Your God …

January 27th, 2010 · 1 Comment

Yes, I mock your god, because your god is a false god. Yes, YOUR god.

Your “truth” is a self-delusion. You reject any rationale that leads to a contrary conclusion that the bible may not be truth and that god may not exist. Instead of reconciling and addressing contrary conclusions, you reject them out of hand because they don’t fit your deeply held belief.

Your “love” is a coin into the vending machine of redemption. Your purpose for “saving souls” is to save yourself. Your concern is not for your neighbor, but for your own advancement.

Your god is the stillborn idea of a primitive mind. Insofar as primitive minds could not understand the workings of the natural world, the explanation of a mythical god was sufficient to assuage the human fear of the unknown.

Your god is a comical, simplistic caricature of the worst aspects of human nature. This is the god that embodies pettiness, egotism, pride, and jealousy by reserving his most vengeful wrath for those who don’t believe in him or would speak ill of him. This is the god that demands daily worship. This is the god that demands offerings. This is the god that is greedy to want more souls, more belief, more supplication.

Your god is an excuse for you to treat your fellow man with inhumanity. Man’s inhumanity to man is somehow justified when one can find a rationalization within the pages of whatever dusty script one calls “holy.”

Your beliefs make everything smaller, more contaminated, more poisoned. This isn’t about Christianity only: Islam, Judaism, Hinduism … the whole lot … they are all equally a pestilence of the mind.

“‘Do not flatter your benefactor.’ Say this in a church and it immediately clears the air of everything Christian.” –F.W. Nietzsche, Die Fröliche Wissenschaft

    I find the hypocrisy of the practitioners of religion offensive, but no more so than the general hypocrisy that seems to generally infect the human condition.
    Your criticism seems bitter & deliberately phrased to inflame.
    What’s up with that?
