Well, from an objectivist point of view to an agnostic: why do you (or why would an agnostic/athetist in general) want to know whether a deity exists or not? Why do you care? |
|
I have debated religion in other threads, so no need here. I neither expect nor intend to sway anyone away from their religion in this thread (no promises for elsewhere, though!). |

No. |

Thanks for the questions. |

Then what do you say to an objectivist point of view on deities? |
|
Hey skysaw, |
|
Do you feel the world would be better off if they were atheists? |
|
I hope I am reading your question correctly... please correct me if I am not. |

There are certain religious figures and religious movements which at times anger me quite a bit. It can also be frustrating to try to have a logical conversation about faith when faith is the antithesis of logic. However, I do believe that the vast majority of religious people believe what they do with the very best of intentions. I believe that most religious texts have at their core a good set of lessons in morality. |

Yes, but do you not gather that a deity, a god, can very well not be an ultimate being? That is, be part of this world, not aware of ultimate existence. Not having ultimate power, or ultimate knowledge, just a deity over the given world, not ultimately powerful or knowledgable. |

Thanks for the question. I assume you mean if everyone were atheist? |

Oh, well, nevermind then. No need to go off-topic. I'm just curious as to how theists and atheists, caring about a supreme being, don't think further and to ultimate existence as a whole. Though, aye, a different conversation all together. Thanks for the answers. |

Hey Skysaw |

As I mentioned, I do think people take positive things from religion, so obviously whatever that is would be lost. Nonetheless, I stand by my reasoning. Clash of religions can be very unfriendly, as history has shown us. |

Do you think you can disprove God? |
