Sorry for the misunderstanding but you just sounded to me like an atheist. When I read you Dawkins comes to mind.
Then you go to try to disproof the existence of God by saying if he was actually real he should have proven it to us. Not very agnostic in my opinion. And let me repeat that, IMO.
I did no such thing. If you really think that I think I can disprove God then you have completely and totally misunderstood my perspective, and I literally just told you that I have no set beliefs about whether or not God exists. All I was saying is that the two arguments, about not having proof for or against God's existence, are not inherently equal in the way that they can seem when said simply as you did in your previous post. I never said anything about what God "should" have done.
About the ''I like a world with completely different world views when they are based on logic'' I just wonder whose logic. Scientific logic I assume. I myself like different world views in a complete sense. I don't grasp most of them but that doesn't mean they are not logic. You keep trying to undermine religion by calling it delusion. A psychiatrist will disagree with you. I am for rationality too but that doesn't invalidate all mystic knowledge.
A psychiatrist would disagree with me? Says who, you? I've spoken to psychiatrists before who were very much in agreement with me here. You sure make a lot of assumptions about people for someone preaching openmindedness.
I never said that rationality invalidated all mystic knowledge, or
any mystic knowledge for that matter. I said that organized religion is a load of bullshit, and it is. Once again, a sliver of truth does not justify perpetuating the delusion. It is entirely possible to form opinions about the metaphysical or spiritual aspects of reality based on your own experience and observations rather than just believing in ludicrous stories because someone told you that an all-powerful deity told you to. Those are completely, utterly different scenarios.
And about every belief having in itself some kind of truth. You can call it absurd as much as you like but if you were that person with that ''absurd'' belief you would see things quite differently, don't you think? So bassicaly the message is that in this matter your reality is closer to the truth than those with batshit crazy beliefs. Not only that if not that they were 100% wrong, probably at least 99%, don't you think?
Of course I would see things differently, because I would be batshit crazy. What kind of question is that? That doesn't make it any less absurd.
I'm not even really sure what you're asking in the end, the wording was confusing. If you're asking if I think my argument is that batshit people are definitely 100% wrong, then no I don't. I have specifically said several times that delusions can contain slivers of truth.
If something cannot be observed by multiple people of ''sane mind'' (whatever that is) happening repeatedly and consistently, then there might be some truth against what appears to be. Just like all new discoveries where once upon a time. That's my world view.
And my world view. You're still describing the same logic I presented, just from the point of view of failure rather than success. Not really sure what you mean by mentioning the new discoveries though.
I'll let you have the last word. I feel I said everything I needed to say, and this is starting to go in cercles.
Gee, thanks. I don't see anything circular about it myself, but tell yourself whatever you want. I'm not really interested in discussing this further with you anyway with this attitude.
