“Hey Damien is God real, I am not sure?” – Questioner
My response, What is a god anyway? What is there that would let us even know something about the term god? Even if one thinks they have something they think answers that question demonstrating the empty term god and why is such a belief even accurate and not better explained without adding the empty term god? While we are at it are unicorns, dragons, or vampires real? No, they too lack credibility and have no reason to think that rational truth will change and that includes nonsense concepts like gods that are equally terms without any valid evidence. And no, baseless assertions are not facts.
There is no magic no supernatural anything at all done. There is no warrant, or justification to even claim to support any reality coherent properly to attach to the label god or magic and everything anyone claims to add is just making shit up or profoundly misinterpreting evidence in reality. Thus the term god is limited to people stating baseless assertions.
What I am addressing is how you accurately assess things, it is being honest in ones belief acquisition or formation, it’s using epistemological rationality. The ethics of belief: directly concern the fields of ethics and epistemology. Philosophy of mind, rationalism, psychology and psychoanalysis are all closely connected to these ideas.
The term god is empty if one wants to use it they have to build it up with justified fact after fact, you don’t get to just say made up terms as if they are real just by the term having a common description, as the jolly green giant or stay puft the marshmallow man have descriptions and are not real.
