Theism Soothes the Existential Angst
Posted: Sun Jan 01, 2023 3:41 am
It is impossible for God to exists as real.
1. An Existential Angst exists as real in ALL humans.
2. Theism [God is Real] relieves and soothes the Existential Angst immediately.
3. For majority of theists, God must exists as Real [absolutely perfect]
P1. God [is real], must exists imperatively as absolutely perfect
P2. Absolute perfection is an impossibility to be real
C. Therefore it is impossible for God to exists as real.
For details re P1 & P2 [labelled differently] see;

3. For majority of theists, God must exists as Real [absolutely perfect]:
otherwise, there is no God to suppress the inherent existential angst and one will suffer the terrible mental angsts, pains and sufferings.
Most theists will deny point 1,2 and 3 above, because it is not obvious to them; the reason is the existential angst is suppressed by inhibitors* at the conscious level, but very active at the subliminal levels of the mind.
It is the subliminal impulses that drive the majority to theism.
* at times the inhibitors are weaken and one is made conscious of the existential crisis but for normal people, this goes away quickly; this suppression is necessary for humans to lead a normal life without consciously worrying at all times and being paralyzed by it.
