Evidence for religion

Belief is in your head. If it helps you then all good but the trouble comes when you/ your religion try and force your beliefs on other people.

Every religion does it.

Is there a man in the sky? Nope. That would be madness. Was there a Jesus? Yup but not the miracle man. That was just propaganda. Bit like Hitler.

What does it matter whether it gives us comfort? If we take comfort from things that aren’t real and we know it isn’t real, then we are kidding ourselves. To hope our friends are in a better place is a defence mechanism to deal with death. If our loved ones are there then we could go to.

Here’s how I see it as an atheist.

My mum and my dad aren’t dead. They look back at me everytime I look in the mirror. Every time I look at my brothers, my children, my siblings children. I see them, I hear them. I see their humour, their strength, their values. As long as I am alive they’re alive. And even when I am dead they will on in our children, as I will.

Love this life, be a good ****. This is it. And it’s a trillion to one we are even here. Or more actually.

So we are not gone and that’s it. We live on in our family. There’s no man in the sky. But there is the wonder of the universe and how we are a part of it that can understand so much of it. I think that’s a gift. We aren’t pessimistic, we look at the truth and even when that can seem bleak, it’s not, and even if it was, is pretending that we go to a place where we all reunite the answer?

For some yes. Not for me. I prefer to accept the situation. Plus, if god did exist and decided to put in an appearance, I would tell him to go fuck himself for standing by and allowing so much cruelty to happen.

If you read his book and that’s really how he us, then even if he was real I wouldn’t even like him, never mind worship him.

When my boy was a baby he needed a small op. Nothing serious, a wee hernia. Fuck all. I was worried sick. On the day after his op he was down in a ward that had about six kids who had leukemia. The wee darlings broke my heart, I felt for their parents and I knew at that moment there was no god. To make children and their parents suffer like that. And if he actually did exist, I would fucking hate him.

Also, all atheists aren’t a homogenous group. We are all different, the only thing that unites us, is agreeing there is insufficient evidence to believe in god. Whichever one you care to mention.

What a pleasantly refreshing view.

Not bad for a **** like you young Pole ;)
