Reasons that i choose to be atheist:
1. As stated before i believe nothing of this universe, or henceforth multi-verse is superior or inferior to me.
2. There is to much suffering going on in this world for there to be a god who supposedly cares for the things he created.
These aren't in any particular order.
3. There are fanatics in every religion. so we can't have peace as long as a people fights another people based on whether there god is superior to the other people's god. This forces me to not want to pick a side.
It is true that i am merely a fanatically atheist if you can be fanatical about believing in nothing.
4. As my girlfriend would say there are two things. God and religion, they are not one thing, many misconstrued the two as being one thing. This is why i am forced to state both that i can not believe in a superior being or inferior being and number 3.
5. I have a Jewish outlook on things, John Stewart's example on a Jewish outlook is pessimism. I will give you an example of my over-analyzing mind that simple says that there is no god; lets take a collection of human tragedies lets say the holocaust, inquisition, crusades, and gladiator fights where Christians of the cult of Christianity were thrown into the coliseum's pit as lion food; and then lets ask where was god? All the people who died during these battles claimed to be the chosen ones. Why didn't god protect his so-called chosen ones? it was written in the Torah that the Hebrews alone were the chosen ones. Some Christian fanatics say they are the chosen ones and some Muslim fanatics say they are the chosen ones. if you use Occam's razor 3/2-1 is the only reasonable answer and since they are all integer's that means the answer can only be an integer, so the answer is 0. thus I have proven that there is no god because no one is special; we are all equal. I have proven through math that we are all equal, thus my statement of equality holds.
6. Christian's use a circular fallacy in their explanation to me when i pose the question: "convince me, why must god exist?" That fallacy is he/she must exist because it says so in this book written by our god through some humans. PLEASE THINK BEFORE YOU TALK because you can not prove that god exists through stating it is in this book it is written by god.....hold it you just tried defining a word by saying that word again. How do you know your god wrote this book. it seems to be a collection of human opinions mostly male opinions "women must remain quiet at all times except when men are speaking to them"-paraphrased from your bible. why don't you follow everything the bible states as fact? Because you are human and human's tend to disregard the meaning of things and replace it with there own sudo-truth. if you don't know what sudo means GO LOOK IT UP ON GOOGLE. i am really tired of discussing this with fanatical Christians that i yearn for the sweet oblivion, I hear it tastes like pleasure....jk peace out!:P
Your third point, about the fanatics, makes me sad. People who act like fanatics ruin their cause's reputation, whether it's a religion or something else. But I've known far more people who ran charities in the name of their religion than I've known people who would kill for it.
ReplyDeleteFanaticism is not an exclusively religious phenomenon, and not all religious people are fanatics. I don't think the presence of fanatics is a good reason to denounce all religion. If there were no religions, that type of person would just find something else to fight about.
I know a lot of ppl who run charities too. they pocket some of the cash. i know a lot more ppl who would punch me or harm me in someway for talking badly about their god or religion.
ReplyDeleteI know that. There are ignorant fanatics in ever group of ppl. From the liberal minded hippie on the news ranting about how other countries don't do this or that. To the conservative right wing homophobe ranting about this and that. they are in all walks of life.
then we squash the something else that they have to fight about until there are no more things to fight about.
