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

"I did not say that a deity must be real because so many people believe in him. It would not matter if the deity was false or not. My aforementioned statement was not about the existence of the deity being true based on number of people who believe it. " You don't have to claim something to be true in order to use ad populum. You were making a claim that the belief in god is different than the belief in the tooth fairy because more people believe in god. You are using the number of people who believe in god as a key point to why it is different. I have mentioned twice now that I am speaking about the lack of proof. I didn't mean that the tooth fairy and god are the exact same, I said BELIEVING in them is no different, And it isn't. I have mentioned this multiple times now and you don't listen. "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. " What? ! That is not even slightly close to what I am saying. But while you're at it let me throw some logic your way. If a child thinks his toy car is the one true god, And a race car driver thinks his race car is the one true god, They are both equally stupid. Just replace "toy car" with "tooth fairy" and "race car" with "god". "He then went on to describe why he found it to be poor evidence/testimony, Because he thought every single person who wrote believing that god spoke to us through this worlds existence were crazy. " If a man walked up to you and told you that he was the son of god and you should listen to whatever he says, Even the most faithful christians in the world would laugh in his face and tell him he is crazy. I know this because I went to church when I was younger and I remember them telling me never to believe in someone who claims to be the messiah, For they are the "false Christ". How would you know that? What if they are the true second coming of Christ and you are damned to helll for not believing him? Obviously none of this is true, But what I'm saying is, Just like people today who claim to be christ are crazy, The people who did similar things in the past were crazy. This includes the people who wrote the bible. "Well, I'm glad he agrees with me in any case that there is evidence for god. " Another dumb comment. Where are you getting this stuff? My whole point is that there is no proof of god. Or the tooth fairy for that matter. " And since there is more evidence for god than the Easter bunny" There isn't! There is just as much proof of the easter bunny or the tooth fairy than there is for god! How are you not getting this? This is the whole reason I think that believing in them is no different. " Clearly it is more reasonable to believe in god than the Easter bunny? " No, No it isn't. People who believe in god are equally as foolish as the people who believe in the easter bunny. Simple as that. "Ah! Again my opponent gracefully agrees with me. " I agreed with the fact that most adults don't believe in goblins or fairies. But they do believe in God which as I said, Is just a glorified tooth fairy. " I don't think Christians believe god to be a fairy, Nor suffer some sort of fear they shall fly a plane into him while flying though a cloud" 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. " I don't really see how saying a wizard did it would make any sense. " 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.
