Why God Doesn't Exist - A Response - Comments

PREACH IT (no pun intended)

@ January Rose
There is no simple answer, but I will answer it to the best of my abilities. Remember: we have to find this shit out an experiment and study, while all you people have to do is "Oh, God made us :)" Without any work.

Okay, so the theory is that, millions possibly billions of years ago, there were two planets; Earth and Athena. One day, their orbits crossed, and Athena--being smaller than Earth (about the size of Mars)--crashed into Earth. This caused a lot of displacement, introduced trees or water or whatever to Earth, and the moon came into being.

With water, came amino acids, which are the basis of human organ tissue.

Through millions of years of those amino acids slamming together in the oceans (which, back then, the weather patterns were very different and very aggressive) an organism formed; and through Evolution, we're here today.

It's very ignorant to say "No matter what PROOF," because, when proof against God arises and becomes fact, it shows that you're too stubborn to accept it as proof BUT IT'S FACT. There is no denying it.

This brings me to the point of sexism - it's kind of symbolic that god took a rib from Adam's side, because it represents the intended equality between the sexes. If he would have created her from his toe hair, then obviously she would have been beneath him. She wasn't made from his head either - she's not above man. They're equal. A lot of the sexism seen in the Bible is due to the society involved. It's not a sentiment - the Bible never says that women are not to be educated and are to be men's slaves. It's the societies in which it went on in. God doesn't necessarily look down on women. Women have always been looked down on by human kind, even to this day. It's just not until now that we've been getting rights and shit like that.

1 Timothy 2:12 says: "I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, she must be silent." This shows that the Bible is sexist. You can't deny that; it doesn't matter what the woman derived from, it could also be a symbol that women come from men, therefore men own women because, well, the first woman came from a man. That all lies on your interpretation.

More sexist passages:

3:16 Eve cursed with painful childbirth and domination by husband.
4:19 Man marries two wives.
5:22 Wives submit to husbands.
12:13-19 Abraham prostitutes wife.
20:2-12 Abraham prostitutes wife – again.
25:1-6 Keeping many concubines is OK.
20:17 Wife as property.
21:4 Wife and children belong to master.
21:7-11 OK to sell daughters. Female slaves can be used for sex. Polygamy permitted. Unwanted female slaves can be set “free” without payment of money.
12:1-8 Childbirth unclean, Women need to make atonement after childbirth.
15:19-32 Menstruating women are unclean.
21:9 Burn daughters.
1:2 Census lists only men – women do not count.
5:11-31 Fidelity test for women only.
30:1-16 Woman’s vow invalid unless approved by her father or husband.
31:17-18 Kill all except virgins. Keep virgins for yourselves.
20:14 Take women, livestock as plunder.
22:13-21 Stone non-virgin bride.
22:28 Rape victim must marry rapist; rape victim’s father compensated for depreciation of his property.
25:11-12 Cut woman’s hand for touching foe’s penis.
5:30 Women are spoils of war.
14:20 Samson gives wife to another man.
16:1 Samson visits prostitute.
5:13 David took many wives and concubines.

I'm sorry, but I disagree with you on this. I believe that God exists, no matter what proof people may have that he doesn't. And I have a question for you, if God doesn't exist how are we here on this Earth right now?

@ semolina
I know it's such a funny image!
And thank you! I also admire you for making your blog first, it takes a lot of balls to up-and-say "God doesn't exist," because people will get asshurt and be all like, "omg u don't know that!!!11!!!11 ignrant smH"

I've been in a Christian home since I was 8 and, not to be rude, but this blog is rather ignorant. I don't believe in god - at least, not the one in the bible. But I do recognize that some things you addressed you don't obviously have a good knowledge of.

As for the universe being fixed on earth, that was a Catholic, medievel belief. I just studied that in school not two weeks ago. It's the reason why Galileo got out under house arrest - he recognized that the sun was the center of the universe, and that went against tradition. That was back in the 1500's. As a matter of fact, the bible (written 2000ish years ago) contains a verse that states the earth is round, which is completely contradictory to the times it was written. It's really not scientifically incorrect, unless you're absolutely convinced that evolution and the Big Bang account for the creation of the world.

Eve being created from Adam's rib is supposedly proof of god's power - almost like a miracle. He's described as being able to do anything, so it wouldn't be past his abilities to preform an act like that. (The whole bible is based on God's infinite power - Jesus dying and rising again, the World-wide floors, the Tower of Babel, etc).

I'm not defending the Bible. As I said, I'm not a Christian and don't believe in god. I'm just pointing out things that are incorrect about your statement. But as for God being merciful, loving, forgiving, just, etc, that's where I find the biggest flaw in the Bible. Crime against the innocent seems to be the biggest contradiction that links the bible to modern times. People want to tell me, "Things happen for a reason," or, "It's all in God's plan," but you know, it's not that easy to say such a thing when your child is kidnapped, your wife is raped, the neighbor's house gets broken into, parents get killed by drunk drivers, etc. (Just making examples).

So yah, sorry for the long comment.

I'm laughing so hard imagining a fucking rib morphing into a girl.

Also, I ADORE YOU FOR THIS! Thank you for not being full of shit and dancing around your points like 99% of people (especially on here) do. This basically explained everything I was too lazy to type in my blog lol.

(Sorry, did not mean to post twice)

I do firmly believe in every word the bible says, but I also do believe that homosexuals should be allowed to marry and be with each other and all of that, so maybe I am a sect? Considering I don't agree with that, perhaps I am a bit of a sect? I just believe in God, and who knows, maybe you are right. Maybe there is no God out there, who knows.

@ foreverandalone;
When you say you're a Christian, do you mean you believe every word the Bible says, or that you picked what you thought was right (rendering your religion just a sect of Christianity)?

If you're a solid, set-in-stone Christian: Being a female and a member of that religion is very stupid by my opinion, the Bible says that women shouldn't be educated and that they are less than men and that their periods are suffering for Eve's sins. It says that men shouldn't listen to their wives and a shitton more about the subject of female inferiority (which I completely disagree with; everyone is equal). Being female and a stone-cold Chrisitan is a really stupid choice to me.

If you're just a sect: Good for you. This blog was just meant to highlight the issues I have with the stuff that is usually left out. Since you're a woman, I'm going to assume you left all of that sexism out. (Though, in my opinion, there isn't a good and it's very foolish to believe in one).

I wish you could have been a little bit more polite about this. I'm a Christian and am a very firm believer in God. I believe he is real and here, but hey.. if I'm wrong, it's a chance I'm willing to take.

Excatly why I'm wicca. Good points.
