denounce his faith so easily. Remember, these are the men who are responsible for science and medicine.

When we say "religious people are delusional", we only mean "delusional in regards to their belief in the supernatural". We aren't making any implications about the rest of their lives.

So, do you have solid 100% evidence that supernatural events that are taking place in the modern world are just images of a delusional mind?

For example, the blood running down the Virgin Mary's cheek on a cement statue? You don't believe these events are supernatural? What about the Virgin Mother who appeared before a crowd of 75,000 witnesses in 1914? Do you believe every single person witnessed a delusion of the mind all at once?
