  • WTB Evidence

    Posted on June 16th, 2008 No comments

    I read a post and a thread on Reddit the other day that said that it’s not good to answer Christians with “there’s no evidence for a God” when they ask “why don’t you believe?”

    The answer instead should explain all the things wrong with their religion, yadda yadda yadda. So, here’s my answer:

    “I don’t believe in a god because there’s nothing that can only be explained by a god. Natural wonders, like life and stars and Neil Patrick Harris, have logical explanations built upon the study of the environment for hundreds of years. Further, groups claiming to know of a god have religious doctrines that are usually rife with contradictions (their god loves you, but you have that cancer for a reason) and laughable claims (lol, prayer). I’d rather not tell my son that my imaginary friend is more important than him.”

    I’m posting this a little earlier than I’d planned (I put off posting a lot…), mostly because the code in the post below screwed up the formatting behind the menus. So I’m pushing it down. Down

    Down.
