The Worst Reason To Believe In God?

[@CosmicSkeptic]

“Even if it’s false, people believe in God because it makes them feel good, and why not?” - this sounds like something an atheist would say!
Crucially, a person who acts like God exists is not a theist, but an atheist, since despite their desires and actions, they still don’t truly believe in God’s existence.

I agree with you on principle, but I will say that no, you absolutely can control what you believe. Technically speaking, you can’t “control” what you believe, but by that standard, you cannot control who you are or any choice you make. If we’re talking about the will you have when choosing which donut to buy, then yes, you absolutely can choose what you believe. People constantly look at every fact against what they believe, and decide “I am going to give my gut feeling undue amounts of trust.”
Humans are built to want to be able to trust themselves, and when they are proven logically wrong, they can decide to fall back on the idea that their instincts are so compelling that surely, they must be from a god. You convince yourself that it is true simply by repeating it over and over. And that’s a choice, as much as anything else a human can choose.

[@RustyWalker]

@@starRushi If you find a community where you feel valued, and that community has counterfactual beliefs, loyalty to the group may take precedence over whether their beliefs are true. This is underscored by cutting yourself off from opposing ideas from "outsiders" which are interpreted as attacks on the group and your identity.
In this way, you can come to believe something false, that you knew to be false at the outset. You can actively participate in your own path to delusion.

Believing in something make u happy DOESN'T mean pretending to believe will make u happy as well .

[@crazydragy4233]

also the fact that it's unclear where the happiness of theists is derived from, and theists being different fundamentally on some things from atheists might not be happy for the dame reasons

[@sliceofpie1741]

Actually it does make you feel better, but thats the start of a whole new problem cos if u believe one thing just to cover ur fear of reality then u will keep doing this belief shit everywhere. That's a recipe for ur own disaster. You become susceptible to being fooled easily.

[@skepticusmaximus184]

Believing my partner is satisfied every time we make love and has already orgasmed by the time I have, certainly makes ME happy....
Not to mention believing she is there, is a supermodel, or even exists, makes me positively ecstatic... even if I do have to use more lube.

Man I will pray for you to have (believe) God again in your life.
Also because:
Believe in God is
*Free
* It those not required any political changes (believer can be con right, centre, wing, liberal, conservative and so on).
* You will not change that Much, only Believe in Him.
* Once you are alone is only Him you have.
* So if you feel sick.
* Or Someone of your family, unfortunately does.
* once you get older you will have him
* Or before to die.
* You will not think the people who lived and the one you knew left this world are Nothing (and in some cases is like they never existed, because none remembers them or have a picture of them, but have reached God.
* You will see people not just human but sons with a Father (which believe me will help, because you give them another positive attribute, which will help you to define them with more meaning).
* You will have another purpose in this life: which is not. Be good and help people, but pray for them (and praying is a religious thing) and work not only for this life but also for after life,because working for the next life give you more hope and let you think about your future future... Just as you think for tomorrow.
And basically we stop this thing that we westerns do to be the most arrogants people in te world, and again losing the faith on God, only because we live in a ealthy society we want live materiliscally, especially for our youth (they will need God anyway once older, believe it or not).
I hope you understand that (without any further questions)
May God bless you and the peace for Jesus upon you ☺️

You need the context of the conversation, he was using his subjective moral framework of Pleasure and Pain to justify religious belief as being net position and therefore the default stance in his own view point (he was basically trying to show him that regardless of logical framework you use, belief in God is always the correct way to live your life as a human being)...

[@heckingbamboozled8097]

@@bigbowss9817 I mean, in my view that just makes what he's saying even worse. He's trying to justify his complicated religious views by comparing them directly to the not nearly as complicated "default" state people have morally. It just doesn't work as a comparison as Alex rightly pointed out

[@artimusclydefrog]

so we are at the "we know its bullshit but it makes us happy" stage

[@WolfJ]

What argument is he responding to? If he's responding to the stance that morality is a meme (in the Dawkin's sense) for maximizing happiness (a relatively common ethical stance), then this is a decent rebuttal. The rebuttal would be better if it weren't also attempting to advance a belief in god and instead was just using it as a contradiction by absurdity.
At bottom, a morality is not for maximizing happiness (or at least minimizes suffering) though. We're tempted to claim it is because we hold a morality that values happiness (or at least opposes suffering). However, moralities exist that value growth and require suffering while leaving happiness as something that may happen incidentally while producing strong people. At best, we can say, we want morality to promote the general welfare or adopt a metaphysics where properties only exist in interactions (adding an implicit "to me" after every claim).

