Can you tell me why you don;t find it intellectually satisfying?

@Pikachu I do not think it is at all the case of the one who asked the original question.

But, for some people, "intellectually satisfying" should be traduced for "what, with little effort, confirms my common sense a priori believes.

The ones for whom is said:
"For each complex problem, there always is a cheap, easy to understand, simple [b]wrong[/b] answer"

Sure. But are we talking about atheism or theism there?
CharlieZ · 70-79, M
@Pikachu Personally, neither of both.

What I find "cheap, easy to understand, simple, wrong" is the pretension to find:

- An intellectual frame to validate or refute theism and / or atheism.

- An theological explanation for the causal, material Universe.
