this is true. but to many religious people, to accept this basic idea is equivalent to disrespecting their faith.

Which is the sad part. My argument is not to disprove someone’s belief or get rid of religion, rather, it’s to promote acceptance. I think humans have an inherent need to believe in a deity, or something larger than themselves. Religion won’t be eradicated. Acceptance and tolerance might be.

Proving existence of God is as difficult to prove as proving existence of pain except that it truely exists and can very well be felt by the one who experiences it. Likewise, same can be said about feeling of happiness, sorrow, or anger.

Pain can be measured, or verified, by changes in the nervous system or in the brain. Sorrow, pain, happiness, are associated with activity in certain regions of the brain. If we consider happiness to be a “thing”, then of course we can’t see it. If happiness is a state of being, then it can be observed in humans. Belief can be seen, but it can’t be verified.
