A case for positive atheism
#26
RE: A case for positive atheism
By tracing the history of religious beliefs throughout history as far back as we can go we see the same pattern over and over again. Religion is obviously an invention of man there is no real way to dispute this, most cultures have their own religious beliefs and their own individual deities. Religious beliefs are simply mans quest to find answers to his existence and purpose for that existence.

I too agree that there is no way you can either prove nor disprove the existence of God but by making such ridiculous arguments more ambiguous by adding all sorts of definitions and terms to try to describe god does nothing but confuse the issue even more. That is why I do not get pulled into senseless arguments for or against the existence of god or gods whatsoever, especially when it comes to using philosophy as a means to try to uncover the so called "mystery of gods". Philosophy is useless in the field of theology because you are trying to argue about the nature of God, his or its attributes which outside of revelation are all unknowns.

Because I cannot prove the non existence of God does not make my position illogical, it just makes it more likely. Outside of revelation be it from ancient texts all claiming to be inspired by said gods or clothed in mythology there is nor never has been any evidence for his existence. Therefore philosophical arguments for or against God or gods existence or non existence is nothing more than chasing your tail by playing stupid games of semantics. Belief in God is a matter of faith and nothing more, either you believe without objective evidence that he exists (theist) or you don't (atheist) or you don't but leave open the possibility that he does (agnostic) its that simple. Not to mention that any evidence is subject to the individuals interpretation of that evidence. Anything else is nothing more than philosophical drivel.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
