Strong Atheism

[Whateverist]

I just think there are better things to do than pursue an argument against the existence of gods. Such beliefs are sufficiently nonsense to prevent your actually succeeding. But belief in gods is sufficiently prevalent to make you wonder why. In wondering why I do not for an instant suppose it is at all likely that a literal god exists. It clearly has more to do with how we're wired. So then some will assume it is merely a mistake carried out from a time before we knew better. I'm not so sure that is true. Until I understand the positive benefit which god belief provides I'm not on board for snuffing it out. I do think helping people to put it in some sort of perspective is worthwhile. It is the fundamentalists who cause the most trouble. I'd rather reform belief than snuff it out.
