AngelThMan Wrote:God is not afraid of anything humans can throw at him. But he is God and therefore commands the respect of being treated and believed in like a god. A god doesn't make his presence known through clinical tests or scientific studies which would unequivocally prove his existence. If God did, he would no longer be a god. He would be a dictator, or a president, or a king. By definition, a god is a spirit which humans cannot see and must believe in solely by faith.
And yet, isn't this exactly how Yahweh behaves according your beloved bible? Worship me or else. This is pure meglomanic dictatorial behaviour. He desires worship, he demands it. Sounds like Yahweh has insecurity issues.
And the whole business about "faith" is just a lovely thing concocted by the religion to avoid having to deal with facts.
Consider. What are we really talking about here. A supreme being with the power to do anything it pleases. It knocked up a universe in 7 days, created a man from mud and a woman from a spare rib. Sent a flood to destroy most of the life on earth. Etc. I mean, really, a being like this has no need for faith. If he existed and wanted people to worship him, it wouldn't really be any effort to stick a big sign in the sky saying:
"I'm watching you all! Worship me or else i will fuck you for eternity."
But no, Christian's and their ilk spout this rubbish about god "testing" us, and "faith" is required.
Sorry, but i cry bullshit of epic proportions here.
Isn't it funny that according to your holy scriptures God was more than happy to manifest himself, directly make things happen, burning bushes that talk *cough*, etc, but for the last couple of thousand years has been absolutely silent?
Ok, here is an alternate theory, maybe you can have faith in this: God did exist, up to the point where Jesus was sacrificed. However, upon Jesus returning to heaven he said to daddy "Aw Pappy, they are a bunch of ungrateful twats. Let's bugger off to Alpha Centauri, the Centaurians really would appreciate us there." And away they went, and God has not looked back since.
A finite number of monkeys with a finite number of typewriters and a finite amount of time could eventually reproduce 4chan.
