The Circular Reasoning of Religion

Religion is reducible to a system of circular reasoning, and nothing else. Hell means God is the only one who can save you from God.


Think about it - what is the biggest incentive for believing in God?


Some might say "to live forever in paradise." Well, okay, that might be nice. Maybe. But anyplace you're "stuck" in for eternity sounds like it would it would eventually start to feel like hell. Maybe that's why Lucifer and his minions wanted out.


But the bigger reason seems to be to avoid Hell.


But why the hell would God ever create hell in the first place? Because he knew he would one day create people that he also knew he'd have to throw into hell?


Why bother killing everyone with a flood, then, if by doing so you're only ensuring they all end up in hell that much sooner?


And who created hell again? Oh, right. God did.


So, the whole reason for "believing" in God is because NOT believing in God means that God will send you to hell?


So, God is the only one who can save you from God?


If God created Hell for people who failed to "believe" in him, people he had placed into a universe where there is not a single shred of evidence that indicates that there is ANY God at all, let alone a very specific kind of Christian God, then why the hell would there be any need for a Devil or demons?


I mean, if just NOT believing in God is enough to get you sent to hell forever, and since there's literally NO evidence of God ANYWHERE in the universe (sure, we can always find a way to interpret evidence to suggest there MAY be a God, but never enough to KNOW it - which is why religion is called 'faith," not FACT), then the whole system is set up for one exclusive purpose alone - it's a mind experiment.

Basically, if life is about "testing us," then we have to wonder what the "creator" gets out of testing us. Perhaps the "creator" is simply a machine, a computer, an artificial intelligence, that has created us, to learn from us. "It" is learning from us the way doctors learn from studying insects, or cancer, or bacteria, or a virus, or anything. 

For us, then, reality is simply Chinese water torture, in other words, for each of us to see just how long we can "believe" something despite the worst that existence (ie.God) can throw at us. And if you crack, or fail for a single second to believe (especially at the second of death) you win a glorious eternal stay in an Auschwitz  oven.


God is good.
Amen.

Why Ben Shapiro is Wrong About BLM

If Ben Shapiro really wants answers to his condemnations of BLM, he should start by reading a few books, and then some. For example, he can find all of the answer's he's looking for in: Slavery By Another Name , by Douglas Blackmon, which shows how "thousands of African Americans were pulled back into forced labor with shocking force and brutality," right up until the 1970s, when I was still in grade school. The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness , by Civil Rights litigator and legal scholar, Michelle Alexander, which explains how "mass incarceration" under the ruse of a War on Drugs, has effectively created a caste system that is as pronounced in America today as it was in the Jim Crow south, if not more. Ghosts of Jim Crow , which was written by Constitutional Law Professor, F. Michael Higgenbotham, which explains in great detail how "the shadows of Jim Crow era laws and attitudes continue to perpetuate insidious, ...

Father Mike's Omniscience About Transgenderism

The major problems in the world are the result of the difference between how nature works and how people think. Gregory Batson I f my perception doesn't match up with reality, it's not reality that has to change, it's my perception.   Fr. Mi ke Schmitz Despite the ever growing mountain of evidence about the nature of transgenderism, Fr. Mike Schmitz simply refuses to change his perception. And that's because his "perception," is not only based on nothing but his "beliefs," but because selling those "beliefs" is his one and only job! The problem, if he were truly trying to follow in the footsteps of Christ, is he would stop trying to sell people what he "believes" is the truth, and he would try to actually start trying to FIND THE TRUTH instead.  NOT DOING SO, however, is simply an act of his own spiritual pride, and nothing else. WHY DO CHRISTIANS PREFER THEIR BELIEFS TO THE TRUTH?  Probably because th...

The Height of Arrogance of Christian Humility

 "To think that the ruler of the universe will run to my assistance and bend the laws of nature for me is the height of arrogance. That implies that everyone else (such as the opposing football team, driver, student, parent) is de -selected, unfavored by God, and that I am special, above it all." Dan Barker, Losing Faith in Faith: From Preacher to Atheist (Madison, WI: FFRF, 1992), p. 109. What could be more arrogant than to believe in miracles? To believe that the supreme ruler of the universe has not only bent the laws of nature by which everyone else is bound, but that such a ruler did so as a special favor to you, and also as a special message and invitation to you, which that ruler intentionally withholds from everyone else.  Even the person who believes they know something is a miracle believes that their knowledge of miracles is itself a special knowledge, amounting to a kind of miracle in and of itself, that the God who performed the miracle bestows to his chosen ...
