God almost certainly does not exist.

"Almost certainly" implies that it is impossible to completely disprove the existence of anything. If you don't believe me, try it. Try to disprove, without the shadow of a doubt, the presence of the spaghetti monster. But, when someone proposes a claim, (God exists), it is entirely their responsibility to PROVE that He does, rather than the atheists response to prove that He doesn't. What if I was to say that the spaghetti monster is invisible, takes up no space, and is everywhere at the same time. And made everything and is everything. Why? Because over 33% OF THE WORLD (that's 2.1 BILLION people) believes a book that says so. Out of 4,300 known religions in the world why do so many people pick Christianity? Good question. Let's have a look at some facts.

You cannot prove that the great spaghetti monster does or does not exist.

Science, however, can be proven through research, logic, and mathematics. Or, just pure reason and common sense.

Most Christians take the Bible quite literally. This must be very difficult to do because it was written so long ago and life was very different back then. Most people had farms and raised cattle. Crucifying people was considered normal for those of different religious convictions. (This hasn't changed much, unfortunately. We won't kill you anymore, but we will take away your job, family, friends, and dreams if you don't conform . =D) If you are a Christian and you do read the Bible and take it literally which is most likely the case, I suggest you ponder over this:

It is impossible to get into heaven.

Why?

Just read the Bible.

I want you to examine 8 passages in the Bible. (By the way, I'm using the King James Version – it is most widely accepted. Little known fact: King James was a homosexual. Tell me, is it frightening that an atheist knows the Bible better than you do?)

First, let's turn to Luke 10: 25-28

"And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

He said unto him, what is written in the law? How readest thou?

And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live."

Simple. Love God. Love your neighbor. You will have eternal life.

2. Luke 18:18-22

"And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? None is good, save one, that is, God.

Thou knowest the commandments, do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.

And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me."

Allright. Do not commit adultery. Do not murder. Do not steal. Do not bear false witness. Honor your mother and father. SELL EVERYTHING. You will have eternal life.

(Most of these rules are codes of ethics which practically everyone of any faith follows. But, when it comes to SELLING EVERYTHING, I know of no Christian who is willing to do this for his/her beliefs.)

3. Luke 14:26-33

"If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,

Saying, this man began to build, and was not able to finish.

Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.

So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple."

Hmmm. Now God is telling you something completely contradictory. HATE your father. HATE your mother. HATE your wife. HATE your children. HATE your sisters. HATE LIFE ITSELF. Give up everything. Do any of you Christians who claim that your faith is based on love believe in this? I didn't think so. …It gets better.

4. John 6:53-54

"Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."

So now we have to EAT FLESH and DRINK BLOOD in order to redeem eternal life. But Jesus is supposed to know what He's talking about because He is the perfect man…

5. Matthew 18:2-3

"And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

And said, Verily I say unto you, except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven."

Now we have to "be like little children" in order to go to heaven. How does He mean this?

6. John 3:3-8

"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Nicodemus saith unto him, how can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit."

Now we must be "born again". Many Christians are simply brought up in a Christian household. What about them? Are they sinning by not denying Christ only to be "born again"?

7. Matthew 5:17-20

"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."

Okay. So your knowledge must surpass that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law. Be forewarned… there are a total of 613 laws in the Old Testament – many which involve animal sacrifices, etc. Do you follow these also? Another good point. How can you "be like little children" and be wiser than the Pharisees?

Last but not least.

8. John 3:16 (I'm SURE you've heard this one before.)

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

God is giving us lots of conflicting information here on how we are supposed to get into heaven. Here's what all 8 of these Bible passages add up to:

Love God

Love your neighbor

Do not commit adultery

Do not murder

Do not steal

Honor your father

Honor your mother

Sell everything

Hate father

Hate mother

Hate wife

Hate children

Hate life itself

Give up everything

Eat flesh

Drink blood

Become like little children

Be born again

Your knowledge surpasses that of the Pharisees and teachers of the Law

You will have eternal life

Are you willing to do all of these to enter the gates of heaven? Is it even possible?

Go ahead, look it up if you don't believe me. I'm sure you all have Bibles. I do. I've read it many times.
