Sounds like Catholicism with extra steps...
- goldenkey 8y agoThe reason why most atheists hate the term God is mostly because they don't understand the nomenclature like Godhead and the trinity. Even Bertrand Russell believed in God, in the same sense as this "rootkit of reality." We have a reality - unless you deny it is running on something, even itself, then an object with the same characteristic of what is commonly referred to as God, is a consequence.
- krapp 8y agoMost atheists don't hate the term God, nor do they hate God. It would be irrational to hate something that you don't even believe exists. >We have a reality - unless you deny it is running on something, even itself, then an object with the same characteristic of what is commonly referred to as God, is a consequence. That's a tautology: "reality exists, therefore God exists, given some arbitrary definition of God for some arbitrary definition of reality." Atheists don't believe in God - any God, or Gods (because consider that there are many from the Judeo-Christian complex to the ancient 'pagans' to the nameless spirits of shamanism and animism) because no religion has provided any credible evidence of their supernatural claims, not because concepts like Godhead and the Trinity are incomprehensible.
