The same thing can be said about most conspiracy theories. People want to believe in aliens because then we aren’t alone and they feel more comfortable, for example. The biggest issue I have is it leads them to do things that are un-helpful for the rest of humanity.
And what scientific evidence has there ever been suggesting that this is the case? We can’t even scientifically evaluate whether another living being has any conscious experience.
Believing in God is about as realistic as believing the world is flat.
That is a bad comparison IMO. We have piles and piles of hard evidence the Earth is round. Saying the Earth is flat is just factually incorrect at this point.
But the existence of God. I would argue we have no hard evidence of God’s existence nor do we have hard evidence that God doesn’t exist. As far as science is concerned it is still a theory.
On top of that what makes a god a God there are multiple definitions of a God. If simulation theory is correct and we are all just in a simulation would be people outside of the simulation be our Gods?
Or if an extremely advanced civilization existed would they be Gods to us? Or If we as humans advanced enough could we become Gods our self.

We also have a lot of evidence that snakes can’t speak, people can’t turn plain water into wine, walk on the water and so on.

Claiming something which can neither be proven or disproven is what constitutes a pseudoscience. By that logic I could claim that we are in fact giant pink elefants hopping around on the moon, while imagining our reality as we currently think to perceive it. Since you can’t disprove that, I must be right. Or am I not?

No. A scientific theory can be proven or disproven, while the idea of a God, as interpreted in most religions, can not. Thereby constituting a pseudoscience. And thus, it’s not a scientific theory.

I suppose in the context of the parent comment the abrahamic God is meant, as interpreted by Christians, Jews and Muslims.

If I am remembering my stories correctly the snake wasn’t a normal snake but more of a representation of Satan. And I think god turned the water into wine and walked on water. We aren’t talking about an average person. Neither Satan nor God is around to let us do some experiments on.

Yeah fair enough but my point still stands that comparison between god and flat earth is still a bad comparison. Considering the Earth is here right now, and we can experiment on it.
I’m really tired of that asshole god taking up all the oxygen.
I am not religious and do not believe in any supernatural veings but if there were such a thing, the Japanese got it right with Shinto
Religions are mostly just popularized conspiracy theories. Believing in God is about as realistic as believing the world is flat.
But it’s not about that for many people. For many people, being religious is more about finding strength and peace in that kind of guided spirituality
False peace through a false god
Believe is a powerful thing I would ague even if what you belief is wrong if that belief brings you peace it is not a false peace.

But c’mon… There ARE aliens. Just maybe not here necessarily. But somewhere, there are 100% aliens.
Probably true, but we all know what we’re talking about here…
And for some finding religion is about having a reason to invade another country
When you’re so brainwashed you replace the word “oil” with “religion”

exactly. dont confuse genuine faith with religious grifters

And explaining what happens when you die. Which by its very definition nobody alive can know
Of course we can. We have means to observe the dying process. There is already a lot of scientific knowledge on that topic.
From the outside, yes. We don’t have anything information about the post-death experience.
Because there is no “experience” after death. You just start to rot.
And what scientific evidence has there ever been suggesting that this is the case? We can’t even scientifically evaluate whether another living being has any conscious experience.

Hahaha no absolutely not
How come that you refuse this so confidently?
Here just a few works from that wide field:
None of those explain what happens when you die, are you mad? Wtf?

Also, the sanke wasnt a snake until AFTER Yahweh found out about the fruit salad thing
