I asked a Q about God because I want Him to exist but I鈥檓 not sure. This guy started messaging me about it and he seemed really wise. When I politely laid down a contradiction to something he said, he insisted that I was lying about wanting to believe, and that I actually don鈥檛 want God to exist. 馃檮 Like he can tell from ONE conversation.
Yeah that sort of thing happens a lot because it's part of their faith that if you seek him then you will find him...so if you haven't found god then you must not have earnestly tried.
I'm happy to agree to disagree on whether god exists. But I refuse to agree to disagree when someone else is dictating to me what [i]i'm [/i]thinking or why [i]i[/i] believe something.
In fairness, you can believe in something that isn't true through the desire to. People do it all the time. It's why people have such shit memories. Also why they cling to unscientific nonsense like conspiracies.
My advice to you would be to ignore the god element of religion and focus on the actual point to it.
Don't be so arrogant as to dictate to [i]me [/i]what [i]i[/i] believe and why. I'd love to believe in god for a number of reasons but i can't choose to believe something i don't believe.
