You're viewing a single thread.
Asking a bunch of non-religious people is nothing but a circle jerk.
People believe in religion for a variety of reasons. I believe in what I believe in because I've had personal experiences, and because it gives me a way to be better than I am.
Asking a religious person won't get you to the truth though.
Why do you believe?
Because God is real!
How do you know this?
I just feel it in my heart!
Right, but can you prove that he exists
I don't need to prove it I have faith and know that he exists!
Ok, so you admit you don't have any proof it's just faith?
No I have proof!
What is it?
You can't see it because you haven't opened your heart to the lord!
So you don't have proof?
I do!
What is it?
You need to have faith!
Right, but do you have anything that can be objectively verified without faith?
Sure! In the Bible it says...
I'm gonna stop you right there, I don't believe anything in the Bible you can't use an anonymous book to prove your supernatural claims.
Clearly you are just a sinner that doesn't want the love of God!
That's an obvious strawman, my dude.
It's literally their arguments in a nutshell. It's either Faith or My book says. They can't have anything else otherwise they'd have produced it over the past 2000 years.
It's the same people believing in Ghosts. You're not going to find some Ghost believer Einstein that'll blow your mind with his reasoning on why he believes in ghosts...
It’s literally their arguments in a nutshell
Way to go, reducing the worldview of literally every religious person on the planet that is or has ever been alive.
It's simply a strawman. Some people might have argued like youdo, but those are simply buffoons and/or assholes.
