Sam Harris: Why Religion might Destroy our Civilization

[@jonnymercer3689]

As a non-religious person I have been asked "what do you have to live for if there you don't believe in the after life?" My response is "I have even more to live for as time on Earth is more precious."

[@Imnot-fj1yx]

[@Jayluvlee87]

That is a perfect answer 👏🏻👌

[@Algolxxxxxx]

"more precious" but ultimately without meaning. The only way you can get out of this is to attack religion and say it's self-deception. To say it's just as ultimately meaningless. The point is to defend atheism you need to attack religion because atheism itself has no meaning to life and can never have any meaning. Your argument needs to focus on religion instead of vacuous atheism which by default is empty and can never be anything more.

The universe is an incomprehensibly vast expanse, comprising approximately 400 billion galaxies spread across 93 billion light-years. Within our own Milky Way galaxy, there exist 100 billion stars, and our solar system is home to eight planets orbiting the Sun, which is considered a medium-sized star. Current estimates suggest there are roughly 10 septillion planets in the universe. The Drake equation, a mathematical model used to estimate the likelihood of extraterrestrial life, suggests that within our Milky Way galaxy alone, there could be around 40 billion planets capable of supporting life. But leave it to the creationists (especially christians) to indoctrinate the gullible that god created this vast Universe, chose a rock in a middle of nowhere and created men and women starting with Adam and Eve. The sole purpose of god’s vast creation you ask? The whole purpose of this vast creation is so that omnipotent god can have a personal relationship with the humans having average Intelligent Quotient of 95 and are two chromosomes away from our relatives on the evolutionary tree. Humans were created with the purpose that we can pray to him, beg for his affection, love him, confess our sins, and ask for forgiveness for whatever sin god created until the day we die. Some of the lucky ones get to spend eternity praying to the megalomaniac in heaven while he burns the rest for eternity however asserting he loves them very very much. If the creationist’s reasoning for the existence of the vast entire universe sounds imprudent, then it is just that…. foolish.

Just gullibility is not enough, you need active brainwashing and indoctrination during childhood AND preventing access to proper education to keep religion alive. If we look at data of US population, over 50 % of young people is not interested in the church despite highly religious society especially in southern states (bible belt) because of public schools and scientific classes. Sadly homeschooling and religious schools (both elementary and high) are still thing so there are still about 30 % od creationists in the US. In Europe, the situation is completely different.

I read a psych textbook once with a section on positive psychology. From what I remember, religion, particularly being active in a religious community, is associated with people living longer and rating themselves as having higher wellbeing. Now, this is from memory, so I could have misrepresented the finer points. But ever since, I wonder if this benefit is mostly because religious people (I'll use Christians as an example because they are familiar to me) believe they have a personal relationship with someone who loves them unconditionally, or is the effect from purpose and service and community? If it is the latter, perhaps the religious/congregational humanism movement should be more heavily invested in so non-believers can have these same benefits.

[@supernaturalabilitiessiddh8027]

The concept of the last days in both Islam and Christianity is dangerous and potentially destructive to humanity. In Christianity, believers anticipate the return of Jesus (a mythical Jewish man), while in Islam, believers anticipate the physical entry of Allah (same copied concept of Christianity). This anticipation is rooted in the belief that salvation will be granted to them, rescuing them from a supposed burning furnace akin to the gas chambers of Hitler, which Jesus is said to have built during the 1st century in Israel. Essentially, Jesus was believed to be saving a few from his own impending punishment. I can prove that the author of the Quran simply borrowed his beliefs from the Mishnah, New Testament Apocrypha, and the Talmud and expressed them poetically. They are not revelations from God. Except for a few verses, there is hardly any truth in the Quran, Hadith, or the Bible.

Who’s causing most of the world’s problems right now?

[@kevinx7015]

If the atheist is one who has entertained with the conclusion of there being a God and finding that conclusion ridiculous, well then what led that atheist to such a conclusion? If what led that atheist to such a conclusion was based not on any actual evidence that disproves the existence of even a God who is believed to withhold evidence of their divinity on purpose, because after all, we are not talking about whether a supposed hidden treasure hidden in the Caribbean Sea, we are talking about a sentient being, who can make their own decisions on what to reveal and what not to reveal. To just look at a lack of evidence for the existence of a certain hidden treasure seems reasonable to be doubtful that such a treasure exists because it’s unreasonable to assume that a treasure has sentient intelligence and can make a decision as to whether or not that treasure wants to reveal itself. However, when it comes to determining whether it’s reasonably doubtful for the existence of a God, by merely looking at the lack of evidence for that God, just the mere lack of evidence is not a reasonable outlook because it’s believed that a God is capable of making up its own mind, so it’s possible that the lack of evidence for that God could be due to divine willful intent to withhold that evidence. Well anyhoo, the main point is when the atheist finds the existence of a God to be ridiculous, is that conclusion based on actual evidence that establishes fact, or is that conclusion based on just an assumption without supporting evidence, such as based on a lack of evidence for a God, it means that that God doesn’t exist. And if it’s the latter, then that conclusion is a conclusion based on BELIEF. That’s because: Fact = evidence Belief = no evidence

[@enlacostaizquierda]

You're failing to comprehend the Null Hypothesis. Or do you believe in leprechauns? What evidence do you have to prove they don't exist? You can't simply assert something like a god exists and then claim not finding evidence of that god's existence is a requirement.

[@kevinx7015]

@@enlacostaizquierda What alternative is there when there is no evidence FOR AND no evidence AGAINST a God? Well, if you are only going to look at one aspect in regards to no evidence, well then since there is no evidence supporting the conclusion that there is no God then then it’s logical to accept the alternative that there must be a God, So what is your point regarding the Null Hypothesis?

[@majmage]

1. You're wrong about belief. It's defined as, _"an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists."_ So whether you have evidence or not, if you acccept an idea is true, it's a belief. 2. Truth is the set of facts about reality, so the only way for our beliefs to match it is by detections of reality (we call that "evidence"). 3. We don't have evidence of a god. So we don't know one exists. Well when we don't know something, the only rational position is non-belief. On the topic of gods, _that's atheism._ Non-belief or disbelief in any god. 4. So do you see how sentience really has nothing to do with it? For us to know something takes evidence (whether that thing is sentient or not), and so if we don't have evidence of gods or your treasure, then we don't know they exist. If truth is the goal to our beliefs, then we must not believe things are true unless we have good reason (unless we have evidence). 5. The existence of God (specifically capital-G, the name of the Christian god) is ridiculous, because the attributes Christians say that god has (all-knowing, all-powerful, all-good, caused everything, and interested in our belief/worship) _contradict reality._ We live in a reality where we don't have reasonable evidence of God, yet if a god existed with those attributes, we'd clearly have evidence. So due to that problem (called Divine Hiddenness) and another problem (the Problem of Evil), we know God in particular doesn't exist. This doesn't rule out other gods. But my earlier point remains true for all those other gods: knowing requires evidence, which we lack, so we don't know any gods exist at all. So we shouldn't believe.
