Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

My difficulty with that though is someone had to come up with the idea of God. It is someone else's belief long ago that brought it into existence. To my knowledge humans are not born with the knowledge God might exist.
To put it differently, I have never seen a dog or cat praying.
It is a question that occurs to all who are sufficiently curious. It is a corollary of the question "Why does anything exist?".
Prove it..
You can not. That is the difference. I know you can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into but come on. This is yet another circle, round we go. You feel superior because you asked yourself that question and you came to your logical conclusion. Guess what buttercup, that doesn't mean it's the logical conclusion.
We're just talking circles I believe, so I appreciate the civil conversation (minus my low blows above) but I'm afraid we will be forced to agree to disagree. And if I'm wrong, you may have the chance to witness me give God a huge piece of my mind before he casts me off to hell. :)
I haven't even stated my conclusions. I am only trying to help y'all understand that it is not reasonable to jump from an absence of evidence to a conclusion of non-existence. It has nothing to do with me. It is a fact of formal logic.
