Because religion is laughable

Richard Dawkins on Religion

What worries me about religion is that it teaches people to be satisfied with not understanding

Jesus, Help Me!

The silent heavens, so deaf to our frantic pleas, almost as if there were nothing there.

God prefers unbelievers

I'm starting to prefer the ones who don't believe in me.

Thought and Prayers

Instead of sending thoughts and prayers, why not do something useful?.

Smite him!  But Sir, you already smote the sh*t out of him.  There's nothing left to smite. He can only move his eyelid, for f*ck's sake.  In fact, you might do more to prove your existence if you healed him,  Now that would be really cool.  There is no God! - Funny Stephen Hawking Denies God Joke Picture -

Richard Dawkins Atheism Quotes

Dawkins All Atheists Quote Picture
Richard Dawkins Quote - We are all atheists about most of the gods societies have ever believed in.  Some of us just go one god further.

"Science flies you to the moon. Religion flies you into buildings." 

"By all means, let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out." 

"I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world." 

"Religion teaches the dangerous nonsense that death is not the end." 

"I don't think God is an explanation at all. It's simply redescribing the problem."

Jerk Satan or God?

Who really was the jerk, Satan or God?

After all, who orchestrated the whole freewill experiment, knowing full well, being omniscient, what the terrible outcome would be?

That would be God.  The rest of us, including Satan, are just acting out our parts.

Scientific Proof God Exists

Seriously,  before we get to the question of God's existence, we need some definitions; because for the question to even make sense, the individual terms need to make sense.  We cannot ask, "Is proposition P true, if P is in itself a contradiction."  Which is why we are not reasonably allowed to ask silly questions like: "Can God make a rock so big he can't lift it?"

So what of the term "God"?

Even if we pick just one of the many definitions proposed by religion, e.g. the Christian one, we still have a being that: exists apart from existence as we know it; is both one and three beings; predestines (or preknows) what we are going to do, yet alleges we have free will; seems to be at odds with himself; and demonstrates inconsistent, psychotic behaviour.  In other words, a very paradoxical being indeed.

Christians like to refer to this paradox as a mystery, but that's just wordplay.  I don't think the question "Does God exist?" can be sensibly asked.





Where Are The Miracles?

I fully accept that if there were gods that they would be able to do "miraculous" things, and that if these things were done in days of yore that they might have been written down as eye-witness accounts.

But what bothers me (apart from the diverse and internally inconsistent nature of such accounts) is that since the timing of salvation is clearly not an issue (many people died before the salvation event), why could this event not have been delayed until a time of scientific and rational scrutiny?

The fact that these reported events occurred at a time of general illiteracy is suspicious if nothing else.

God's Plan?

Funny God's Plan - Girl looking at 9/11 crash picture - Did God cause this, or allow it?  Is He any less responsible for just allowing it?  Does the End justify the means?
God's plan: the mysterious balance between the prescriptive and the permissive will of God, the paradox of predestination and freewill.

But let's take a moment to look at this "free" will.

According to Bible, we have free will.  The idea is that God did not want robots - he wanted his creatures to choose him.  So in the Garden he placed the hapless First Couple, and told them not to touch that awful tree.  They disobeyed of course (as any parent would have predicted), and were promptly evicted from Paradise, along with us descendants.

Then God the Beneficent sent His only Begotten Son to die for us, to provide a way back to his Bosom.

Glory!   Hallelujah!

But... for those who still reject him, Hell awaits, which by all literal accounts is a very nasty place indeed, where the disobedient will suffer immensely and disproportionately for all eternity.

So, even if we were truly free to choose, which I doubt, given the inescapable cause-effect chain of our environment and genes, what sort of psychotic choice is that?
