Why god does not “exist”

God does not “exist,”at least not in any sense of the word “exist” that we could mean anyway,  because he preceded and is alleged to have created all of existence itself, from absolutely nothing.

Yet Christians argue that a perfect being would have to be a being that actually exists (because a being that doesn’t exist would be less perfect than one that does), while at the same time arguing that god is not a material being, which is why science will never find him no matter how hard it tries.

This then is the mind - body problem of god.

Our mind is immaterial, but has a material brain from which it emanates and through which it operates. But god is said to be purely an intelligence that “designed” existence and everything in it. 

God then wrote a book about it, according to Christians, that was worse than anything ever written by Stephen King, where he tells us nothing about how he did this or why, but only about how he sent his son to us to murder, to forgive us for being overly curious in the first place.

But I digress (and often).

The point is that Christians wish to claim that god exists even though he is immaterial. And the miracle of faith is to simply “believe” this is not a contradiction,  even if they can’t clearly explain why.

Why Christianity is More Unnatural Than Homosexuality

I grew up in a family that is about as homophobic as Phil Robertson and the Westboro Baptists, only they're not quite as boisterous about it; at least not in public anyway. They have also conveniently convinced themselves  that their homophobia is really just their unique Christian ability to "hate the sin, but love the sinner" (even though these very same Christians adamantly refuse to accept that people can "hate Christianity, but love the Christian").  The sexual superiority complex necessarily relied on by such Christians is, of course, blanketed beneath the lambs wool of the Christian humility of serving "God." They interpret their fear of those who are different, in other words, as simply proof of their intimate knowledge and love of God. And the only thing such Christians are more sure about than that their own personal version of "God" exists, is that such a "God" would never want people to be homosexual - no matter how ma...

Why Are Republicans Pro Life?

Most people don't realize that the Supreme Court has been in the hands of the Republican party since at least 1970! In fact, even in the landmark case of Roe v Wade that legalized abortion, SCOTUS was inhabited by 6 Republicans and 3 Democrats, and the vote was 7 to 2. One of the reasons is that the Republican Party has absolutely ZERO desire to win on the abortion issue. And that's because abortion gives the GOP a clear focal point with potentially unlimited organizing power. And it's an even simpler message to sell than religion, since we are "pro-life." (if that was true, however, they wouldn't be actively trying to repeal healthcare for up to 30 million Americans, nor would they be so pro-gun, pro-war, pro-death penalty, pro welfare cuts, pro- social security cuts, pro- drone strikes, etc). The Republican party officially became "pro-life" in 1976, thanks to Jesse Helms (R-NC). The only reason no serious challenge was brought within the pa...
