why on sciforums is there no focus on what needs we have fulfilled by believing in a god?
Do theists believe only humans believe in gods?! why not dogs... simply just because we believe we understand them and rather ignorantly consider them basic vertebrates... they might still believe in a god figure.... it might even predate Christianity!!
So its more a humanist bunch of needs fulfilled than an actual "faith" to believe in god.
(I'm now preparing for the theist onslaught... and yes I am mad enough to believe even atheists deciding there is no god is just as humanistic, as their basis of desbelief is down to humans not being able to prove god sufficiently to other humans... but that's another point)
