Why has religion retained its appeal?

[SnailyBoy]

Yes. There's zero evidence.

There's only the faith that exists in me.

EDIT: I'm fortunate. Some people devote their lives to people who only pretend to love them.

you have no reason to believe you'll wake up in the morning. No one is guaranteed tomorrow my friend.

 

Edit: fact: Every day throughout history, some unfortunate soul as died, passed away, kippered-it, kicked the bucket. Now explain why you believe it wont be your turn tomorrow.

 

I said that I had a reasonable belief that I will wake up in the morning. You mentioned guarantee.

Likewise. I have a reasonable belief that there's a far greater force than me at work. yet, you mentioned evidence. .

That's not a reasonable belief, you can't even define what it is.

[danot]

That's not a reasonable belief, you can't even define what it is.

 

Would you agree that its also remotely possible that you wont wake up tomorrow?

We have many examples of people waking up in a morning.

 

We have many examples of people dying, we know how and why why people die,

 

It's a reasonable belief that people wake up and people die.

 

How many examples of a yet to be defined 'greater at work' do you have?

[Anna B]

I hope / believe / have faith the world won't be annihalated by a meteorite tomorrow.

 

Is that what you mean?

Again- I'm going to assume you're referring to 'scientific evidence'. so, since you've fringed on the topic of science once again, I'll introduce my scientific question yet again.

 

 

Please answer this time. Do you believe dark matter exixts?

I wasn't talking about scientific evidence as such.

 

Just what constitutes a reasonable belief.

Look at how you defined faith. Then look at your example again.

What is your reasonable belief of you not dying tomorrow based on?

What is your reasonable belief of you not dying tomorrow based on?

 

I'm pretty healthy and examples of people my age dying suddenly are statistically rare.

 

So I'm pretty confident that I'll see out tomorrow.

 

So what?
