[net.philosophy] How hard it is!

mwc (02/16/83)

Mankind (or peoplekind to avoid the sexist trap) will never be able to
prove or disprove the existance of God (or god to some), not of the soul.
I will also never be able to prove (in any valid sense of the word) the 
veracity of my previous statement. To continue this game I will never prove
that I cannot prove the above.  
It is however clear that God is a useful concept, an interesting idea (belief
has changed the lives of many people for the better;
disbelief has left many to feel alone, lost, trapped).  If you can find
an alternative to religion, something that you believe in, trust, follow,
then is it not as good as religion?
