Whatever happened to the leprechauns? #fundie religionethics.co.uk

Thanks to what I suspect is your Gododgery we are are now talking at cross purposes.
The only points I am making is that the existential stakes of various beliefs are different.
If Kevin the pixie is true then by rejeccting him all I face is not having him provide honey for my toast.
If I reject what some claims of God claim and they are true I face self alienation and alienation from all.Those are different stakes if true.
All positions regarding any belief are themselves beliefs but they do not hold equal existential stakes.

To believe that there is no self to exist and so all existential thought is meaningless is a belief position which has a low existential stake
since there is no self to be existential...on the other hand it could be a philosophical ''put up job'' to avoid ''commitment'' to a more comprehensive existential position.

Bluehillside is fundementally asking us to believe in the elephant in the room of no Gods on a belief position which has low existential stake.
