Default Re: Why should God be any more believable than the Tooth Fairy?

The only reason that God exists in some people's minds is because they can't handle the fact that some things are presently unexplainable

You are really Trolling here then aren't you? You are not here to listen and discuss but to Proclaim the above messgage. Regardless of responses to it you are going to keep repeating it like propaganda.

There's no way for you to know that what you are saying is Fact. Your position presumes God does not Exist. If he did exist and people had an inner experience of connection to him, you would still say the same thing. You are just proslytizing the position of a Strong Atheit.

No, I was making a legitimate comparison to the tooth fairy, which kids believe in because they can't handle (or so their parents think) losing teeth, so some adults invented the tooth fairy as an explanation (and of course, giving the kid MONEY for their tooth is probably the real source of comfort nowadays, not the tooth fairy). SImilarly, adults can't handle not knowing stuff, so they write "God" into all the blank parts of the script so that everything "makes sense" but they are really selling themselves short with this pseudounderstanding. This isn't propoganda, or trolling, or anything pernicious like you suggest. It's just a thread in the Philosophy forum intended to promote discussion, which I think ti has succeeded quite well at.
