  • Religious people believe God made Man.
    Atheists believe Man made God.
    Both are believers.

    • Yeah, atheists are religious. They believe that their god is the correct god, just as all the other religions do. Their god is simply no god. They insist that the being that made everything is nothing, while other religions insist that the being that made everything is their something.

      • Science doesn't believe everything is a fucking being.

        • Remove the word "being" from the sentence, and replace it with "thing", then. It still applies.

          • No it doesn't because you're still calling it a "god" and implying intention. We don't ask "why"; we ask "how". There's no "why" regarding the inanimate and arguably only the illusion of such regarding even humans if the universe turns out to be deterministic.

            • Just because you call it "not god" and imply lack of intention doesn't mean your beliefs are any less religious than anyone else's. Your religion does answer both the "why" and "how" of creation. Your relgion states: Why was everything created? No reason. How was everything created? Through a series of natural processes. Just as my religion states: Why was everything created? God wanted to create it. How was everything created? It was spoken into existance by God. Your religion is still a religion and it still answers why things were created.

              • Except it's factually straight up not. It also doesn't even ask "why" in the first place to have said "no reason". It's all about the facts and "how".

                What you fail to realize is that science isn't a belief system. It's just observation. The second it discovered your god to exist, your god's existence would be part of science. The same goes for proving any other religion to be true. It's a totally separate thing from religion. It's just what we've factually observed.

                By the way, mainstream science doesn't claim everything necessarily came from nothing. We assert that the Big Bang is the earliest event we have hard evidence of occuring. If the Big Bang sprang from nothing, a prior gravitational singularity in this universe, or another universe, we don't yet know for sure. We can speculate but we don't fill in blanks because, again, it's not a belief system; it's an observational system. If tomorrow we observe concrete evidence that a flying spaghetti monster created the universe, it'll be considered a scientific fact that it did. The same goes for your god.

                Science doesn't believe things; it only knows things or doesn't yet know them.

    • Yeah I don't believe we made God. There IS no god. Get that part through your skull.

      • What is meant is that atheists believe that humans made the idea of God, you pedant.

      • Lmao that’s not your ‘belief’ you’re just flat out wrong. Either a god/gods are real or humans created gods for whatever reason (be it for a meaning in life, control over others, whatever.) One had to come from the other. This is a cold take bro.
