God The oldest question!

 God The oldest question
So this book was basically made me think about these things. Does God exist? Is it reasonable to believe in a god, or is such belief simply an ancient superstition which most people have yet to abandon? These sorts of questions have long been key points of debate in philosophy and culture, and there are always new books attempting to provide definitive answers.

It is not normally explained, however, just why the lack of such an absolute source means that there is can be no rational source, and in this O’Malley is no exception. According to O'Malley, “true atheists” (whatever that means— I wonder if it is simply a means for him to claim that anyone who does not conform to his description isn’t really a “true atheist”) have “lost all hope” and see the world as a grim reflection of their own lack of purpose. Is atheism “an act of faith?” Once again, we often hear from theists that atheism is based upon “faith” just the way that any religion is and, hence, cannot be regarded as any more rational than theism. As argued elsewhere on this site, that depends upon an equivocation over the nature of the word “faith,” and quite often on a misrepresentation of atheism itself. The conclusion for O’Malley, as it is for so many, is that there is something more valid in Pascal’s Wager than in skeptical disbelief.
This book makes you think about so many things as you are reading as it is says in the very first few lines it says that “Humans are free to be more or less human.” So this makes you think that there is so many things that people could become and have so many different things that they can believe in. So truly religion and how we are here has a true theory and we just have yet to find it. But until that day comes people will have a way to think and that is there right as a human being to make their own choices in life.
