GOD

God, as generally defined is a superpower that controls everything. God judges rights and wrongs and punishes us accordingly. Oh, by the way I forgot to mention that god also allows us free will.

I as an Atheist do not believe in god. Let me first explain what an Atheist is. An atheist is a person, who through the empirical evidence available to them, through logical reasoning independently arrives at the conclusion that a superpower as described by the many religions of the worlds is not possible.

Why do I think that god does not exist? Simple take two of the powers that are ascribed to god. The age old question to which no answer been given is “Can gods create a rock so big that gods cannot lift it?” No one has been able to successfully as of yet to answer this question. (The question was originally raised, I believe some time during the middle ages in Europe.)

Another argument is if god is omniscience, then god cannot be omnipotent. The reasoning goes some thing like this: Suppose god changes god’s mind over some issue, then god cannot be omnipotent as god would have already known that god’s mind is going to change. But if you say god does not or cannot change god’s mind over any issue then it means the omnipotent power is lost.

One more logical inconsistency with god as generally defined is that, if god is all good then why is there so much evil around? Why is there hunger, poverty, disease? Don’t tell me that all these are there as punishment. Because if god truly created us all, god would not wish us to suffer, at least everyone I know wouldn’t want anything they created to suffer one bit. Another answer given is that, we remember god only when there is suffering. So, god wants to be worshiped even at the cost of pain to its creation?

And they say that god will punish you if you don’t worship god, follow god’s guidelines. So in what way is the god you define any different from an autocrat?

Lets us come to the question of how god allows us free will yet controls all our actions and oh yeah god punishes us if we do “evil” by choosing the wrong choice of actions among all the choice that were presented to us in the first place by god.

How can you control everything that a person does yet give them free will? On yeah that’s because god can do thing that are incomprehensible to the human mind. Please………..

And, I forgot the icing… Take any book on god and you are most likely to see god referred to as a “He” and never as a “She” or “It”. This is true when we speak, we generally use the word he except when of course referring to a goddess or some gods that have an animal form.

How is it that you people decided that god was a male is something that escapes me. And also how is it that most representations of god are in a human likeness? You say god cannot be seen, only felt and yet all your representations of god are in human likeness and especially a likeness to male human.

And I could go on and on…But I will stop here and provide you a link to a George Carlin video on Religion that is damn funny.

And I would suggest reading "A God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins. Because it is a good read and is a beautiful book on religion and god and written in such logical manner that i coule never achieve.
