God isn’t real. No deities exist. Stop being delusional.

Also, most people are nearly athiests.

Christians deny the existence of Zeus, Ra, Mars, Shiva, Odin, Thor, Kali, Horus, Tew, Huitzilopochtli, Pele, Erra… Of all the gods and goddesses that people have ever said exist, Christians don’t believe in any of them other than their one god. Even Hindus, who have a pantheon with multiple gods, generally don’t believe in the gods of other religions.

I really am beginning to suspect the great filter that remains ahead of us is “listen to imaginary friends instead of dealing with the real people”.

Because if we can’t get that one right, the odds of any of the others - climate change for example - being overcome is basically NIL.

I don’t know that there aren’t any deities, but if there were, they owe us all some very large apologies, that I am simply not going to accept.

Yes! This is it, so let’s all work together to make it a good one for each other.

It’s pretty obvious that people created every form of God we’ve conceived of, spoke of, or written about since the dawn of humanity.

The motivations are even clear. And God isn’t a semi-hairless primate. Why would he be? What of God’s infinite duties and abilities would be made easier or more possible by being similar to a semi-hairless primate, other than to be easily thought up by a semi-hairless primate?

the idea is that god created semi-hairless primates intentionally to look similar to him. IDK how that is supposed to fit in with our knowledge of natural history, it’s weird to me that people who understand evolution can still think “well some of this is obviously wrong, but perhaps these completely unprovable parts (that seem to rely on the other parts) are right?”
