Opinion vs Belief
#10
RE: Opinion vs Belief
Do you guys believe there are no gods, hold the opinion there are no gods, or just plain old fashion know as much?
[/quote]

There is no evidence for god/gods this leads me to the conclusion that there is no god/gods.

This, in turn, leads me to the belief that there are no god/gods in the same way that I believe there is no elephant in my kitchen.

If for some reason I started finding large round poos and suspicious tracks on the floor I may have to re-evaluate my elephant in kitchen stance, until then I shall go on believeing there is no elephant in the kitchen.

My beliefs are based on evidence and observation not lies and fairy tales. (which is how I see all the religious texts I have knowledge of).

I will go further, I 'know' that the abrahamic god is so unlikely and such an obviously man made construct that I can 'know' with a reasonable level of confidence that it does not exist.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
