Default Re: The Anguish of Semi Believers.

Its not just that different people have different views about god but that no-one has any real idea what they mean by god (or by eternal, divine, heaven, hell etc).

When someone claims to believe in god its not obvious that they mean anything at all. Belief in a religon is different but doesn't require any real beliefs about god, rather religon encourages you not to even think about it and just accept some interpretation of the words in a book.

And those who aren't sure don't need empathy because its empirically clear that most are not troubled in any way.
