Yeah though that doesn't make god any less essential for many humans, just like a parent is essential for a child.
You know God damn good and well that gods are a certain genders, not sex, through all traditions both male and female and some are considered gender fluid or even binary don't act like Christians are the only ones that fucking do it.
There's very strong scientific and philosophical arguments to the existence (or necessity) of god.
Atheism: "simply a lack of belief"
You don't mention Zeus because you don't give a s*** about Zeus or any other tradition that isn't Christian. That's all atheists care about are Christians. Their goal is to go after the biggest group of theists first and then eventually they'll work their way down till there's none left. Fact is none of you care about any of this s*** your spouting off about all you care about is that theists figure out gods don't exist and they f****** forget about them so you don't have to be around theists anymore.
You're clearly not an agnostic atheist to have the hubris to say God is "imaginary" (which you cant prove).
Self consistency is irrelevant if these laws can (in theory) fall apart at any minute. That's the problem of induction, imagine Descartes's evil demon tricking your eyes into seeing your shoelaces as tied through your perception of phenomena but in the noumenon you're actually untying them.
There's very strong scientific and philosophical arguments to the existence (or necessity) of god.
If you think god (at least an infinite concept of god) has "blank spots" you would be incorrect. Its simply by definition impossible to assert or deny in any sort of "blank spot".
3. God created it (either from nothing or himself).
"functionally indistinguishable from imaginary"You dont know that.
you dont know when you tie your shoelaces you're actually tying them within noumenon and not just phenomena.
I get the sense this is an appeal to vagueness. Which empirical beliefs are necessary for day to day functioning? I feel like it exists in a manner of degrees. Some people are fine not believing in free will, some people even seem fine being unsure of what will happen tomorrow. In this same sense some are fine not being religious or fine with god not existing, others not so much!
If you then hold belief in you being able to actually tie your shoe laces based on pragmatism, there then should be no push back against the idea of god from atheists either.
But you actually cant if Kant is right and they're simply phenomena
There's many benefits to a believe in a appropriate god which maximises personal virtue.
A belief in God can foster a sense of belonging in the universe (which many nihilists miss out on). It can give purpose to ones actions, most philosophers are actually moral realists, not because its more likely than moral relativism but simply because its good to believe some morals are objective just so we can feel like our actions matter to something.
I don't know. Just like you dont know when you tie your shoelaces you're actually tying them within noumenon and not just phenomena. Can you show me how you can know you actually tie your shoelaces beyond simple imagination?
we should make sure we're all following the right god(s) and not one of those false ones
