I think I am losing my faith.

I'm really starting to get scared that I enjoy reading, "The God Delusion" more than I do the Bible. What can I do to renounce my faith?

Have you read any other sorts of philosophy of religion related texts? Albert Camus? Nietzsche? Dostoyevsky?

>>2
Never heard of them.

If your going to question your religion it would probably be best to consort other resources. Here's a good list of things to read

FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
-The Ontological Argument by St. Anselm
-The Cosmological Argument by Samuel Clarke
-The Teleological Argument by William Paley
-The Wider Teleological Argument by Peter Van Inwagen

THE PROBLEM OF EVIL
-Rebellion by Fyodor Dostoevsky (This is actually from the Brothers Karamazov, it's really good)
-The Problem of Evil and Some Varieties of Atheism by William Rowe

This is a good one but not sure what to put it under
-The Ethics of Belief by W.K. Clifford

I would also look into Nietzsche and existentialism.

Let me know if any of this helps you.

For some reason I rather look up books for the lack of existence of God. I have no idea why.

Because you recognize that proving the existence of God requires disproving the nonexistence of God, and that sounds pretty hard.

Either way I find that it's better to get objective standpoints on both issues, the things I listed as THE PROBLEM OF EVIL are arguments for the non-existence of god which I believe are very potent arguments.

objective standpoints
You think there is such a thing? It's more like a bunch of theists going "here's why I'm not crazy" and a bunch of atheists going "lol here's why you are".

>>9
You're awesome.

>>10
You, however, are a gigantic faggot. Go kill yourself.

>>11
What?

>>12
Don't ask; just do it.

>>13
I'm confused, why does he need to kill himself and why is he a faggot?

lol guys

Of course you enjoy The God Delusion more. It was written in your dialect, untranslated, and marketed to readers. The Bible is an entirely different class of book, ranging from creation stories and family trees to parables told by a Jewish carpenter two-thousand years ago.

Of course, you did use the word "renounce" incorrectly. So I may be posting in a troll thread.

Does God hate me now?

NEVER FORGET THE HEROES THAT GAVE THEIR TIME AND THEIR LIVES TO DIE FOR THE GREATER CAUSE OF MAKING THE PLEASURE OF BEING CUMMED INSIDE A GOOGLE MEME. YOUR SACRIFICE WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN.
