[extropy-chat] Atheism etc.

[ben]

Well, i don't know anything about probability, but it seems to make 
sense to me that there are perfectly good, ordinary reasons for the 
phenomenon of belief in gods etc., throughout human history - reasons to 
do with human psychology, and sociology - and that these are all that 
are needed to explain such beliefs. No need to invoke any kind of 
explanation that involves supernatural phenomena, or any other highly 
unlikely scenarios. For me, at least, Mr. Occams beard-remover settles 
the issue.
Yes, "God" DOES exist - as an idea in the minds of certain people.

I suppose this makes me an Occamist :-(
