But I'm saying that potter doesn't even exist. And I don't see how arguing that is like arguing that it is stupid that the sky is blue. Plus, I've presented plenty of evidence to support my argument.The pot doesn't get to dictate to the potter how he is made. You don't like it. Noted. You might as well be arguing that it is stupid that the sky is blue.
Do you never, ever truly question your religious beliefs -- rather than just accepting them because you were probably raised in an environment where they were drilled into you repeatedly over a period of years and years starting from infancy when your mind was like a sponge, ready to absorb and accept anything, all without your consent?
I can't tell you how great the sense of liberation is when a person finally realizes and accepts that they've been lied to throughout their youth and brainwashed into believing a set of myths that lead to a life filled with unwarranted fear and guilt, and then finally breaks free from all that self-imposed worry and anguish.
The feeling can probably be likened to being a long-term prisoner who escapes Alcatraz.
Christianity creates the problem, then it offers to solve that problem. But that problem is imaginary, and so it's solution.
It's probably the greatest scam of all time.
