STOP BEING ATHEISTS STUPID ASSHOLES

In before "gb2 bible camp". I don't subscribe to any religion, it's just logical and you are all fucking idiots for not being able to understand something as simple as the ontological argument. I would go as far as to say you do not consider the BIG questions as you are not sapient!

This is the ontological argument...
Start with 2 of Descarte's famous premises and something obvious...


Thought exists.
I am inseparable from thought.
I exist.

Perceptions are a type of thought.

I cannot (completely) control the universe (I perceive).
The universe (I perceive) influences my perceptions.


Employ logic...


I do not (completely) control my perceptions.
The perceptions I cannot control are a type of thought.
Another existing thinking entity is controlling these perceptions.
The universe (I perceive) influences my perceptions.
An existing thinking entity is controlling the universe.

God = An existing thinking entity which controls the universe.

The difference being that we'll get tangible benefits out of funding physicists. Blue-sky research spins off benefits constantly. This text you're reading is being displayed on a monitor which would not exist, powered by a computer which would not exist, which uses electricity which would not be usable, and and internet that would not exist, passing over cables that would not exist, etc, etc, etc ad infinutum were it not for blue-sky research.

There's nothing wrong with faith, but there are no tangible benefits exclusive to faith either. What does religion have to do with charity, for example? Those godless Atheists never donate a thing.
