Do We Condemn Ourselves?
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
(Hypothetically Speaking)
|
|
An Answer to that Age-Old Cop-Out
|
|
|
|
First off, know I am an atheist[and a Satanist, I will not
|
|
bother explaining to those who don't understand in this article]--I
|
|
don't believe in God. The purpose of this essay is to show the
|
|
nature of the Christian God concept, how flawed it is, how it
|
|
cannot make sense. Know from here on when I speak of "God" I am
|
|
speaking in a hypothetical, "let's say he exists" sense.
|
|
|
|
The first thought that made me question the Christian God
|
|
concept--"A loving god is not capable of condemning someone
|
|
forever" is often responded with something to the nature of "We
|
|
condemn ourselves. God isn't responsible." This is about the only
|
|
defense towards God's vengeful nature. That and, of course, "God's
|
|
reasons are beyond human understanding."
|
|
|
|
Here's an analogy--is an abortion doctor responsible for the
|
|
"crime of abortion", or does it all fall on the woman? Personally,
|
|
I'm impartial regarding abortion and its "moral questions", but it
|
|
seems most Christians are against abortion. Most would say the
|
|
doctor is "very" responsible--but the doctor doesn't make the
|
|
choice. The woman makes the decision "I will have an abortion",
|
|
she is not forced. [Once again, I am not condemning a woman who
|
|
chooses abortion.] Why should the doctor be held responsible? The
|
|
human makes the choice to "defy" god--to stop believing in him, or
|
|
not to accept him. The human indirectly might "condemn himself",
|
|
but who actually sends the soul to hell? God does the final act,
|
|
I assume, for what sane being would say "I was a bad boy, therefore
|
|
I will go to hell now." People might attack this analogy by
|
|
extending it--"But abortion doctors are evil!"--The question is
|
|
indirect or direct responsibility, not good and evil--"God is all
|
|
loving"--The point is not good or evil, remember--"God surpasses
|
|
logic and analogy"--Assuming we believe in your God, and what kind
|
|
of cop-out is that? Your god must exist for me to be condemned.
|
|
He is responsible, it seems.
|
|
|
|
[Someone might say I'm twisting scripture, some might even say
|
|
the vengeful nature of God is not to be taken literally. Most of
|
|
the error in the Bible is blamed on human error when Christians
|
|
defend it, or on mistranslation. But do you think a truly all-
|
|
powerful God would "inspire" a book destined to be deceptive from
|
|
the start? And why would his divine word need to be twisted and
|
|
corrected to make sense? If all errors in the Bible are because of
|
|
human limitation, then human twisting and contorting of scripture
|
|
is just as prone to "error". When the literal meaning falls out to
|
|
science or common logic, hidden "occulted" meanings are searched
|
|
for. Give up already! Genesis is a MYTHICAL STORY. You don't see
|
|
modern Greeks looking for hidden meanings in the old Zeus creation
|
|
story! Obsolescence is obsolescence!]
|
|
|
|
AND WHY MUST CONDEMNATION EXIST? Because God says so. An
|
|
omnipotent being doesn't *HAVE* to do anything! And an
|
|
omnibenevolent being could respond to any spite, smite, or defiance
|
|
with calm and kind understanding. Condemnation only exists because
|
|
your God decided to make it so. Humans don't hold power against
|
|
your God, do they? So it's not OUR FAULT, is it? We didn't say
|
|
"Now you must condemn us if we're bad." Adam and Eve[this is all
|
|
assuming these things existed/happened] did not know that defying
|
|
god was wrong, did they? They HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL!
|
|
It seems man was damned from the start, under your creation myth--
|
|
God makes man, God allows temptation of man, God punishes man who
|
|
doesn't even know what evil is until he commits in. Let's put it
|
|
this way:
|
|
|
|
Be Good.
|
|
What is good? And why must I be good?
|
|
You do not know. Be good because I am good, and I said so.
|
|
Why do you say so?
|
|
Because I will condemn you otherwise.
|
|
Why must you condemn me?
|
|
Because I have to.
|
|
Why?
|
|
Because I made it so, and because I said so.
|
|
|
|
God puts forth the final act of soul-destruction. God sends
|
|
the soul to hell. Condemnation is only necessary because God says
|
|
so. Why must it exist? Because he says so. Can you not see how
|
|
INCREDIBLY INSANE THIS IS?
|
|
|
|
The conclusion: Your god cannot exist. I know if I ever
|
|
confronted him, I would not humble myself to him--I would kick his
|
|
ass in a religious debate. Stop searching for hidden meanings.
|
|
The Bible is obsolete.
|
|
|
|
Update: Many times things such as "evil" and "bad things in
|
|
general" are blamed on the devil. Psycho Freak Jack Van Impe
|
|
lately has been putting the blame on ALIENS, which are of
|
|
course..LUCIFER'S ANGELS. But go beyond that. Who created this
|
|
"Lucifer"? God, being omniscient, knew his "angel of light" would
|
|
fall. Under an omniscient, omnipotent God responsible for all that
|
|
exists[knowing the outcome of his creation] wouldn't he deserve the
|
|
original blame for everything that could go wrong? Question the
|
|
concept of this "God", and think for yourself. "Who knows God's
|
|
reasons?" is nothing more than a cop-out that allows one to let
|
|
someone else do their thinking.
