“His “reasons” for not believing in God are pathetic.”
What are good reasons to not believe in a God?
By “pathetic,” I mean that they aren’t even plausible, or clever, or troubling, or difficult to see through. They are formulaic, convenient, shallow, and logically incoherent.
I knew a man who survived Auschwitz (unlike most of his family), and lost any faith in God. While I believe in God, I didn’t have any glib answer for him, and I still don’t.
I find Hinduism/pantheism the hardest to argue against. There are arguments, but it's hard to use arguments against a belief that God transcends the true/false dichotomy.
Or solipsism. No one claims to be a solipsist, but most libertine young people act that way.
