The theist posits an entity that gives ultimate meaning and purpose, and this entity is required if we are to have it. In a very important sense, the theist is correct; life itself is that entity.
Sheesh why is the premise that there's gotta be some big invisible never seen never heard guy in the sky to wanna take your next breath? From my first memories AROUND 4or 5 yrs old, NOT ONCE did I need a Santa Claus to wanna go outside and ride my big wheel with my buddies. Never once NEEDED there to be some nonexistent thing that made everything ( ESPECIALLY SINCE... YA KNOW SCIENCE! ) TO WANNA ASK JENNY TO THE DANCE IN 7TH GRADE. I learned EVERYTHING I NEEDED to know in kindergarten in terms of being a moral or good person. GOD, the Bible, nor any other religion HAS EVER BEEN NEEDED for me to get out of the bed nor how to act once out of the 🛏️! IF I WAS going to look for ADDITIONAL motivation it certainly wouldn't be a fictional storybook about a fictional magician who was written about SUPPOSEDLY by ppl WHO NEVER MET HIM JIST LIKE EVERY OTHER CHRISTIAN GO FIGURE BUT WRITE/ TALK LIKE THEY WERE BEST FRIENDS! The whole premise of needing religion to wanna be alive OR to wanna be good and moral WHILE being alive is UTTERLY ridiculous to me. Somewhat weak in some ways. Someone needs to make up some invisible Gandolf from LOTR mixed with zombie without the ughehhhcf impossible to understand groaning to wanna live? Or to NOT wanna be a douche bag? NOPE never NOT once ever needed anything especially make believe to wanna live and live well.
This "Dr." Ralph Lewis is genuinely a bad person. He ruined my friend's life. If people only knew what psychiatry can do to innocent people in the name of "help".
Great discussion. Thanks
