BS proof of God's existenceArgument From Fermat | 1. | My proof is so big it doesn't fit into the margins. | | 2. | Therefore, God exists. |
Consider thisI've had people say to me, 'Look at the sky, the fields, the ocean, the beautiful sunset. Isn't that proof positive of God?' I reply, 'Following that line of thought, look at the magnificent rainbows after a big rainstorm. Isn't that proof positive that God is gay?' Ray Romano

The more I look at religion, the more I dislike it and what it does to the world and its people. This blog will help you understand why religion is something you shouldn't accept as a good thing in our lives. Above all, don't respect religious beliefs when their practitioners refuse to respect you.
Just a couple of things about morality. - The Bible says that Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. So even if we are atheists shouldn't we still know what is good and what is evil? Since everyone has that knowledge now, at least according to the Bible, why do we actually need faith in God to have an understanding of good and evil, ie morality? If the snake-and-apple story in Genesis 3 is true, we don't.
- Even though I am an atheist, I act in a moral way. I don't steal, murder, rape, etc. In fact on the whole I behave pretty much like any law-abiding citizen of any Western democracy. If I'm an atheist how can this be? Well, I'm assured by some Christians that although I don't believe in God, my values are still taken from Biblical teachings because I was brought up in a Christian society. Therefore I still follow the moral guidelines of Jesus.
So, we have the Bible, we have morality. We have people who don't believe in God and Jesus who are still behaving in a moral way. Why then does anyone need to believe in God to be moral? If the book itself is enough for us all to be moral, then surely faith in God isn't actually very important at all. If every good Christian stopping believing in God overnight, they would instead become good atheists. Likewise atheists who become Christians don't automatically become better people. There are good and bad people of all faiths and none.
The world is not going to fall apart just because there are more and more atheists in the world. Whether someone believes in God or not is not the reason people behave in moral or immoral ways. Why is it that Christians don't get this: you don't need to believe in a specific doctrine to be a moral person. You just have to read about The Golden Rule to realise that.
