>why do you assume i'm an atheist?
I didn't say you were anything. I only said what you swayed me to with your ironclad reasoning.
>and yes, picking a specific religion to believe in is highly absurd and surreal. you have completely mistaken the map the for the territory.
Well, the word religion comes from "re+legere" which means to follow a path that was laid out for you. So, when someone chooses a religion, he is looking to the founder of the religion and declaring that he wants to follow in his footsteps. For me, my religion is what you have argued for, which is to denounce religion and become an atheist. You, the founder, Anon, paved the way for me to know that it is absurd to choose a religion. I was dazzled and so I had no choice but to follow in your footsteps and declare the path of complete irreligiousness to be my own. It doesn't matter what you personally are, of course.
>imagine if you knew no religions, then you knew all of them. do you suppose christianity would stick out as true or something?
No, I would choose Anon as true. I don't need to know the rest of them, since they are probably innumerable, and because I know from first principles that they must be absurd due to the quantity of the whole lot.
>there is obviously no reason to believe what you believe unless you were taught it. i assume your parents subscribe to the same story. or if they dont it was coincidentally dominant in the culture you were brought up in
My father is a devout Catholic, and my mom doesn't care much. I wasn't really forced any way or the other. I became interested in Philosophy and Religion right around that hopeless age of ~17, after about 4 years of being an atheist vegan, and so I made the most embarrassing mistake of my life and I chose to "major in general studies with a concentration on Philosophy and Religion" since my uni didn't have a major for it. I learned about all sorts of schools of thought. (comment too long.)
TL;DR: No. It's all absurd
