I don’t demand evidence of God. I don’t need to: I can see at a glance that it’s a wish-fulfillment device that allows people to build an alternate universe of their choosing, one where evil is some day punished, where good is some day rewarded... I understand perfectly well WHY people choose escapism. All around me, people are escaping into a world more to their liking. Maybe they use drugs, maybe they create an avatar and live in Sims world, maybe they enter the World of Warcraft or Dungeons & Dragons. Maybe they dream of Heaven. I understand it perfectly. I just don’t do it. Anymore.

You're projecting again, dear.

A few posts ago you mentioned that with science, there is nobody telling you you'll burn in Hell.

Why is it that atheists are ALWAYS hung up on Eternal Torment instead of Eternal Life?

And hence..."there is no god" because "I can quit believing anytime I want without penalty" but Christians are only into wishful thinking.

Got it.

Cheers!

Unfortunately, your belief in something (or lack thereof) does not change its reality.

"I don’t demand evidence of God. I don’t need to"

Yet you claim to be "against God", ie: an "atheist".

"[A-theists] define themselves by their opposition to God.
