FUCK EASTER / PASSOVER
April 5, 2015 at 11:51 am
I think this guy is a bit weak in his atheism but still, a good article.

Quote:6 unlikely developments that could convince this atheist to believe in God
Quote:The whole reason I don’t believe in God is that there is not one scrap of good, solid evidence supporting the God hypothesis. The whole reason I don’t believe in God is that every piece of evidence anyone has ever shown me in support of the God hypothesis has completely sucked. The whole reason I don’t believe in God is that these criteria — criteria that would be completely reasonable for any other hypothesis — are not being met.
As many atheists point out: If God were real, we wouldn’t be having this discussion. If God were real, it would be freaking obvious. If God were real, nobody would be an atheist. Nobody would even disagree about religion. The most obvious explanation for God’s existence not being ridiculously self-evident is that God does not exist. As Julia Sweeney says in her brilliant performance piece Letting Go of God, “The world behaves exactly as you expect it would, if there were no Supreme Being, no Supreme Consciousness, and no supernatural.”

Well, he's stating the obvious and we had many pointless discussions about it already. What he didn't say is the fact of scientific knowledge being in stark contradiction of the god claim. Especially when it comes to the age of the universe and earth and evolution.

Yep, good stuff.
Any theist who truly believes God is looking out for them all the time won't last long. Not if they live anywhere near a road.
The fact that God is "obvious" is pretty much a statement that all atheists are stupid and/or in denial. When something actually is obvious, like gravity, then you don't get such a split of opinion.

With christards you have to hit them over the head with obvious at every opportunity. Dumb fucks just don't learn.

Bah, I wouldn't buy any of them because they are all subject to the whims of Descarte's demon.
Nope, God is going to have to raise me to a power level where He can't pull the wool over my eyes.
Good luck on that one God.
Passover, isn't that the day that we celebrate the genocidal deaths of all the Egyptian babies?
What a waste of good protein.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?

Are you really any different from them?
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

He is, We have science to back up our positing. Theists have superstition and good vibes and also a huge lack of evidence.

Poor, polecat. Still holding a candle for absurd fairy tales.
Time to grow up, lad.

and 40,000 different takes on all their non-evidence too.
(and that is just in the Christer orbit)
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

It's like dark matter. The evidence points to something. like dark matter, the claims fall short when people start describing exactly what it is. like if somebody claimed it was free neutrons. And if you don't know what you don't know then it's all bullshit anyway and doesn't matter. You would be a a-darkmatter person.
