Wow. there's an obviously false blanket statement.

Look, there probably are some people whose beliefs are just as literal as you always take them to be. And those people are obviously less developed in the use of human reason, though it does seem to make you feel like a big man when you point that out...

For the most part though, there seem to be vast numbers of believers who in recognizing that god is outside of human comprehension, actually end up believing some cool things and functioning amazingly well for society.

There will always be something we don't know, something more to learn. There will always be something happening outside of that narrow spectrum of existence that you recognise as reality.
Polymirize Reviewed by Polymirize on . How much further can you pull back? First God was in the sky. We explored the sky and learned what was really up there. Then God was in space, beyond the sky. We explored space and learned what was really out there. Now God is in another dimension? Come one. When we're able to explore other dimensions, where will your God run to hide from science?
