The God of Abraham’s not a shit,
He’s just a myth that doesn’t fit,
The modern world because we know
Too much.
I wondered how I could have been so blind
Genocide and slavery
Gaslighting and rape
All sanctioned, even ordered
By this God of perfect love
Arbitrary punishments
Capricious twists of fate
Hypocrisy, failed prophecy,
Sadism and hate!
The devaluing of woman
Only useful when they breed
A receptacle for callous
Selfish men to sew their seed
And I realised in trembling fear
Shredding many a heartfelt tear
That this hateful God was far from good
No one with integrity could
Support its vile crimes
The superficial nonsense that passes for morality in the Christian worldview just won’t cut it in the real world of human distress and actual desperation.
Having spent the last 30 odd years of my life dealing with ACTUAL suicidal people – not the imaginary ‘armchair’ kind Dennis seems to be thinking of – I just had to respond.
The superficial nonsense that passes for morality in the Christian worldview just won’t cut it in the real world of human distress and actual desperation. The fact that Christian doctrine can add insult to injury so callously is just one more piece of evidence to demonstrate how utterly broken and immoral the Christian worldview truly is!
You invalidate humanity, Personify hypocrisy,
As hymn by hymn, And prayer by prayer,
You smugly sit, In your armchair,
While others do the work you claim,
Can only happen in your Jesus’ name.
Have you no shame?
You say I can’t be moral without God, ‘Cause I don’t pray.
Wittering about “Where the saints have trod”, Or so you say.
Denying my compassion, Like it’s going out of fashion,
You invalidate humanity, Personify hypocrisy,
As hymn by hymn, And prayer by prayer,
You smugly sit, In your armchair,
While others do the work you claim,
Can only happen in your Jesus’ name.
Have you no shame?
He is risen,
Alleluia!
He’s not dead,
The Pastor fooled yer
He is risen,
Alleluia!
He’s not dead,
The Pastor fooled yer…
If I said I’d risen from the dead you’d say I’m playing games, If I claimed 500 witnesses you’d want to know their names.
If you want to convince me that something is true, If you’re making the claim then the burden’s on you. If I said I’d risen from the dead you’d say I’m playing games, If I claimed 500 witnesses you’d want to know their names. And if I said God wrote my diary, I’d anticipate inquiry. How you’d react to my diary, Is how your Bible seems to me. Of course, my diary’s bollocks, as you knew, As to the Bible, the burden of proof is on you!
The Christian moral compass only points back to the Bronze age!
You say that you have morals, But you don’t,
You claim I have no conscience, And you’re certain that I won’t,
Know right from wrong…
One of the silliest questions asked by theists: Can atheism explain why is there something rather than nothing?
An old mate of mine asked…
“Can atheism explain why there’s something rather than nothing?”
I was surprised because he’s a bright guy. One of the most intelligent lads in my old Grammar school as it happens. And yet his question was so ridiculously stupid I could hardly believe he’d asked it.
However, since it’s not uncommon for atheists of less intelligence than him to ask this same question I put my answer into a video so I won’t need to keep typing out the answer every time some theist presents the question as though it’s some sort of ‘gotcha’.
Spoiler alert… it isn’t.
I’ve been an atheist for 30 years. But then I came across the Kalam cosmological argument presented by Willian Lane-Craig. It changed my life!
All decent people loathe the things you do in your God’s name!
I neither hate nor fear your God, but here’s the real shame: All decent people loathe the things you do in your God’s name!
I CAN ACCEPT SOMETHING THAT MAKES SENSE AND I CAN ACCEPT SOMETHING THAT EITHER HAS EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE OR WORKS IN PRACTICE.
I CANNOT BELIEVE SOMETHING THAT NEITHER MAKES SENSE NOR HAS EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE.
I was challenged in a FaceBook group recently to discuss a series of points pertaining to religion, atheism and the philosophical bases of each.
Unlike the majority of these requests, things like
“Give me scientific proof that you’re an atheist”
which are too ridiculous to bother making a video about but this one was different. This demonstrated an intelligent approach apparently genuine issues that my interlocutor actually seemed to be serious about – and not just another theist troll.
