My conclusion is that there is no reason to #believe any of the dogmas of traditional #theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true. Man, in so far as he is not subject to natural forces, is free to work out his own destiny. The responsibility is his, and so is the opportunity.
—Bertrand Russell

Theists:
For argument’s sake, let’s say a god exists and that it’s the god you happen to believe in.

Please detail the evidence that connects your god to anything that happens on Earth.

Many orthodox people speak as though it were the business of sceptics to disprove received #dogmas rather than of dogmatists to prove them. This is, of course, a mistake.

Prove he doesn’t exist.

#RELIGION: A set of #beliefs held as #dogmas, dominating the conduct of life, going beyond or contrary to #evidence, and inculcated by methods which are emotional or authoritarian, not intellectual.

The world that I should wish to see would be one freed from the virulence of group hostilities and capable of realizing that happiness for all is to be derived rather from co-operation than from strife. I should wish to see a world in which #education aimed at mental freedom rather than imprisoning the minds of the young in rigid armor of #dogma calculated to protect them through life against the shafts of impartial #evidence.
—Bertrand Russell

Non-belief of claims about a god is not the same as making a claim that the god does not exist. #ThinkAboutIt #BurdenOfProof #NullHypothesis
