What do you think those who replied to the thread did mean by expressions like "delusion of a sky-daddy," "magical sky fairies," and "magic bullshit"?

That there isn't any credible evidence supporting the existence of god(s).

Your position is that they were literally introducing the subject of fairies and magic, and letting theism pass without comment?

I think they were equivocating the existence of god(s) to the existence of fairies and magic. They all belong in the group of things that have no evidence that they actually exist.

So the person who referred to "magic bullshit" has just formed no judgement one way or the other about the existence of magic and God alike?

That person is saying that under trying times some people will believe in anything if it comforts them.

And you think that by equating theism to "bullshit," what they meant was that it may be true but there's just no evidence?

[–]stp2007 0ポイント1ポイント  (17子コメント)

I think by equating them to bullshit they meant there was no evidence. Putting it in the same category as fairies, leprechauns, Bigfoot, and other creatures imagined, even believed in, but with no evidence they exist. This includes thousands and thousands of other gods that people throughout history believe existed.

That is not the ordinary meaning of bullshit, is it?

Definition of bullshit: foolish insolent talk.

Foolish is definitely applicable to belief in creatures imagined, even believed in, but with no evidence they exist.