[@artimusclydefrog]

@@WolfJ holy word salad gish gallop batman.
morality is not a "meme", nor is the idea of morality being "maximising happiness" a common philosophical stance.
"Morality" is, like every other evolved animal behaviour.. just the word we came up with TO DESCRIBE IT.
the "animal behaviour" which WE CALL MORALITY can be CLEARLY DEFINED BY SPECIFIC COMMON CHARACTERISTICS which we an observe across ALL SPECIES which exhibit "Morality"
it is the desire of an individual within a group to act in a way which minimizes the avoidable suffering of another individual.
it is derived from empathy, and the ability to understand that an action has consequences.
the empathy allows the individual to understand that others feel "bad" when "bad" things happen to them, and their knowledge of consequences allows them to understand that if they do something which leads to a result that harms that other individual, they have "caused the bad thing"
TL;DR; our ability to understand that others feel as we do when bad things happen to us means that we try to act in ways that minimize bad things happening to others.
this is an evolved animal behaviour common across all sentient communal species, and it makes total sense as an evolutionary device, given that cooperation is vital for the survival of these species.

Really well stated alex, “you cant choose what you believe” perfect answer

[@WolfJ]

I don't mean to imply "just be delusional", but "you can't choose what you believe" is inaccurate.
You can believe anything that aligns with your lived experience regardless of its correspondence with objective reality. Negatively applied, this is how people are gaslit. Positively applied, this is a principle in CBT (a psychological practice which involves replacing unhelpful beliefs by living out helpful beliefs). In both cases, your beliefs aren't flipped instantly, but your beliefs are modified over months to years of disputing old beliefs and living out new beliefs (whether by someone gaslighting you or by engaging in CBT).
The important part is that the belief cannot contradict your lived experience. For most people, this excludes the existence of a god that is together good, knowledgeable, and powerful (i.e. the problem of evil). However, some change different aspects of their worldview to ignore this problem, like redefining evil as the absence of good.
Slight tangent on the last point, but reasonably, they could also abandon moral realism (i.e. good and evil exist as more than a useful fiction), and they could define good as whatever god values. Yes, this is a real argument Christians have made: God is the embodiment of good, so whatever he wills is good, even if that's something we "ignorantly" perceive as evil.

Whether you agree with one or more of their goals it doesnt change the fact their methods are extremely sinister, I`d even say totalitarian. And it isnt even true religion makes people happier, maybe for some but not the entire population.

From my perspective, he's telling me to do something impossible and I'm explaining I can't, from his perspective, he's telling me to do something entirely reasonable and I'm refusing. Can't argue over whether one and one is two if you can't agree on what "One" or Two" or "Is" means, I guess.

Nobody pretends to believe in something to make themselves happy, unless they're somehow capable of actively deluding themselves. People pretend to believe in things to make other people happy.

people are very capable of actively deluding themselves. suspension of disbelieve is a powerful thing, and you can totally convince yourself that something is real even if you’d know it to be false if you’d allow yourself to be more rational. for example, i know the physics of the universe don’t work to bring me opportunities to learn and grow from, but i’ve chosen to see things that way because it’s a more fun, productive and optimistic mindset, i very much believe in it throughout the day and it makes me happier, but if you were to ask me to bet money on whether it’s actually real i’d say it’s not

@@ha.alamin ​​⁠That argument itself is already a red herring from the actual question at hand, god's existence. Belief isn't something you can assess based on happiness and then simply decide to do for the greater good. If one does see it that way, then that is something other than belief in what is true. Truth is not based on what is good, or what brings happiness. And to argue that one should believe something because it is morally good, is illogical.

They are constantly bringing up rather dumb religious rhetoric, even though we won’t engage them in it, only out of respect for their sister (our brother’s wife) and through the years, they have always seemed so stressed out, unhappy and worried as compared to us Atheist family members who just get out and enjoy life, so I don’t see any benefits in her life due to her religion.
I’d try to talk sense into her and her family, but they are just too far gone.

