God. Nietzsche was right dude. Science has killed god while philosophy did that centuries ago.[hide]

This always reminds me of what the Mimamsa philosophy concludes about the existence of gods. In this dharmic philosophy, gods do not exist until you recite their names and they cease existing when you stop saying their names. Essentially this school of thought in Hinduism was entirely based upon ontological theories. Gods are just very useful things to humans no different then America and it's forefathers. We all know damn well that George Washington was a slave owning white cracker and not this shining beacon of morality. But we deluded ourselves into thinking otherwise because it gives us hope and something to look up to. I fully understand why people would want an all powerful and all good god but I on the other hand have no need for it beyond what I can imitate or perceive.

Sorry dude, I just really love philosophy . Science is overrated. Philosophy is where it is at!

So which god character did you kill off? There are thousands of the critters.
Pretty much all of them except for a Deistic god. I really wanna refute that thoroughly but it is fucking hard. It is such a vague notion of a god that it makes it scientifically hard to disprove and is in the same league an pantheism.
Gotta stab both those forms of theism with the Dagger of Skepticism.
