Y’all won, I’m an atheist.
I had a few years there where I identified as religious, and really tried to take on the best arguments I could find. It all circles back to my fear of death– I’m not a big fan of dying!
But at this point it just seems like more trouble than it’s worth, and having really had a solid go at it, I’m going back to my natural disposition of non-belief.
I do think it is a disposition. Some people have this instinct that there’s a divine order. There are probably plenty of people who think atheists have the better arguments, but can’t shake the feeling that there is a God.
I even think there are good reasons to believe in God, I don’t think religious people are stupid. It’s just not my thing, and I doubt it ever will be.
Note: I also think that in a sober analysis the arguments against the existence of God are stronger than the arguments for the existence of God.
