Ontological Argument for God’s Non-Existence v. 0.5 beta

Posted in Apologetics, Uncategorized on October 2, 2009 | 4 Comments »

The greatest being imaginable would have the power to make itself not exist. The only way to demonstrate this power would be to actually do it. Non-existent beings cannot make themself exist once they stop existing. Therefore, this is why God no longer exists. Checkmate! – Josh This is quite tongue in cheek.

Oh shit, I didn’t realize I was still so tied up mentally due to Christianity until…

Posted in Leaving the Faith on September 29, 2009 | 16 Comments »

Leaving the faith is like untangling Christmas lights. You suddenly find, in your moment of need, that the one thing you neglected to deal with is now your biggest problem. Next thing you know, you are reviewing every single light bulb to see which ones are broken while unraveling miles of endless cord. And just [...]

The Funk of it All

Posted in Christianity on September 24, 2009 | 4 Comments »

I put the phone back on the receiver with a hesitant click. Did I really almost end the message with “In Jesus’ name, amen?” Could I seriously be praying too much?

Glancing to the other side of the room I once again fell back into my mind. The thoughts haunted like an itch on the brain that you are desperately trying to scratch, but cannot. Flooding in were the doubts, the questions, the wondering at my every action and thought. Was it a lie if you had honest intentions at the time? Did you need to confess it?

An erection during church service. The horror. Every small slit of cleavage told a story of a young man’s temptation. Except for Mrs. W… I hope God doesn’t put me with a woman like her. How does her husband do it… do her. But God probably will. God knows best and often what we think is best for us is not what is best. Doubtless I would end up with an ugly woman, just so God can teach me how to be thankful for what I have. I wonder if it is all the same in the dark. I wonder what a vagina looks like. What do you call a vagina anyway? I know on men it is called a penis, but dad only explained to me what an erection was and didn’t tell me what sex actually was. I’ll bet I could find a picture of a vagina in the dictionary if I knew what it was called.

Flipping the pages one by one, each one falling with a thump that was only matched by a beat of my heart. Thump. Thump. Thump. B. r. e… a… Jesus wouldn’t want this. Jesus is watching me. Oh, how I love you Jesus, but I am dying of curiosity. A footstep upstairs. What if I was caught with my erection up and my hand on a picture of a naked woman? Lust is sin. Slide the dictionary back onto the shelf, Josh. There, Josh. Thank you Lord for helping me resist temptation…

If this means that tigers used to be gentle vegetarians, then does this mean that squirrels used to be viscious carnivores? Fundamentalist Ideology: a celebration of the abnormal when it is convenient to them, a celebration of the normal when it is inconvenient to others. – Josh

This Sums it Up

Posted in Apologetics, Christianity on September 10, 2009 | 4 Comments »

“The Bible doesnt tell you everything, cause if we knew everything there wouldnt be much of a point for God.” Found in the feedback section of TalkOrigins. God = Unknown Therefore, we should not know everything and keep a healthy level of ignorance so that there is room for faith. Be willfully ignorant so that [...]

That’s What She Said

And I wake up in the night and feel the dark It’s so hot inside my soul I swear there must be blisters on my heart Surrender don’t come natural to me I’d rather fight You for something I don’t really want Than to take what You give that I need And I’ve beat my [...]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8232570.stm If whistling wings are an example of good design but the purpose of the design is to help pigeons avoid death, then does this mean that pigeons were designed for a world where death existed? Christian: Pigeons were designed for a perfect world where no death existed. If there was no death before the [...]

After an entire article explaining how Christians should defend themselves against complex arguments: “What people judge to be a fallacy often depends on their worldview. Consider this question: “Have you repented of your sins?” A non-Christian may consider this to be a [...]

NOTE: The following contents could be depressing… Well, it happened. My parents church has passed the brink that – in my mind – makes it a cult. Defining the line between normal religion and cult is difficult. I came up with this definiton: Cult: any social group that is more difficult to leave than the [...]
