God is real.

-- It's non-pragmatic, nor logical, to believe that there is a superhuman living in the clouds that determines our fate. Let's look at we know is possible. You and I both know that police officers exist. We both know that judges exist. We also know that lawyers exist. Those are socially accepted, recognized and respected careers. But, let's not let our imagination get too far ahead of us. It's a rather bold declaration that there is one being, so powerful that he controls all the universe and all of our lives. God is a creation of our imagination. To believe that there is something as powerful as that is non-pragmatic because the capabilities of said God, set forth by any religious text, are beyond the realm of natural capability. -- People who believe in God are afraid. They are afraid of life, afraid of the unknown, afraid of tomorrow and afraid of death. It is human's natural mentality to be afraid of death. Let's face it, just about nobody wants to die. But some people are so afraid of death, that they create an alternative reality. They tell themselves over and over and over and over and over... that there is a God, and once they die, they will get to live in Heaven, a place of bliss and eternal life. They tell themselves this so much, they actually begin to believe it. The plausible existence of God is a result of a scared person telling himself that "everything will be okay." When you die, you don't go to heaven. When you die, there is black. It is this acceptance of the truth that makes death less scary to deal with. -- If God existed, why would he let people fight over his existence? When people fight over religious "turf" or beliefs, they are practically saying, "My imaginary friend is better than your imaginary friend... now die." It is this fighting over which religion is the truth that leads me to my next point. -- How can somebody believe THE TRUTH when there are so many? There are hundreds of different religions spanning the globe. With each religion, there is at least one God. And do you know what each of these Gods are saying? They are saying that they are the one, only, true God. There is so much conflict as to which religion is right between these "Gods" that either they are really confused, or they don't exist. -- Each society has their own God that protects whatever it is that they believe. In America: God protects equality and life. In places in the Middle East: God protects sexual dominance and monetary beliefs. And I can prove that places like America have decided for themselves how or what God is. Whenever we go to a Christian church, unless that church is an Afro-American Christian church, we see a white Jesus. But there's a problem: Jesus was born in Jerusalem, making him one of the original Hebrews. Here's where the problem is: the original Hebrews were brown, very brown. So obviously, either Jesus lost some melanin somewhere along the line or the American society decided what he looked like to appeal to greatest number. -- Throughout history, we can look back at fascist or totalitarian government and see that people do not or are afraid to question authority. But why? Because they are either (a) afraid of punishment, may that be death, humiliation, or of the likes (b) have faith in the government. Pro-gov citizens in societies like that say to "not question" and "have faith" in the government. Who else says that? Scared Christians. Do not question God. Have faith in God. They are afraid of the hypothetical ("well if there was a God") consequences set forth by the Bible or other governing doctrine. I am against dictatorships because the rulers are too selfish. So, either God doesn't exist, or he is one stuck-up entity. Many thanks to whoever accepts this -- and good luck to them too.
