My parents use the phrase “stealing someone’s thunder”

They don’t however believe anyone can possess thunder

yup great, that has nothing to do with god. thanks for the +1

If they also say Thursday I think the only logical conclusion is they are worshippers of Thor

Yes it does. Thor is god of thunder. They are worshippers of Thor

Good one. I totally forgot about that one. :-)

It is the same principle you’re trying to push onto every. That using a word or phrase means you believe in the literal mean of said word or phrase.

“ when pigs fly “

Doesn’t mean I believe in flying pigs

Can you recommend any reading material on this subject?



nice thanks for contributing by pointing at me and saying i'm wrong while ignoring the thread topic.

I dont care about a sentence like "God doesnt need you to believe in him".

A sentence like this doesnt help anyone except the narrative of people that already believe in him.

My question was WHY do people believe in god.
Your answer is basically, that it doesnt matter.
So truth is not important to believers I guess. Believing gives comfort to everyone who wouldnt get along without it holds on to it, I get that.
Thats why believers dont question anything and tell everyone things like "I found god for myself, cant explain it. If he hasnt revealed himself to you, there is no way."

Its always easy for believers. God is omnipotent, so you can twist and turn things in every direction and avoid any explanation. Thats pretty comfy.
