He was actually a fraud who copied his work from a young Atheist Black woman writing a thesis under his supervision. Shortly before publication he quietly had her lynched.

its almost like, peoples beliefs are formed from reciprocal interaction with the world around them, but thats impossible. surely their culture and social rules had nothing to do with their religious convictions.

I'd be more concerned by the fact he literally starved to death because he thought all of his food was poison.

Even if he was right about everyone trying to poison him it probably would've been a better idea for him to find a way to get nutrition from hunting or farming directly himself instead of just giving up on eating altogether and ending up dead at the maximally hungry skelly weight of 65 lb.

It was a joke, implying that the food in the US is bad

>>Later in his life, Gödel suffered periods of mental instability and illness. He had an obsessive fear of being poisoned; he would eat only food that his wife, Adele, prepared for him. Late in 1977, she was hospitalized for six months and could no longer prepare her husband's food. In her absence, he refused to eat, eventually starving to death.

True, i think he believed the God religions present had been taken advantage of for the personal gain of the religious institutions. But he knew that the universe needed a start and God is a highly logical explanation.

Observation.

You can claim that god created that shit, but from what we observe there are few signs for and many against.

If there was a god and or gods then they don't follow the most of the common narratives.
