welcome to the forums good luck.
What Drich is trying to say is that we don't believe in things that have no evidence for them. You know like people do with most things except whatever faith they've been conned with since birth.
What Drich is trying to say is that everyone should believe what Drich says because he doesn't believe in Zeus and yet there is an equal amount of evidence for Zeus's existence as is for Drich's God and yet the only reason Drich's God "exists" is because Drich says he does.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
