Benevolent Creator God?

[Astreja]

{A lifelong lack of religious belief, and zero belief in gods -- any gods} can't be a deciding factor, you're trying to argue from your personal experience -invalid argument.

Fuck off, Klorophyll. It's my own experience and it is 100% valid when talking about matters of my beliefs.

I told you more than once that a spirit world or a god is a non-emprical being by definition, an so to rule it out on the grounds of lack of empirical evidence is a category mistake.

I am under no obligation whatsoever to give the benefit of a doubt to unconvincing non-empirical assertions. None. Zero. "Category mistake" or not, it is ruled out in my worldview.

Vanishingly unlikely isn't equivalent to impossible, especially if we assume God exists.

I have never made the assumption that gods exist. That's your problem, not mine. I am living my life on the assumption that there are no gods and no afterlife and will not be modifying that position until and unless there is data that meets my evidentiary requirements. Why should I lower my standards?
