Natural explanations to former supernatural ideas

[The Grand Nudger]

Fun game....

"Immensely powerful ghosts set law by fiat"
"Human beings , therefore law"


-"Agriculture, because curses are really real!"
"Agriculture, because we're hungry"


-"Black people, because satan"

"Black People, because melanin"


-"Pain, because you're a sinner"
"Pain, because it's head is -slightly- wider than your orifices"


-"Bears eating children, because God"
"Bears eating children, because they're easier to catch (and also, because bald people look unappetizing)"


-"Plagues, because of angry gods"
"Plagues, because of pathology"

Like, maybe... Jesus "heals" people. This could sometimes be explained by the placebo effect, a rush of adrenaline that fools the person and those around long enough to think they are cured. It still goes on today sadly with things like "the Lightning process" for ME. Fucking con, it's disgusting.

And, err.... yeah. The sun standing still thing almost certainly just didn't happen. Like many other things in the bible, a story only.

I think that the languages and the demon possessions are the 2 best I have heard so far. Some people seem to confuse miracles though and natural phenomenons. Like is it probable that a man could walk on water? No, but if this was the son of god it might be. So yes, you would have to presuppose a god for many of those miracles to be possible. What do you think about when the bible mentions the earth hanging upon nothing? In Job 26:7

The scary thing is, we still have gullible people like this today.
