The only dumb belief is to believe either side is dumb.
Quote from: Jakesie60 on March 31, 2013, 04:16:23 PMThe only dumb belief is to believe either side is dumb.no, sorry ksu_fansie. there is not evidence to support both sides of every argument. in fact, in most arguments one side is fairly clearly better supported than the other, and it is fair to consider people that choose to believe the less well supported side stupid,
how do you choose which side is fairly clearly better supported in this instance?

Very few people can examine the evidence for/against the existence of God without bias.

good possibility that i'm one of the dumb people, but in this instance i see no evidence to support either side. what now?
Sure, I think God probably did create everything. But God is gone.

It's a very lazy/blissfully unaware stance.Find me an atheist who reads books like "Case For Christ" or "Reason For God" or a theist who reads "The God Delusion" or "God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything" and I'll concede your point. Protip: it doesn't happen. They only read books that confirm what they believe. There are very few examples in which people read both sides to see which one makes the most sense.
