When you look @ the history of what we know about the world, you see a
very noticeable pattern. Natural explanations of things have been replacing supernatural
explanations of them. Why
the sun rises and sets? Where thunder and lightning come from? Why people get
sick? How the complexity of life came into being? I could go on and on and depending on your view is more or less
complex than the questions I asked. I often wonder how we could come up with
explanations for the sun rising and setting and things of that nature, but not
be able to explain how or why we allow the short comings of ‘Christians’ to make so many of us feel like we are not human. What happens when they are asked to
prove the existence of God?
They use all the bogus
catchphrases, the sound bites, the emotional punches-to-the-gut to solidify the
existence of God. But can I ask, why
does God need arguments, anyway? Why does God need people to make his arguments
for him? Why can't he just reveal his true self, clearly and unequivocally, and
settle the question once and for all? If God existed, why wouldn't it just be
obvious? It is not up to the Atheist to
prove that God does exist. It is up to theists to prove that he does. And in
the absence of any genuinely good, solid evidence or arguments in favor of
God's existence (and
in the presence of a whole lot of very solid arguments against it) how can they
continue to hold the null hypothesis of theism: that God almost certainly does exist,
and that it is completely reasonable to act as if the Atheist is wrong? So as ‘Christians’ further perpetuated through fear, intimidation, tradition and social
pressure, I fail to see how asking an Atheist to believe them until
they get pie in the sky.
The extremist takeover of Christianity has now brought about its own downfall. As they have flexed their power, they have also bred disenchantment. As they feel threatened, their reactions become even more unrealistic and unreasonable. They have so twisted the basic truths about Christianity that many are increasing skeptical as to its true meaning. Their half-truths and outright lies have fueled the growth of agnosticism and atheism.
ReplyDeleteALTHOUGH I HAVE BEEN RAISED TO BELIEVE IN GOD...IM STILL PUZZLED ABOUT THIS WHOLE ORDEAL.
ReplyDeleteI was born and raised in the catholic church. I left the catholic church at age 15 after taking a comparitive religions class as a sophmore at a catholic high school. In my junior yr I fucked my girlfriend at the time on the alter table at the church I once attended. By the time I got to college I was a declared atheist. Since college and to this day I have less than no respect for god/jesus, churches, religion and all the bullshit that goes with it. I just don't give a fuck about any of it.
ReplyDeleteROGER: YOU'D THINK THAT THEY'D REALIZE BY NOW THAT THEIR HALF TRUTHS HURT THEIR CAUSE BY NOW BUT...
ReplyDeleteSHAR: I GET WHY YOU ARE PUZZLED, THAT MEANS YOU ARE QUESTIONING THINGS.
ReplyDeleteANON: NICE TO KNOW THAT WE WERE RAISED AS GOOD ALTAR BOYS! SEX ON THE ALTAR? THAT GIVE ME THE TINGLES ALL OVER, I CAME CLOSE TO SEXUAL ACTIVITIES NEAR THE CHURCH AS WELL. THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENT!
ReplyDeleteThe belief of God is more so FAITH. At times your FAITH in something can't be realistically proven, but its just THERE.
ReplyDeleteSIR ESS: I TOTALLY GET WHAT YOU MEAN!
