I think what disturbs me most about a lot of the religious right whenever they debate atheists on the existence of god, is that a lot of them are so incredibly desperate to get to the 'Yes, a god exists!' conclusion...

But not for the sake of their belief.

It's NOT because it means that we can understand the universe and ourselves better, or that we can make life better for everyone because of it. ➡️

They wish to assert their conclusion; so they can then relax, & say, guilt free: "And that's why women need to be slaves in a kitchen with no goals or dreams of their own"; or, "And that's why LGBT+ folk aren't allowed to be a part of society"; or, "And that's why we need to treat children like they're 'mini mes' that have no identity or interiority of their own!"; or, "And that's why we should be allowed to completely trash the Earth with no regard for other species, nor even ourselves!"
