Why so many people have you missed the possibility of a middle ground truth?
God exists. God does not exist. Why couldn't it be that either assumptions are based on the definition of God that has been set by religions/people and the history, when in fact most definitions are mistaken for human king attributes such as "gets angry", "loves you", "punishes you", "rewards you", "takes revenge", "gives you wealth".
For me God's existence is a possibility or a no possibility, but if he exists then none of the most common attributes are true.
God created the universe. God did not create the universe. Why couldn't it be that God neither did create the universe nor did not, it's just that the universe evolved and still evolving while God is the perpetual catalyst for the process?
I believe that people tend to go to extremes because that's a subconscious bias, some type of self-defense mechanism. What do you think?

Most of your extremists are weak minded people who need to believe in something so strong that they're willing to give their lives for it. It sounds nice and good, but it borderlines insanity. The most basic human instinct is survival. The weak mind of many fanatics is due to their ignorance. Many extremists were also held under tight riens as a child, depriving them of the chance to learn and grow. When they got older and began to venture out they had no way to deal with it. Their minds were thrown into confusion and chaos, so they retaliated against the things they did not understand.

in no way, yet i think it incredibly is amazingly probably that intense leaders have psychopathic personalities. psychological ailment like schizophrenia is amazingly distinctive to being a psychopath, which isn't a psychological ailment. somebody who's a psychopath is in many situations very manipulative, impulsive and has no remorseful approximately, they do issues for his or her very own gratification in spite of whom they could harm interior the approach. Psychologists have in many situations speculated that some worldwide leaders and bosses of massive companies could have psychopathic personalities as they in many situations have 'provide up at no longer something' attitudes as a fashion to get what they choose. I dont think of intense religious leaders easily have faith there is an 'evil', i think of they are desperate for administration and absolute skill and in addition they control others into believing there is an evil that could desire to be abolished. the folk they have manipulated are the suicide bombers and extremists we hear approximately regular. The leaders use those human beings as their weapons to earnings skill. those bombers are neither psychopathic nor schizophrenic, they are in simple terms confident that what they are doing is the terrific element and that it will help their families and destiny generations. to look at it from yet another occasion yet the place there is the comparable tale is the Manson kinfolk (Charles Manson). so some distance as i think Manson himself killed no-one yet manipulated others into believeing it grow to be the terrific element to do and ordered them to Kill Sharon Tate and others-it is amazingly equivalent to how suicide bombers become, different than on a smaller scale. in simple terms is going to show that a psychopath can control even the main conventional of folk into committing heinous crimes for them, it incredibly is why we could desire to consistently no longer condemn all the muslim inhabitants-in simple terms as all human beings at the instant are not Charles Manson, all Muslims at the instant are not Bin Ladin. all the right.

have you ever heard of the gnostics? I think they believe that jesus is a part of us and that he was not a literal person. there are a lot of people I know who believe in both evolution (to different degrees) and a god.

Can a girl be somewhat pregnant? No, of course not. She is either pregnant or not pregnant. Same with the question of God's existence.

If you insist on your standpoint, you're an extremist too.
