Cryptids

[Statler Waldorf]

---

A lot like the question regarding the existance of a god, a more important question would be: how is this information suitible, applicable, and beneficial?

It is my wager that if we assume god and cryptids to exist, without exposure or evidence, what does that mean in the end? Nothing, essentially nothing.

My belief in god 10 months ago means just the same amount of relevancy then as it does now in my disbelief: zero.

The beleif does not cure cancer, solve world hunger, or lessen/ end human suffering. So what use does a belief have if it does not inspire progression? Nothing. Nothing at all. And I have not experienced anything in my life that would make me place any real importance in such questions.

But on the subject of extraterrestrial life, I stand with Neil deGrasse Tyson who said something which goes something like: there is only one truth to two possoblities and either possibility is equally as frightening as the other, either we are alone in this universe, or we are not.

Are you saying that it is better to believe something is true that is actually false as long as it is beneficial than to believe something is true that is actually true that may not be beneficial? I do not accept your premise that belief in god has no pragmatic value but for the sake of argument I’ll play along.
