Anyone have any ideas on how to kill God? I was thinking a out it and I think for a lot of people “God” is just this undefined “thing” out there that they can attribute other things to.
Like imagine a caveman kid talking to their caveman parent and asking questions like “Why is there a day and a night? Why is sky blue? Why is dog died?”
And the caveman parent just makes something up.
When people don’t know the cause of something, they can create a cause out of their imagination.
God will always be lurking in the imaginations of stupid people, and we will always have stupid people on this planet.
For a while this scared me because I’m a stupid person with an imagination, so I knew the idea of “God” will stay with me till I die (since I can’t think about anything when I die).
So I think the only way to kill God is if everyone dies. But even then it’s a gamble because there’s a whole “if a tree falls in a forest?” aspect.
Anyone else have any ideas?
I’d be careful there. I’m guessing there are people who would call you stupid for the things you believe.
And there are plenty of very smart people who simply happen to be incorrect about their beliefs. Not even god belief things. Linus Pauling has insane beliefs about vitamin C being a panacea. Bobby Fischer believes antisemitic conspiracy theories.
Believing something silly doesn’t make you stupid, just wrong.
I called myself stupid in my own post, so I have no problem with other people reaching the same conclusion.
Believing something that is wrong can make people dangerous, and I think that’s cause for concern.
True, but that still does not make them stupid. As I said, very smart people believe things that are simply wrong.
I probably should’ve used “ignorant” or “uneducated” instead of “stupid”.
What I was trying to say is that as long as people continue to have imperfect knowledge of the universe there will always be room for speculation/imagination.
