I just can't resist knocking over sacred cows |
I get this thrown in my face a lot. Are you moral? Well, if I wasn't I'd probably try to deceive you. That's what Politicians do. I am moral. I believe in being skeptical. Wanting to believe in a God is just wishful thinking. Why should atheist obey the law? Because they want to raise their families in peace. This isn't metaphysics. Take a course in social anthropology.. The same social patterns evolve. The tribe helps its people defend themselves and provides greater resources .. The golden rule is "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." "If all of God's conduct is good no matter what he does, no one would believe that I am saying anything about God's conduct accept that it is God's conduct." Fredrich Hayek; "If someone kicks me down a flight of stairs, should I assume they love me?" I love this twist: "God gave us free will. Therefore, we are responsible for our actions. That's why there is evil in the world." Consider a burning building and an innocent baby is trapped inside. Any person, who had the power to save the babe and refused to help could not be called good. The fact the baby would go to Heaven does not make its painful death necessary. If we believed that good comes from evil, we could deliberately set houses ablaze to send the families to Heaven. The goodness of an all powerful God is not evident. It can only be discovered after death. Does God want us dead? I like Christmas .. I was raised to celebrate it with a spruce Christmas tree and a manger and an American Flyer train set. That's fun. I like watching It's a Wonderful Life. Jimmy Stewart is great. I wish atheist would stop playing the Grinch on Christmas. Let the Whos down in Who Ville have their fun. What is so awful about a manger? It's a sweet story, like the Jimmy Stewart film. Jeeze. I do not believe Jesus was the Messiah or is God. That just cannot be proven...factually. Jesus was a very good man and brave to challenge Rome. And like all good peaceful leaders he was killed. "A man's got to know his limitations." Dirty Harry: Magnum Force. This will piss off everyone: Iran must be destroyed and that means nukes. And that could be World War lll. I'm just saying if Iran gets nukes they will use them to kill us. Why do Iranians want to nuke us? God told them to. "You cannot reason with a fanatic." Winston Churchill. If enough nukes are exploded in the atmosphere the water in the air will vaporize and the sky will catch fire. Then, the oceans will boil and deadly microwaves from the Sun will cook the planet and every living thing will die. It's a doomsday scenario .. But, if the target is just Iran, it shouldn't be too bad. Most of the people in the Iranian cities would be dead, but the oil will still be good. The ends justify the means as a theist might say. It's ironic that all of this started from three closely related faiths. Sharia Law comes from the Jewish Torah. Get out your Bibles and read Leviticus and Numbers and Judges. There is a lot of stoning of heretics and adulterers .. The Angel Gabriel came to Mohamed and told him that he was the fulfillment of Abraham and Moses and Jesus. Mohamed captured Solomon's Temple and made the meteorite at it's center: Mecca. Now the conservative Jews want to take it back. Can you imagine what would happen if the Jews took Mecca? Very bad... But, God told them to. I hate to say this...but I must. It will take a miracle for humanity to survive this decade. Honest to God, I look at children and I don't see a future for them. We're running out of fresh water! How high can the deficit go? How much oil is there? How many wars can America fight? Its very bad, but the Bible tells us it will all work out .. for the Glory of God. That's a big kick in the balls. Oh, yeah! That's why I think abortion is a sacrament. It spares all those innocent children the nuclear Apocalypse. So, we're back to where is God? I'd like to think God is just sleeping. He rested on the 7th day. Maybe, he's still resting? Oy vey Marie! Have I offended everyone? Go to Wickapedia and look up Unicorns in the Bible. I thought Unicorns were mythical creatures. Sincerely, Muzzy |
