Questions and Answers about God |
- Q) So Marc - dude! Aren't you scared that you are going to burn in Hell?
A) No!
- Q) Are you absolutely sure? If so - why?
A) Yes - One must assume that if God did exist that he isn't a moron - isn't powerless - isn't a child murderer - doesn't have an ego problem - never required animal sacrifices - and isn't an insane crazy person
who reproduces by impregnating virgins. So - I think I'm pretty safe on this one.
- Q) So - if this is all so stupid - then why do so many people believe it? I mean - really - can all those people believe something that is that ridiculous?
A) Yes - that is what's amazing - that all those people can believe this? It's a scary thought. But - there are a lot of religions who believe a variety of bizarre things.Some people believe in reincarnation.
Many believe there are lots of Gods. Muslim are waiting for their 70 virgins in the afterlife. Humans are above the animals - but not that far above. We are still a primitive species who are controlled more by our fears
and our heard animal social instincts. These instincts are far more powerful than our logic and it tricks people into believing in things with no rational basis.
- Q) But - if Christians are wrong - so what? But if you are wrong - you burn in Hell forever!
A) If I'm right - and a person's entire existence is from birth to death - then Christians have wasted their entire existence on something that doesn't exist. If I'm wrong and the Bible is right - then Christians
spend eternity worshiping a madman. I think I've made it clear that I'm betting on reality. Reality is all we really have and if you miss out on reality - you miss out on everything. This planet is just a spec of dust
in the universe anyhow and we exist for but a flash of time so what does anything matter? But I'm going to take my little limited existence and try to at least understand what little I can about why anything exists. And
maybe get laid a few times while I still can.
- Q) But Marc - what about all this love I feel? My heart tells me this all is true!
A) Yep - and all the other religions on the planet have members who feel that too. So - whose religion is the right one? People who believe opposite things all experience God and love and emotions that cause them
to believe. Muslims and Christians go to war and slaughter each other both believing they are acting as God's proxy and with God's support. What it shows is how easily people can be suckered.
- Q) Why do you put down Christians and Jews more than all the other religions?
A) Because I'm more familiar with them and in America that's who surrounds me. I'm sure the rest of the world's major religions are at least as stupid - but I haven't wasted the time to learn them. I got better
things to do than to hang out with the Hare Krishna's.
- Q) Do you think there's any chance at all that some day you will become a Christian and get saved and give up your logic and accept faith and let Jesus control you?
A) None - however - if I ever do become a Christian then I ask that someone kill me immediately because if I'm right then I will immediately go to Heaven and live with Jesus. And if I'm wrong then I lost my mind
and I don't want to live as a brainwashed cult member of some extreme religion. And - since I'm asking to be killed before I get saved then it's not like I'm committing suicide. And - after you kill me you can get saved
too - and forgiven - so that when they execute you for murder - then you can be with Jesus too.
- Q) I was the sole survivor of a plane crash. I have to believe that God spared me.
A) OK - then you must also believe that God deliberately killed everyone else and that you are somehow better than all of them. Only the survivors tell their story. Wonder what the dead would say if they had a
chance. Of course - if you REALLY believed in God then only the unfortunate survive because the ones who die get to live with Jesus and the ones who survive are stuck here running the risk of ending up in Hell. I mean -
if you REALLY believe in Jesus then you want to die in that plane crash!
- Q) But Marc - if this limited existence is all there is - then life on Earth sucks!
A) Well - depends on how you look at it. It's not much - but it's warmer than Mars!
- Q) Marc - what makes you so damn smart?
A) I'm not from this planet. I don't know how I got here but some day a spaceship is going to show up and take me home. And all this will be but a dream.
