But he started this thread saying basically atheists are stupid for not seeing what is obvious to the masses. First of all, what a piss poor argument. Not exactly a good argument for why we should believe in god. The masses once thought the earth was flat because to them it was obvious.
The fact that it's easy for the masses to swallow the idea that a creator exists causes me concern. I hate it that Paul went to Greece and so many Greeks bought that story.
Basically what jackoff is saying is that believing in god is easy for most people because it makes them comfortable. People don't like not knowing the answers so of course "must be god" comes very easy to a lot of people. I think back to my Greek Grandmother with a 3rd grade education. She was very religious. I doubt she questioned it even for a second.
My buddy and I got into an argument about if there is a god and I learned something very interesting about theists. You know how they suggest we are unhappy? Actually it's the other way around. My buddy basically admitted that if he believed there was no heaven he would be very disappointed and depressed. Because as he sees it, "this life sucks" He said, "if this is all there was I'd kill myself". So heaven is for people who aren't completely happy here and now.
I don't think there is anything after this but that doesn't make me want to kill myself.
