WOTMQ: Religion Makes God Stupid
This is a brief semi follow-up to my "Religion Makes People Stupid" series. That's how powerful religion is — it can make all-knowing, all-powerful, all-loving Beings look like absolute morons. That's some powerful stuff!
I can see this one turning into a series too. Although, I've started out with the most important example. Everything else is kind of meaningless after you've thought about this one. If you have suggestions for additional episodes in this potential series, let me know.
Thanks gang! More to come!!! B

Excellent thoughts! Unlikely, that any theists will attempt to counter your points. Other than, god made it this way 6,000+ years ago, but will have no answer why we can be happy & have free will in heaven & can do no wrong, except Lucy & god, and yet on earth we have free will & can do evil.
The god is supposedly omniscient and knows the future, yet still makes mistakes and knows regret.
Suspicious, right?
He's so stupid he doesn't even know he's stupid —as John Cleese points out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvVPdyYeaQU
Thanks for the link!
Or what if. whatever created us in this random petri dish accidentaly fell into a black hole (unmarked hazards as they are) and our petri dish spins unwatched in space. The gravity of which we will never know.
Anything is more likely that the Bible story of our creation.
The utter banality of religious belief is stupefying to me...
The more you think, the more absurd it becomes.
Suppose for a moment that it's all true. There's God (the HMFIC of reality), and Lucifer (the Enlightened One, Father of Lies). Based on the evidence presented, one would be forced to conclude that the entire Bible is actually the work of Lucy. There's no prime source evidence to back it up or even any reliable secondary sources. Yet people believe it as if it's as solid as a gold brick. Lucy is the biggest most brass-balled conman in the universe. If it's all real, then your only choices are to believe Lucy's lies, or to be on Lucy's side. You're damned either way. Can I get an "all right, all right" for atheism and the clarity is brings in opposition to all this mythical insane mumbo-jumo!
That's awesome. And she is in the details. So that makes perfect sense.