Alex is only viewing this argument through his own perspective. Just because he doesn’t believe in god, doesn’t mean that everyone else also believes god isn’t real but is secretly just ignoring that belief in some kind of self delusion for the sake of feeling more happy. Our relationships with god are a personal journey, and when we congregate with others who share similar beliefs, can enhance our devotion to the lord and hopefully towards gods teachings to help our fellow man in any capacity. The scriptural lessons will vary depending on your prescribed religion… As a Vaishnava Hindu we believe the universe was set up in a way that runs itself based on Karmic order. Karma in other words can be viewed as negative or positive energy you put out into the world. You then can have a negative or positive hand dealt in your lifetime that carries with you into the next life or reincarnation. This could be one explanation for the suffering of innocent people for someone like Alex who “BELIEVES” in nothing. Ultimately Alex has dedicated his life to trying to prove others that their identity is false when at the end of the day, if it brings that person happiness and helps them navigate the harsh reality of our time on earth, and helps that person develop a moral compass of compassion for others, then Alex is wasting his own time.

Therefore he believes that he knows the definition of knowledge which he believes is a type of belief. He thus must know what a "belief" is, but to know is to believe, so he has a belief that knowledge is a belief. So to know what a belief is, means you must have a justification that it is a belief, that belief has to be true, and he has to believe it. So a belief is true and justified and believed so belief is known, which means he believes belief is true, justified and believed. Alex's philosophy is a belief without justification about knowledge being a belief with justification.
The people that tell you that you cannot believe without a reason, believe that without a reason. The philosopher that tells you that you cannot delude yourself has come to that conclusion because they deluded themselves into believing this "knowledge as a type of belief" philosophy.

It is from this deluded philosophical position that one concludes that one cannot delude themselves, however that conclusion is only possible by deluding yourself to it. So it is possible to delude yourself into believing something.
So in fact, I am saying the opposite of what you asked, I am saying that those who believe in god do not have to have any reason to do so. They just can and some of them just do. Atheists don't believe, or know that a god is not possible, that is not the same thing.

You can choose to act in opposition of your belief or you can be manipulated/convinced into a change of beliefs but you can't simply choose to believe that what you don't.

A hard definition of free will in the sense that we can do other than what we do, I don't think is true but I do think we have a kind of free will such that we have the experience of choices and the culpability of those choices, and I do think it is a fact that belief is not one of those choices.

Uh, no that doesn’t follow. 🤨

[@youtube_omaro1879]

Yes it does.
Happiness results from the actions of belief. Islam is built into our programming, copying the actions of Iman gives you pleasure even if you don't have Iman yourself.
Charity, patience, mindfulness/zikr, prayer/meditation, abstinence from alcohol, marriage, these are all scientific proven to increase happiness regardless of religious beliefs.
When I want to show my kids the problem with atheism, I don't go to theological arguments, I just point out how atheists live their lives compared to the muslims. The muslims have it so much better.

[@joemiller7082]

@@youtube_omaro1879you are either misunderstanding or misusing the term belief.
People who pretend or act like they believe ARE atheists. Because they are feigning belief. Atheism is not having belief. People who feign belief don’t actually have belief. It doesn’t matter at all what they pretend to have.
All of the things you get from Islam, I get without it. Religion isn’t the common denominator. A moral frame work is.

Not all the things. You can get to one level, but the higher levels can't be reached without sincere belief.
An atheist may pray to be seen, he won't do Tahajjud. He may give charity, but he doesn't give as much. He may be a stoic, but he'll never have tawakkul.
There are levels of happiness and contentment in life that are not only unobtainable by atheists, but they are completely unaware of.

I think we went on a tangent.
The original point was that pretending to believe makes you happier. Which I contend is true because pretending to believe requires a person to do things that make you happier.

[@joemiller7082]

@@youtube_omaro1879 I don’t agree with that at all because you know you’re pretending to believe. That’s literally lying to yourself. There are literally *millions* of examples of people who were suffering serious harm that receded when they *stopped* faking it and moved on and stopped worrying about that one thing.
You can contend all you want but it is *disproven* by tens of millions of miserable believers and extremely happy non believers. Funny enough, there is neither correlation NOR causation to bolster your point. It is basically a blind assertion. You can’t prove a higher level of happiness. You’re just saying it. I could “just say” the opposite.
There are lots of reasons people do things to make them happier. Believing in a god is just one of many, and it’s very common that people are literally just scared to say they don’t believe because they fear hell. Therefore you are *unjustified* in your assertion. That isn’t real happiness. That’s a hostage negotiation.

