This is basically a follow up to God Is Evil.
There comes a time where most Atheists realise that once you’ve had one religious debate you’ve had them all.
I’m talking about the arguments you have where you’re presenting logical evidence that disproves the gods in every way except for faith – because that’s their last safety blanket they can hide under, telling themselves their whole life hasn’t been wasted worshiping a fake god.
Disregard all of those arguments, what I want to focus on is, if God is real, or Allah or whatever, then why do people dedicate their lives to worship?
Think about what they are pledging their individuality and eccentricity to. They think that a God who created a man and woman without and sense of right and wrong, damned them to a live of evil because they broke his law (even though they had no idea what the difference of right and wrong was – considering they had to realise they were naked after eating from The Tree of Knowledge).
God knows all past, all present and all future. He knows everything that is going to happen. He is responsible for everyone who goes to hell, and everyone who goes to heaven.
He says he gave us free will, but that contradicts that he knows the future.
He creates people who he knows will become Atheists, he dooms them to that fate himself.
He creates homosexuals knowing that they, by default, without any reason, will go to hell.
He didn’t make himself known to any tribes in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, New Guinea and other places, so they didn’t know of him, thus they couldn’t have accepted him into their hearts. He knew this, so he damned thousands, perhaps millions to hell just because they lived on the wrong continent, even though he put them there.
And then there is the part where he has to threaten everyone with the concept of hell itself. If hell didn’t exist, no one would care. Why would a god create a species that needs punishment by default? Because of the attributes he gave them whether it be sex, drugs, alcohol, basically anything that involves the pursuit of a greater experience, whether it be for happiness, or knowledge. And we all know God is the biggest fun sponge of all time.
If God made himself known to me, I would spit in his face. I’d rather go to hell than give in to a plan of that amount of evil.
I will now leave you with my favourite Bible quote:
Ezekiel 23:19-20: “Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. 20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. “
Awe inspiring stuff.
