Op ED On Pat Robertson, Fallacy Files.

I don't hate God as a claim.

I dislike god as a fictional character, in the same way as I dislike Dolores Umbridge of the Harry Potter series, thus it has little impact on my life. As for the concept of god as a real being, well, I cannot hate something that doesn't exist, now can I? When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

If Harry Potter were believed by a majority of a population as being a real super hero, I don't think you'd be saying that. The fact that this website even exists is a testimony for the need of questioning ALL god claims, because of the geopolitical implications worldwide. To say you cannot ever be affected by the actions of others is absurd. Context. God does not have an affect on humans, true, anymore than pink unicorns do. But humans who hold these beliefs as fact DO have an affect on others.  (August 7, 2012 at 9:26 am)Tiberius Wrote: I don't hate God as a claim. I don't hate "god" at all. God is just the fictional villain of some very bad literature. I do regard people who chose to follow him as a bunch of cunts. Including Pat Robertson but he is merely an extreme example of a very common failing among the religious. Overwhelming stupidity.

Hah, have you ever met Harmony-shippers? I have.  Quote:To say you cannot ever be affected by the actions of others is absurd. Is there an echo in here? You clearly missed my point (or then I was unable to express myself eloquently enough), since this was essentially what I meant. I am well aware of the fact that all human beings have an impact on my life. When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human.

Steady on there mate,the bible is like the curate's egg; parts of it are excellent; OK, ONE part; "The Song Of Solomon". The rest not so much.  PS for the Americans; "the curate's egg" is a literary allusion.
