(March 2, 2014 at 1:50 pm)Mr. Moncrieff Wrote: Actually, without explicit reference, I proposed the argument of parsimony (using Occam's razor) which largely contends that since natural theories adequately explain the development of religion and belief in God's, both the claim of existence and the actual existence of such supernatural agents is superfluous and may be dismissed unless otherwise proven to be required to explain the phenomenon.
I dismiss those claims as being superfluous. That doesn't remove meaning from my life.
God is superfluous if you're looking for a God that "explains" things, we can all exist not accepting God, in that sense God can be superfluous, that is missing the entire message.
