Proofs that God is imaginary

Looking back through history, it is clear that if an omnipotent God exists, he obviously does not care about us.

 

Ah my child... your suffering is good for you!

Just getting into the preist mood!

 

Just because someone will inevitably point it out sooner or later, and it might as well be me, that's pretty much a Godwin right there. In all fairness, the Old Testament god was a violent, genocidal, racial supremacist nutjob, but, still...

 

Random thought #8144723-C:

That the real world kind of sucks, is pretty much a given. Getting through childhood and school is no picnic, pimples suck, the police are always handing you speeding tickets, everybody in existence complains about their job ALL the time.....oh yeah, and at the end of it you're going to die.

With all the pain and suffering out there, why the hell are you CREATING NEW CHILDREN??? Jesus Christ, people, you know what your kids are gonna go through, and yet you just keep having them.

Why do you do that???

It was kind of a silly question, wasn't it? The answer is pretty obvious. And when you answer it, you've got the answer to those comments about how a loving God would cure cancer and whatnot.

 

Sucks? Compared to what?

 

It doesn't, though.

You just listed a bunch of crappy things about life, but there's a lot of awesome stuff that happens that makes it all worth it: your first kiss, bacon, roller coasters, love, steak, the beach, sex on the beach, japanese game shows.. need i go on?

 

Instead of arguing whether life objectively sucks, I prefer to use clinical depression statistics. For 10% of people, life subjectively sucks, oppressively so.

 

Nice law - one of the few which works on the .net

 

Another logic would be the same as Him washing the disciples' feet as a servant and subject Himself to authority like Pilate. The first shall be last and last shall be first.

 

It's fun xcl

 

Rationality is a tool of very specific but limited utility. Irrationality is unlimited in its scope and grandeur and has other important uses. Most humans put on a "rational" face in public, but favor their irrationality in private or among family and friends.

Reason (with passion) produces Bach. Irrationality with talent produces ...[insert you favorite rock band].

The blind men and the elephant tale comes to mind.

 

the correct answer is

5) Man felt the need to come up with an explanation for something he didn't understand e.g. thunder and lightning?

 

He would throw that under #1 I think.

 

BINGO.

Why did God perform an Act of Creation with pain and suffering in it?

Well, why do YOU do it? Why do you folks perform Acts of Creation?

Because IT'S WORTH IT, even if it isn't perfect.

 

Has it occured to anyone that our concept of God may not be the reality? There are hundreds of religion and each has its own idea of what God/s/ess/esses is like. God could be any one of those, and also Gods plan may be independent of what we wish for.

 

The bible never says: the other Gods don't exist, it just says that you mustn't venerate them - so it doesn't rule out hindu-style polytheism

 

it's Hindu not hundu

 

That was a typo - the letters are next to one another

 

oh... sorry
