That's why I'm agnostic. Logically there is a "God" out there. Whether it's a benevolent entity that wishes good will for humanity or a entity that has unfathomable comprehension above us remains to be discussed. God is whatever was the first thing in exsistance or created existence in the first place. Why do we exist has been the golden question that every human since the dawn of thought has thought of at one point.
Exsistance is both subjective and fact, distinguishing the two is neigh impossible. Why is there a universe with things (matter) and not things (antimatter). Isnt it simpler for there to be nothing? Why is there something when nothing should, could or would exsist? Does that lead credence to the possibility we a created beings? If not literally (Adam and Eve) then at least from the first strains of atoms to be shat out by the big bang?
Deconstructing the entire essence of reality is going to take far, far longer than I'm going to live for. So im just crossing my fingers theres a reality that exists for me after I die.
Christianity did bring out the best of western thinking. It also brought out the worst but that was ironed out over the course of the last few centuries. If there isnt a God and I just cease to exist I just hope my kids will have a good time on this world like I have. Which should be the goal we all share. And no that does not mean I support throwing coal away and making everyone drive a Tesla. Just means the kids of the future will have to think their way out of the older generations mess. Which has been done for hundreds of generations so I'm not feeling bad about leaving this world behind.
IIN that I feel like religious people have a strong dislike for Atheists?
