Subject: RE: BS: One compelling reason for a god?
Your arguements against religion are of the "Straw Man" variety, and refute little to nothing of what "believers" believe. First, what IS a straw man argument? I've heard the phrase...
And rational arguments are all I have. They cannot refute faith which, by definition, is not rational. What I believe I can do is refute the idea that it makes SENSE to believe in the supernatural.
And I just love Tom Lehrer.
According to census data, the world population is:
About 33% christian About 25% non-theists of various ilk, including but not limited to atheists About 18% moslem About 13% Hindu About 10% what they call "folk religions" (devout Mudcatters?) And about 1%Other, including less than .5% jewish.
In the US alone there are about 10:1 atheists/people of no religion to jews. Why aren't we a more viable political force?
