The question that makes fundies hostile

[Esquilax]

Your religion - the no God hypothesis - is like looking at a temporary Christmas present under a temporary Christmas tree and thinking no one put it there, it just randomly appeared, there's no one to thank. No gratitude needed. Christmas presents are neither created nor destroyed. They have always been there. And it won't matter whether you open it or throw it in the trash can or ignore it.

I'll ignore the religion crack and the one about the "no god hypothesis," because I think even you're smart enough to recognize what's wrong with those and you put them in to be a shit stirrer, but to whom do I owe my thanks? I owe my thanks to the people who came before me, who worked hard to advance human civilization to the point that I could be born into it. I owe my thanks to the many alive today who share that civilization with me and work every day to make it a better place. I owe my thanks to my family and friends, whom I care about and enhance my life with theirs. I owe my thanks to those who will come after me, and it's my moral responsibility to make the world a little better than I entered it, for them.

The god that you can't even demonstrate exists isn't the thing that makes them all special and worthwhile. If they weren't created by space magic, their lives and works don't suddenly become invalidated. And if you actually, honestly think that they do, then your life is infinitely more hollow and joyless than mine, and I pity you for it.

Things end, Lion: that doesn't mean they're pointless. Their brevity is a part of what makes them precious. Maybe someday you'll grow up and realize that.
