No Reason To Worship

RE: No Reason To Worship
[Edited] It does not surprise me how we non-believers are always wrong. We just cannot understand for some reason. We always make assertions it seems.

No, i called you stupid directly for suggesting i take arguments from authority seriously based on the sole premise of a majority conclusion, and my view is demographically unpopular, but so what, i don't care for authority like i said.

And my 'assertion' what simply that there is merit to a psychological analysis for God, which there is, and from any psychological view point God is greatly disturbed to say the least.

RE: No Reason To Worship
In my demographic, and I believe that to be the demographic of reason & not lack of choice, your argument is actually popular. I did not imply majority ("Shared by many"), you did :"shared by most". So it was you that added the "stupid" statement.

There can be a psychological analysis for God does not imply merit. Were it able to successfully challenge the logic it would be true. I know of no such successful challenge.

Indeed I agree with you.

For penance, and for believing in somethinng that will make them happy.

I wouldn' go that far. But say for instance you adored a girl who was beautiful radiant fair and sexy, would you worship the ground she walks on?

I'm simply saying that I am yet to know of one example of where a Christian has properly explained away the horror in the Bible.
