The harm of religion is historically evident whereas the presence or absence of gods is not. Ultimately, the continued existence of religion is predicated on the indoctrination of children and suppression of rational thought. Therefore I am against religion but not necessarily against the idea of gods. For all we know gods are computer scientists and we are in their video game.

Why should we carve some kind of special exception for God's existence (let's face it, it's always the Christian one) when we don't do the same for Bigfoot or fairies

No one should realistically give a shit since none of the above are clearly not having any effect on the material world in any way

Other philosophy communities have only interpreted the world in various ways. The point, however, is to change it. [ x ]
