I had a really nice post about this last year; it's on CD somewhere now. I guess I can just retype it.
Ahem.
- Granting that a deity may or may not exist:
- Then if a deity exists:
- Then if I believe in a deity:
- Then if I believe in the correct deity:
- Then if the deity wants me to believe in it:
- Then if the deity doesn't want me to believe in it:
- Then if the deity wants me to believe in a different deity:
- Then if I believe in the wrong deity:
- Then if the deity wants me to believe in it:
- Then if the deity doesn't want me to believe in it:
- Then if the deity wants me to believe in a different deity:
- Then if I believe in the correct other deity:
- Then if I believe in the wrong other deity:
- Then if I don't believe in a deity:
- Then if the deity wants me to believe in it:
- Then if the deity doesn't want me to believe in it:
- Then if the deity wants me to believe in a different deity:
- Then if a deity doesn't exist:
- Then if I believe in a deity:
- I waste a lot of time believing in fiction
- Then if I don't believe in a deity:
Which is why I don't bother with beliefs.
