My Little Freakout
Submitted by DrTerwilliker on November 30, 2007 - 5:52am.Today, I started thinking over all the obvious evidence out there in the world against the Christian god's existence. There's enough of it to convince just about anyone with an open mind and a basic understanding of logic. We have the apparent malevolence of God all throughout the Bible, the clear dilemmas created by his very rules for mankind, the vague, crazy, sheer stupidity of "God's Word", the proven ineffectiveness of prayer, the overwhelmingly numerous religions which people submit to with the exact same devotion as Christians do theirs, the proven scientific facts that clearly contradict the Creation story, and on top of all that, the absolute absence of any real evidence for that god's existence. I was going over it in my head, thinking about how I could present it to a Christian, imagining myself delivering the most eloquent, rational, scientifically sound argument against their God I could ever be capable of. Imaginary me was doing everything right, asking the right questions, allowing the Christian subject to draw his own conclusions, not being to pushy or condescending. Then I imagined that I had my fundamentalist Christian parents as subjects.
