Illogical anti-religion statements (1) childhood indoctrination, (2) wishful thinking (fear of death) and (3) cognitive dissonance?

"If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him." - Voltaire.

What do you think of this? To me, it says that Human Nature is naturally tending towards an answer. We certainly have many questions:

"Why are we here?"

"What is the meaning of life?"

"Why do bad things happen to good people?"

If there is no apparent answer, Humans invent a reason. This is to make sense of the world. In the easiest of terms, the answer people flock to is 'There's a big ol' dude in the sky with a beard who's looking after all of us."

It's easy. It's comforting. It takes away any personal responsibility in our current life. It's the opiate of the masses.

"It's just God's plan"

(1) Bullshit.. or maybe a lie.

(2) More bullshit or perhaps a bigger lie.

(3) Most bullshit...Most dishonest.

Face it.... There is no God.

Cognitive dissonance is very real in every intelligent believer's mind.

An internal fight between logic and fantasy.

How do you reconcile all those lies with your god thingy? It always amazes me that the religious need to lie so much, and are so willing to lie so much to sell what even they know is untrue. So scared of reality and of death that you try to lie them away.

That never did work, and it won't work again. Why openly choose to be such a loser?

1 and 3 most likely. People want love and atheism cannot provide that. In fact it provides nothing but meanness. Plus you'd have to have to be truly out of your mind to be an atheist. Don't you want to live??

Wow get over yourself you uneducated, worthless religious nut job

Reality shows you to be a liar.

Wow, do you lie about everything in your life?

The lies are strong in this one.

what is the question
