Believing in God is no different than believing in the tooth fairy

In argumentation theory, An argumentum ad populum (Latin for "argument to the people") is a fallacious argument that concludes that a proposition must be true because many or most people believe it, Often concisely encapsulated as: "If many believe so, It is so. " https://en. Wikipedia. Org/wiki/Argumentum_ad_populum Perhaps I'm wrong, I'm not an expert in fallacious argument after all. Though I do not think I made a Argumentum ad populum myself. Not to worry my fine friend, I will explain my car example more thoroughly. Since it seems beyond your comprehension. "Based on the logic that you are using. There is no difference between the speeds a child's electric car goes and a Nascar racer. " See the word in bold? Speeds. Now say beliefs. Beee LIeeefsssssss. I am not examining the nature of the cars, But the nature of the speeds. I am not examining the nature of the Easter bunny and god. But the nature of the beliefs people have in god and the Easter bunny. As you said this is not about the tooth fairy and god being the same thing. It is about the difference in how people believe in them. Beeelieeevvveee Again same with the example about cars. Let's compare belief to speed. Yes, Belief in a deity is a belief and belief in a tooth fairy are beliefs. Is one of those beliefs stronger than the other belief? No? Wow. . . . That's your answer. I do hope you drive the speed limit. It sounds like you can't tell the difference between 10 miles an hour and hundred miles an hour. Since they're both speed, It must be the same. You also seem to think that there is nothing that causes this difference in belief. . . . While messiah thing. Yes, People are told to doubt false prophets. Why do you think plenty of Christians dislike some obviously fake preacher on TV, Obviously taking advantage of people? So you're going to choose to ignore all the parts in the bible where many people only believe after seeing miracles and listening wise men talk before deciding their opinions? . . . . Ohhhhkay. So now you want to change this to a debate about the evidence for god? . . Bit late mate. You already admitted the bible existed. Sure you didn't think it was very good evidence, But you accepted it's existence. Perhaps you know of some bunny worshiping cult with some thousands years old books, Historical writings, And believers. . . I wouldn't think so though. Note that the number of believers in this example do not make it more true, But certainly more believers is going to affect a persons belief. Thus making a difference in the belief of a deity X number of people believe, And the belief of a Easter bunny Y number of people believe. X > Y. I was using satire when I referred to god as a "magical fairy in the clouds" and I thought that was clear enough but I guess not. I'm fully aware that that isn't how Christians view god, I'm just making the point that it is a foolish belief, And it deserves to be mocked. So you were deliberately trying to lead people away from fact and evidence using bullying as a technique to make people live the way you want them to live. . . . Oh dear. If you can tell me how saying "God done did it! " makes any sense, Then I'll explain why saying "A wizard did it! " makes equally as much sense. As I said mate, The whys? The motivations. I could say that the fisherman at the store has just cut off your hunk of pork, But it makes more sense to say butcher.
