You seem to think you have.Odd, isn’t it, that true Biblical scholars, many of who were true believers at one time, many of who went through divinity schools and who possess their PhDs in a variety of Old Testament, New Testament, Early Christianity studies are atheists.
And they only came to their conclusions based on years of intense study. Hardly a group that one would classify as idiots.
That is in contrast to those who were indoctrinated into whatever religious dogma they were born into from the time they were old enough to walk.
Me? I’ll take study and reflection over dogma indoctrination every time.
You haven't, Domer. You are merely making a blind guess...and insisting it is the result of study and reflection.
If you truly were doing the intellectual thing, you would come up with the truth: I do not know the true nature of the REALITY of existence.
In some form...THAT is where intellectualism would lead you on this question.
I do not know if there are no gods...or if there is at least one God...and I do not know if it is more likely that that there are none or if there is at least one. All I can do is guess...and then, if I abandon the reasonable stance, I will guess one is correct...and insist that is the reasonable position to take.
