My own religion
There is inferred evidence for the existence of the supernatural, and a First Cause:
These things are not empirical, but they have been part of the human experience since we have recorded our thoughts.
- Human angst
- Felt Presence
- Universal Morality.. perception of 'good & evil'
- Intelligence
- Human consensus
- Foxhole Atheists
- The Universe
- Probability
- Hysterical Hostility
- Presumption of Mass Delusion
I submit that it is 'folly', to categorically dismiss the entirety of human experience and consensus for millennia, for some new, pop notion of 'no God!', based mostly on Indoctrination, peer pressure, and a narrow view of evidence.
The folly continues by pretending, 'we're so much smarter, now!', when all we have done is harness technology, and we are no closer to understanding the mysteries of life and the universe than we were thousands of years ago. Some could argue we've forgotten more than we've ever known, regarding the deepest mysteries of the universe. Some facts of physics and engineering may have made existence easier, but it has not brought us any closer to our roots and the Big Questions of existence.
It is the presumption of wisdom, that cannot be quantified by natural facts, that exposes the folly.
Would you please stop that.
There is no evidence one way or the other.That it can't be known, ff there is a God or not, because in effect it is a subset of the limits of reason, logic and evidence.
That list is not even correct for the everyday world we share. That you believe in universal morality, tells me, that we are not on the side despite both being religious.
Further perception: Google:
1: the ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses.
2: the way in which something is regarded, understood, or interpreted.
Good and bad are #2 and thus subjective. You want to do philosophy. Here is a classical one for Hume.
Imagine to see a human stabbing another human to death. Please tell how you per #1 see, that it is good or bad. You can't. You subjectively interpret it as good or bad.
