we're discussing that there's nothing convincing about it, not why people believe it.

Maybe not convincing for you and me, but for believers. As evidenced on this thread. And if the believers' beliefs make them happy and are convincing to them, there is no reason to do anything against them.

You just justified rape, being in the kkk, doing meth, and anything else that people say makes them happy.

No I didn't. Learn to read. Then you'd see that I wrote that being happy is a justification for one's beliefs, as long as it does not impact others.

Being happy has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not something is true or justifying participating in it.

So what?

And the thread topic is that there is nothing convincing about the existence of a god.

Again: Not for you and me, but maybe for others.

I don't know why you're talking about people being happy at all.

Because I believe that happiness is a valid goal in life.
