One should note: god does not have to exist for there to be theists, nor must god not exist for there to be atheists.
Atheists exist because of theists.
The question, though, is not about whether God exists or not. I opened this thread in order to elucidate if believing in God has been beneficial for humanity. You know what the answer is to me.
This describes apatheism perfectly. “A god exists? Ok, now what?” If god is some vague, undefined, non material whatever that one cannot prove nor disprove, then “so what?” If god is the supreme omnipotent creator spirit of the universe who inspired a certain scripture, then prove it, and good luck with that. In the meantime, I will be an apatheist.
My thread (or string) is a call to reflection. The world doesn't need a "God", never needed it, and I'm refering to the God of religions. Two fkn centuries trying to impose a customized "God" and look at the shit that humanity still is.
The problem of humanity is not that people dont believe in a God. Most people in developed Asian countries don’t believe in a God but in principles and they are even better than the US that is a country full of hypocritical puritans.
I'm not here to convince anyone. If you believe in God that's not of my business, but please cut the shit already. We dont need religions, we need self awareness, knowing ourselves, recognize that we need a mind change.
