Father Christmas

Posted by cabalamat on 2007-Dec-22

Something that’s just occurred to me:

Adults who believe in God are arguably about as intellectually mature as children who believe in Santa Claus. We don’t let children vote in elections, on the grounds that they are too intellectually immature to make good decisions on how the country is run. So, should be let adults who believe in God vote?

    [...] Cabalamat reckons that people who believe in God are “about as intellectually mature as children who believe in Santa Claus”. Elsewhere, Bookdrunk thinks Mr Clegg should have stuck to his original concise answer instead of expanding on it later on. [...]

    Funny. Why do you think “God” is supposedly beyond human definition? It’s a dumbass contest of spurious statements anyway. Presumably you will agree that, based on past experience, you expect the sun to rise in the morning.
    You do realize that’s “Faith”, right?