"You can't choose what you believe." This is the point that some theists don't seem to understand. Even if I wanted to believe in Jahve, Thor or Poseidon, I can't force myself to believe in them.

[@malfunctioning_panda]

I (an atheist) had a conversation like this with a very religious ex-friend once who was hellbent on making me into a believer, and he literally said he was doing it to "save me" (I have no idea from what) and because I apparently "didn't know myself and was a lost and doomed soul" cuz I don't believe in god. He didn't specify which god when I asked him though (he was Hindu; my family is also Hindu) and seemed confused by the question. Anyway, he was actually really rude and was telling me how I was a horrible human just cuz I didn't believe what he believed in. When I told him I've never asked him to consider atheism and I'm fine with whatever he believes in, just that I don't believe in that myself and I'm a completely different individual, he refused to listen and continued telling me how I was too far gone and needed to be saved. After he gave me the same bs about how I'd be happy if I just believed in his imaginary sky dude, I told him, "but I do have someone like that I believe in and which makes me really happy." And he was absolutely elated and was like, "yesh, so she does believe in a god" and when he asked me who it was, I said the name of my favourite anime character (who is based on a real-life Meiji era Japanese author, also one of my favourites, and why wouldn't I believe in that? It's a fact that this person really did exist.) He threw a huge fit over it, lost his head, actually started dissing not only me, but also other religions for some reason (while I kid you not, literally saying, "but Hinduism is a tolerant religion and we respect everyone else" lmao) and finally stopped talking to me after that lol
(I had put up with his nutjob bs for many months actually before this happened)

[@haruspex1-50]

Thank you for this Cosmic. For awhile I’ve felt that you’ve mainly targeted Christianity due to the fact it’s easy. I like the versatility in also tackling other faiths especially Islam as too often I’ve come across Muslims who ignorantly make conclusions of the non religious and people of other beliefs

[@hgec]

The difference is quite simple. Human rights are a social ideology to create a better world. Believing in God for happiness is as simple as taking drugs to feel good. But this is not a basis for a better, more educated and more successful society. Just for a slightly happier company (maybe). Besides, you don't have to believe in God to be happy. There are many other options and it is not a social obligation for a better world. Therefore it is difficult to claim that it can be considered a social ideology.

[@joemiller7082]

I don’t even think choosing to believe in god is possible. I think you could choose to try to believe. Eventually you may become convinced, but that is really just a “fake it til you make it” situation.

[@Maximusket]

Infact the way these people use god to justify horrible things makes it even more difficult for me to believe in the ideology itself despite knowing the loopholes..

[@pemzenas]

As a Christian, gotta agree with CS on this one when he says “you can’t choose what you believe”… in my opinion “choosing a religion” or having one chosen for you is more likely to give way to a more disingenuous and/or tenuous form of belief because there will always be a part of you fighting against it; you may begin to pick and choose what tenets you want to follow etc. because one or two might not agree with your worldview...
But true belief comes from total surrender of one’s self. Now this is something you can choose, but it’s not easy and requires a great deal of humility and as many Christians will profess, an act of God Himself.
Now the question of whether or not your faith in a particular religion, ideology or whatever is misplaced is up for debate, but I think advocating for “pretending to believe for the sake of happiness” as this (I assume) Muslim gentleman here is doing is pretty wild.

[@sam_humanvariant]

I've actually struggled with this very idea. I know I enjoyed parts of being a believer, but once I realized the truth, I can't just go back to being a believer. As much as a part of me would like to, I simply cannot force myself to believe something I know isn't true.

Dignity) it would not change their life, actually more alone and empty,
(they do not even have a real community) empty life they live empty shit
they are in like this stupid cult called Atheism! No respect for them.
(They are very weak, empty and frustrated people, a life that none will
accepted, but those godless alone trash idiots).. those who say there is
no God will pay for it, soon or later... No won't be a godless alone
trash person into an empty cult not even good for my ass such atheism,
that offers them nothing. But emptiness and lonlyness for their
miserabile godless alone life. No respect for them. They are just empty
