We always hear about the many amazing things that Jesus of Nazareth apparently did, but nobody ever asks about the things that Jesus supposedly COULD have done, being omnipotent, but either didn't bother to do or didn't think were all that important. You know, things like... reducing human misery and suffering... that kind of thing.
It occurs to me that if indeed the miracles recorded in the bible were in fact true, and really did happen... then that only shows Yahweh/Jesus to be an even MORE malevolent and cruel being than we see in the old testament, and that's saying something. If the miracles somehow prove that Jesus WAS in fact a god in human form, but all he could be bothered to do was turn water into wine and heal only a few hundred, or even a few thousand people with his magic saliva, then really - what is the use or good of such a god? Think of what a visiting, omnipotent deity COULD have done - but in this case, apparently, chose not to!!!!!
And this is meant to be that god's main advertisement of its existence! Walking on water in front of a few of his mates, for the benefit of billions and billions of people who, if they don't believe in his divinity and surrender control of their souls to him, will be sent to burn in agony for eternity.
People - DOES THIS RELIGION MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL?????
**** VIRGIN BIRTHS**** There appears to be some disagreement about which of the virgin births I listed are in fact accurate records of religious traditions, especially Krishna, Horus and Mithra. My main source for that list was : "Shaken Creeds: The Virgin Birth Doctrine, a study of its origin" (2003) by Jocelyn Rhys (Kessinger Publishing). Other sources were "God is not Great" (2007) by Christopher Hitchens (Published by Twelve), and Wikipedia. I have rechecked these sources in light of the disputes that have come up. I admit to the error of listing Krishna on the basis of the Rhys book- I misread the passage dealing with Krishna. A genuine mistake... However, Hitchens DOES list Krishna as having been recognised as being born of a virgin. Whilst I admit to the research error on the matter of Krishna and will take greater care next time, I put it to you that it still stands, that by NO MEANS WHATSOEVER was Jesus' birth to the 'virgin' Mary the first ever such miraculous conception ever recorded in a religious tradition. By the time the Jesus story was first written down, the idea of virgin deity-births was OLD, and had been done many, many times, and an omniscient Yahweh would have known this. Even if 50% of my list was put there in error, the point would still stand. *******************
Inspiration for this one came from a link I was sent, to a website called Ebon Musings. Check this link. A couple of things on this page stood out as so wonderfully and scathingly accurate, and got me thinking. http://www.ebonmusings.org/atheism/gu...
I'd like to say here that the first comment which included the word "evolution" came only 12 hours after the video was uploaded. Thanks for that, that's a new record. Let's see if we can get it quicker next time though, shall we?
PLEASE go and look up that incredible rant in Deuteronomy that I quoted at the beginning of the video. It didn't really relate to the theme of the vid but it is a fucking classic passage, of Yahweh the bitter, wretched, old arsehole in the sky, spewing his violent hatred of mankind into the faces of his dearly beloved "chosen" people. Deuteronomy 28. One of my new favorite bible passages.
Whoa, this one was hard work. I usually write scripts on the train on the way to and from one of my jobs, and I've been so busy with other things that I haven't allowed myself to sit down at home and actually finish it. Therefore the script has been growing and changing and developing for literally months, and the first take recording went for over 12 minutes! I chop chop chopped at it for a few days and got it under 9 mins. I could almost make a whole movie out of the out-takes!

True. That is the oldest "conversion policy". I hate to say this, but at least if my REAL life were at stake, I would convert to any crazy religion...officially. As it is now, I can't think of one logical reason to buy into such craziness.
you're going to just ignore your god? threre will be a time when you wished you had used your limited time on this planet to worship me. why do you have such little faith? what are you going to tell my father when you stand before him on the day of judgement and he asks you why you didn't worship me? i am pleading with you repent and follow me or i will be forced to not stop my father from torturing you forever. i am the true lord and savior because it requires the most faith to believe in me!!!
OMG! This I got shunned in church as a child by asking several of these questions! Once I heard that they believed that Native Indians who died before hearing the "word of god" would be spending eternity in hell; I became and stayed a non-believer. Personally, I always thought Santa was more believable.
I had a jehovers witness knockon the door some years ago... She tried to tell me I wouldn't go to heaven unless I repented and became a witness. I asked if her parents were JW. They weren't... but apparently that was ok because god wouldn't punish them because they had not known about the Jehova's witness faith, so it wasn't there fault. Cute, but by telling me about it - she could be costing me my place in heaven... bitch! Somehow, she didn't see it that way :-o
I know, what a bitch! They come and tell you a fantastic fairy tail, complete with all the scary bits and think that you should BELIEVE this nonsense simply because you have been told it. Well, I had heard a lot of fantastic stories as a child, and the christian one was much less appealing than the others. I couldn't imagine any group of people giving up their ancestral beliefs for this crazy story about a sadistic, stalking psycho god who kills children to make a point. Good thing its bunk,
