God is everywhere but...
March 12, 2013 at 2:43 pm
I've been thinking alot lately about the minute little details that xtians get into to try to prove the existence of their god.
They say god is everywhere, but you cant see him anywhere unless you know how to look. Science proves god if you look at it through this particular lens or interpret it in this particular way.
I guess the point is that, if god is everywhere and in everything, shows up in science all the time, has left all these obscure little clues to his existence and readily opens the door if we only knock, then why is there even a discussion here? Isn't this god so obvious that we shouldn't even have to have this discussion?
I can't understand why, if this god is so obvious, the xtians try to find all these twisted, obscure ways to prove he exists. It seems a bit silly and self-defeating to me. If you have to work that hard to prove something exists and you still fail on an epic level, at what point do you start to question all of this nonsense and begin looking at real facts and evidence to find out what the truth really is?

You've closed your heart to god, like duh, obviously.

......the place you happen t be looking at any given moment, much like your keys - I wonder how many people find god at the exact moment that they find their keys?

Everyone has a cell-phone with a camera nowadays.
No videos of god on youtube.

What sort of evil god would handicap each succeeding generation with more and more knowledge that points to its nonexistence than in previous times?
Seriously...
God certainly used to be everywhere, in all the good and the bad. He was responsible for disease, earthquakes, famines, floods, storms, etc. And also in bumper crops, great weather, in peace, in health. It was easy to believe in a god that was so obviously responsible for all that.
Each time some phenomena that was previously explained by 'God did it' becomes explainable via natural processes, we become more and more handicapped.
How is it not evil that God would select some to be chosen to be thick, & others to be cursed with a skeptic brain? isn't this the epitome of preselected discrimination?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

The whole idea of salvation via an omniscient god is ridiculous. god knew I would be an atheist and therefore knows I am going to hell but made me anyway. What a dick!
