God help me Sneeches
“We don’t know if God exists, but we should keep asking” suggests the headline of a recent article in The Conversation by some academic who is paid to ask this question. Over and over and over.
There are some people that do know that God exists and they could collectively, amongst themselves, debunk this statement.
So the problem with this statement is the ‘we’. Who is ‘we’?
If the ‘we’ was everyone on the planet then no matter what evidence we came up with I am pretty sure that ‘we’ wouldn’t all agree that God does exist, even if God came to morning tea.
As I have said before, all truths are just beliefs because you can always find some clown willing to disbelieve a truth, which then automatically turns the ‘truth’ into a ‘belief’ for the rest of us.
So this is a truth/belief that can stop us asking the question over and over: ‘We(a) do know that God exists and we(b) do not know that God exists, and we(a) and we(b) disagree with each other on this matter’.
And we(c) don’t give a fuck.
