abusive parents: make your reality unsurvivable to the point where you have to withdraw into your own mind and live in a fantasy world in your head in order to make it thru

abusive parents: You're living in your head! You're never gonna survive in real life!

shaking six year old me by the shoulders YOU WERE RIGHT. YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT LOVE AND ABOUT FAIRNESS AND ABOUT SHARING IS CARING. YOU WERE RIGHT. THE ADULTS DON’T KNOW ANY MORE ABOUT TRUTH THAN YOU DO. KEEP BELIEVING IN THE FAIRIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GARDEN. NOTHING IS “JUST THE WAY IT IS”. I AM SORRY THEY EVER CONVINCED YOU TO FEEL SHAME. YOU ARE REAL AND A PART OF THIS WORLD. YOU WERE RIGHT.

"It is safer to believe in God even if there is no proof that one exists."

-- Blaise Pascal

"Suppose we've chosen the wrong god…Every time we go to church we're just making him madder…"

-- Homer Simpson

"It is safer to believe in vampires even if there is no proof that they exist." ← This is how stupid Pascal's Wager is.

“I’ve done a lot of reading and research about religion, because it’s something that fascinates me. What fascinates me is the compulsion or need for many to believe in this nonsense.

A great deal of us seem to have this need to fall back on this crutch of faith and belief. People say to me “Well, it’s all a matter of faith. You don’t need proof.”

Well, faith for me in that sense becomes a synonym for believing a lie and that’s no explanation at all.“

– Steven Wilson

Why is it that you people are supposedly in direct contact with this creature, and yet the best you can do remains “why are there still monkeys,” “how can something come from nothing” and “you’ll find out when you’re dead”?

If you’re in a “personal relationship” with it, how come of all the things you’ve ever prayed for, you’ve never asked for a better, more convincing argument? Surely that’s something an all-powerful, all-loving god could easily provide. And would want to. Have you never asked? Or did it say no?

Why do all the arguments for god consist of silly human sophistry and not indisputable divine logic?
