Re: Calling all philosophers...

[quote=dda]Dostoyevsky was a fool!

To me, something which can be proved or disproved is science. If something can be neither proven or disproven, then it is philosophy. God can never be proven or disproven. It/he/she is philosophy.

Friend, I am not going to even try to explain, defend philosophy and refute your ideas. Those who spent all their life writing and thinking philosophy were not fools. Do yourself a favour and please read. If you are able to talk about many things so openly in forums and in other contexts, it is thanks to the people who did their best to reveal the underlying assumptions / logic of human life and behaviour. It is not only thanks to those who gave their life for freedom throughout human history. Freedom is locked behind so many doors, but philosophical knowledge is one of the keys that can set you free.

The problem is not whether God exists or not. What matters is why human beings need to believe in a God, and the modus operandi of religion.
