Again, I know you’ve said that this stuff is subjective by nature and outside the bounds of rationality, but when you enter a conversation effectively shouting, “Wait! Stop the presses! You’ve all got it wrong!”, you bear a burden of proof. You can’t just state something as fact, in an attempt to invalidate everything others have been saying, and then - when asked to justify your claims - run off and flip everyone the bird by claiming that you don’t have to because religion is a subjective thing.
It is dishonest to state as fact that which you cannot demonstrate.
As I’ve said several times before in the past, you can get around this by simply adding qualifiers to your claims such as, “I believe…”, “In my opinion...”, “The way I see it…” But you refuse to do this and so you bear a burden of proof.
<<Second, there IS a good reason: for many people, belief is a good and effective technique for coming closer to God (regardless whether the content of that belief is correct, incorrect or inaccurate).>>
This is not a good reason to belief in a God or follow a religion until this concept of 'coming closer to a God' can be demonstrated to be a valid concept.
<<All examples you or anyone else in this forum ever brought, were about some bad effects of schmeligions, not of religion.>>
You’re doing it all here again. You need to justify this claim.
