Religious vs Not Religious

Pansy pascals wager is ridiculous. Its like playing the lottery, Its even the lottery catch phrase too, "You cant win if you dont play" :) So while everyone and their buddy pascal are making irrational wagers based on a statistical improbability in the first place, I'll be a good human who is not only an organ donor, and philanthropist but an intellectual advocate with a perpensity to benefit children simply because I want to, Not because Im going to get a scooby snack when I die :) Let me give you an example of how pascal is a tard :) Who is god? How did you hear about him? Can I read anything he wrote anywhere? There are thousands and thousands of different "gods" to choose from, zeus, all of mythology, and all hindu gods, etc etc. millions What about thousands of years before the story of jesus. Dozens of "gods" all born on Dec 25th, all born of a virgin, crucified, dead for three days, resurrected, all had 12 disciples, and performed miracles, star in the east, known as lamb of god, king of kings, alpha and omega. Know your history, all these "gods" are from thousands of years prior to the story of jesus, yes thousands of years prior, this isnt a simple heads or tails here like pascal implies in his "wager" Lets say we have a list of all the gods that humans have believed in thruought time. zeus, horus, romulos, jesus, allah, attis, mithra, osiris, etc etc millions Next to each god there is a box to check "yes" or "no" for the ones you believe are real and the ones you believe are fairy tales. After we both turn in our lists, there will be a 99.9% similarity. We will both check "no" on all of them, except some will have one "yes", just one. So we are both atheist, I just went one god further and checked No, next to the slave supporting sexist! Many will say they are right because since the earth and all its creatures are so complex and diverse there had to be a creator. However, when we take that logic and apply intellignce to it, here is what they are saying: "The human brain is more complex than any supercomputer, so its obvious the reason for everything is going to have 12 disciples, 13 would just be stupid :) "The fact that we are the only creature that is as smart as we are obviously, and clearly shows that th reason for everything will be crucified and rise after 3 days, 4 days is just stupid :) "The earth is so complex and diverse, it couldnt have just come from nothing, therefore, jesus is my savior, zeus would be stupid" "If you have nothing, then you get nothing, so that automatically means that the reason for everything has a circumcision covenent with men, but no covenent of any kind with women" "Humans are so complex, look at the eyeball, our veins, everything is just right, so it makes perfect sense that life was created by a being who can convict you of thought crimes such as lust" "Proof of a creator is all around us, look at the irreducible complexity of everything, that clearly shows that the reason for everything must be loved, worshipped and obeyed or you are subject to an eternity of punishment while those who did get on their knees are fine" Since 1982, between 40% and 50% of adults in the United States say they hold the creationist view that "god created humans in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years" when Gallup asked for their views on the origin and development of human beings. As of 2012, the percentage of believers decreases as the level of education increases. Only 25% of respondents with postgraduate degrees believed compared with 52% of those with a high school education or less. A 2011 Gallup survey reports that 30% of U.S. adults interpret the bible literally :) I hear some parents teach their kids that the universe was created by a supernatural being that ordered people stoned, and organized a human sacrifice in the middle east to forgive mankind, have any of you guys heard about this? Apparently this "being", is very jealous and got upset once and threw a temper tantrum flood thousands of years ago, and if you dont love him, you could get a spanking :) Supposedly many experience the Stockholm Syndrome and worship this petty bully, weird huh? Gullible Nation: 1) Believes all planets, stars and galaxies were created by a being that organized a human sacrifice and resurrection in the middle east thousands of years ago :) 2) Believes denying humans equal marriage rights is ok because the reason for gravity is concerned :) 3) Believes that the reason for the sub atomic world of particles and DNA was all created by a being that knows how to keep slaves and told us how in his holy book :) 4) Believes that the reason for the earths rotation, is a being that helps Ray Lewis win the Superbowl but still allows birth defects :) CaptainObvious 6:2--Cherry Picking, because there isnt a better term to use for the selection process of the religious mind when it comes to beliefs and scripture :) BigKids 9:25--Atheists are just A-Santa Claus-ists, who continue to keep it real :) WAKEUP 8:12--The idea of an all loving creator sacrificing a son for our sins is driven by a wonderful sounding delusion of afterlife. Religious leaders simply prey on those delusions, why do you think they dont want evolution taught in school, who is scared of nature and the truths we know about it? :) Sweethearts 5:3--So the man took his concubine and sent her outside to them, and they raped her and abused her throughout the night, and at dawn they let her go. At daybreak the woman went back to the house where her master was staying, fell down at the door and lay there until daylight. When her master got up in the morning and opened the door of the house and stepped out to continue on his way, there lay his concubine, fallen in the doorway of the house, with her hands on the threshold. He said to her, "Get up; let"s go." But there was no answer. Then the man put her on his donkey and set out for home." (Judges 19:25-28) BetterHalf 3:11-- If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity--Deuteronomy 25:11-12 PettyBitch 1:7--This is what the Lord says: "Out of your own household I am going to bring calamity on you. Before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to one who is close to you, and he will sleep with your wives in broad daylight. 12 You did it in secret, but I will do this thing in broad daylight before all Israel."" 13 Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the Lord." Nathan replied, "The Lord has taken away your sin. You are not going to die. 14 But because by doing this you have shown utter contempt for the Lord, the son born to you will die." 15 After Nathan had gone home, the Lord struck the child that Uriah"s wife had borne to David, and he became ill. 16 David pleaded with God for the child. He fasted and spent the nights lying in sackcloth on the ground. 17 The elders of his household stood beside him to get him up from the ground, but he refused, and he would not eat any food with them. 18 On the seventh day the child died. David"s attendants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they thought, "While the child was still living, he wouldn"t listen to us when we spoke to him. How can we now tell him the child is dead? He may do something desperate."--2 Samuel 12:11-18 Pranks 3:17--Take some salt, pepper, hot sauce, or whatever you like to your catholic mass or other religous event and where you are given something to eat, put on your favorite condiment upon receipt of the offering :) WISHES 3:2--Remind everyone you know that if there is something we don"t know or don"t understand yet, it doesn"t mean that god exists. It just means that we have a lot to learn and to explore :)
