I am not familiar with the term qualia, I assume it is some form of qualities. I looked it up on wiktionary and it suggested a quality that cannot be expressed numerically. But just reading it I can guess that it is probably some reference to a spirit and/or will of some sort...
So... this is my effort to translate the post in question"
I think that 'All matter has spiritual elements' is the best solution to the perception of spiritual elements.
Spiritual elements make no sense in the absence of a guiding agency.
Therefore god exists.
The nature of existence is hostile to its spiritual elements, therefore the guiding agency is not benevolent."
But this is just guessing, I don't want to try to speak on other people's behalves.
My problem is that I am more familiar with christianity than anything else, so I am more able assess it. If anyone contributes a justification then I would be happy to debate its merits...
I think the reason people believe G-d exists is this:
"When I die, I will still live. Dying is a scary thought."
But that really doesn't correlate to a god at all. If you believe that you have elements that will persist after you die than you should attempt to improve those elements, not simply bind yourself to some arbitrary dogma...
What part of common human experience suggests that doing what something tells you to do now will cause it to look after you forever? And why are so many people willing to accept being looked after in this way when it pretty much ensures that they will lose all freedom?
Hinduism-a pantheon of gods, many of which are semi-animals with many arms! Plus when you die, you come back as something/someone else based on your karma!'
Based off of that alone...
Okay, so there are a bunch of bestial gods, am I supposed to care about this for some reason?
So I die and become a cockroach, or a microbe, with no knowledge at all about any alternatives. That doesn't sound so bad...
Buddhism-no gods, just spiritual enlightenment (nirvana). Reincarnate until you reach this point.
I thought that buddhism included a whole bunch of stuff, some of which accepted the existence of gods. But going from this description, it sounds to me like buddhists are trying to jump the queue. I prefer a bit more morality in my religion...
Shintoism-mystical spirits inhabit all things, and if you treat them well will give you luck, etc.
Or you can treat them badly and make vast sums of money and hire people to kill everyone you don't like. I would be more convinced if they made more of an effort to make ignoring them a bad idea...
Atheistic Satanism- believe Satan is a symbol of human traits, not a deity. Focuses on empowering yourself to live a better life instead of preparing for a better afterlife.
Something more specific than "better" would be nice...
No matter how much better you make your life, the entirety of your existence will be insignificant.
Try and tell me you have anything against THESE religions. I'm pretty sure you only have problems with Judeo-Christians.
As I say, I don't have much experience with these and other religions, but if anyone wants to try to justify them, I would be glad to try to justify them to myself...
