since most of the planet believes in a god that doesnt exist?

Question

could it be - that god is just a delusion?

christianity - 2 billion followers
islam - 1.5 billion followers

there are 3 possibilities -

1 - christianity is the true religion and there are 1.5 billion deluded muslims

2 - islam is the true religion and there are 2 billion deluded christians

3 - neither christianity/islam is true and there are 3.5 billion deluded christians/muslims

whichever of these is true - there are a lot of deluded people out there. Since there are so many deluded people - why should anyone think that what they happen to believe is anything other than a delusion?

Answer 1

How many non-believers? I'm curious to know where your data comes from.

Answer 2

Thats a total of 3.5 Billion people that believe In GOD, Now its kind of hard to get 2 people to agree on anything , much less to get 3.5 billion to Believe in a GOD, INLESS they have experianced something in their lifes that made them Believe..that should make the NON Believers think twice before they start mocking GOD. If the Bible were not true, The NON believers,many many years ago, would have made sure it was done away with, and there would have been proof, that it wasen`t true, BUT, NO ONE has been able to do that.

Answer 3

There is another alternative - that both religions are correct, but their gods don't get on. . . in which case it is the non-believers that are the deluded.

No one knows for sure, but I personally believe that all gods exist - and I also figure that I'll avoid them all as much as possible. Life's too short to get caught up in religious debate.

Answer 4

Ahemmmm... yes, what was the question again? As you can see I am vey real and can even predict that you will either say A) that I am deluding myself or B) that you refush to aknowledge my existance. Either way you have a choice as do all my children, is that such a bad thing?

Answer 5

If I opened a shop that sold empty promises tommorow how much money would I make?

If I opened a shop that sold empty promises 1000 years ago and sold my biography - it would be called a diary. if i got several deluded people to write it for me it would be called a bible. If i got a peodophile to write it whilst promising peace to men, it would be called the Koran. If i got 200 people on cocain it would be called hinuism. If i got someone on a spliff it would be called buddism.

If I got someone without harrasement it would be called "plant life, we live, we prosper, we die"

Answer 6

Supposing the god they believe in exists but they have different interpetaitions of the same god?

Just a random thought

Answer 7

Every body at my mother-in-law's house thought that the cat that always hung around their house was a male, until she had kittens. The point is this. The majority of the people who are in agreement can still be wrong.

Answer 8

Or 3.5 billion people trying to find answers to life's questions.

Answer 9

religion has nothing to do with god,,,, religion is designed to keep you deluded and so they are,, living in fear of their god and spouting a lot of weak and unfounded bull sh*t which has no relevance to the real mysteries of life

Answer 10

God is not a Religion and never was. God is the Spirit of Truth , Love and Knowledge. If you cannot believe in that God, then Truth , Love and Knowledge must not be on your Priority list. if it is then you know God, but only by accepting the Sacrificed Blood of God's Son Jesus's sacrifice can he know you. God cannot look on Sin or Hear Sinners.

Answer 11

that leaves 3 billion other deluded, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists, etc.

Proves Satan is good at deceiving
