A brief analysis of the atheist retard thought process |
At least Douglas Berry understood my inquiry, and attempted
to answer. Here it is:
--begin paste--
But you ask what I require for proof of God. Here:
Tomorrow morning when I leave for work, I will find the following on
the second, third, and fourth steps from the bottom of my building.
Three pennies, one per step, centered on the stair. In order, they
will be tails, heads, tails. The heads penny will be a 1943 Series D.
As I pick this penny up, four geese will fly over me in a formation
slanted to the left from my perspective. The lead goose will honk
once. When we get into the car, the first song on the radio will be
"Death of A Clown" by The Kinks.
--end paste--
So, let me see if I understand. Tonight, Douglas Berry places
an order to God, for the aforementioned scenario to take
place tomorrow morning, made to order for Douglas
Berry, by God. If these things happen exactly as ordered,
he's convinced that God exists, if not, he's not convinced.
Okay so far?
So, should each human living on the planet be expected to have
such orders filled by the Big Guy, on request? Or is Douglas Berry
somehow special? If not, then we should expect word to quickly
get out, with millions...billions of requests being sent to God.
Do we now get an idea of the completely buttheaded nature of
this thought of yours? But I give you 2 points for at least
trying.

If your 'God' is so busy, why don't you provide the
evidence? You're the believer, therefore that job is
yours. Something new, please. All the old arguments
have been disproved repeatedly.

Why not? The god being in question is supposed to be omnipotent and
omniscient. If it wanted us to know it existed then it would have both the
ability and knowledge to make sure we did. It would be a trivial matter.

Hey, you just asked for what proof it would take, nothing about how
reasonable it was. Besides, any all-powerful being worth his salt
should be able to handle billions of requests no problem.
But try these:
Demonstrate that simple faith in this god has physical benefits for
believers not available by normal means, such as immunity to disease
or immortality.
Or, prayers that actually result in miracles, every time. Regrowing
amputated limbs is a popular choice.
Or are these also unreasonable demands to place on an omnipotent
deity?

So you think proof isn't supposed to be asked of someone who claims he
knows we have a god?
I guess you prefer that well just assume you know what you are talking
about so you get a whole lot of respect for, er talking out of your
*****?
You asked for what kind of proof - and you got some suggestions. Now
you don't think you should have to come up with them because your
imaginary god is so important that everyone should believe you the
minute you start blathering.
Sorry, it's not like we are retards, er.... like you.

would take for someone to believe in god and you were given specific

Tonight, Douglas Berry places
an order to God,
Yes, god is allegedly omnipotent and supposedly filled many such
orders in ancient biblical times. At the very least, God should be
able to fill an order as well as McDonalds can at the drive thru. But
he doesn't even seem to have that capacity.
for the aforementioned scenario to take

Was that somehow unclear to you before?

Or is it reasonable to believe in a hypothetical "God" who
doesn't manifest himself (herself, itself?) in physical reality? A
God who's so subtle it's almost as if he wasn't there? Moron, if
there is a God and he wanted to convince rational people it would be
easy. He could make the stars in the sky form great big letters
saying "Jesus saves!" or "Siva loves you" or whatever. But you prefer
your imaginary Hobgobblin to be SO subtle, he's only evident to YOUR
powers of hallucinatory indulgence. Forgive the rest of us for being
unconvinced by the testimony of the likes of you. Faith is an
emotion, it is a meaningless phenomenon like an itch. Reason is how
you determine what entities exist and which do not exist.

Hell, I have a good one if pennies, geese, and The Kinks are out of

I wake up tomorrow morning with *all* of the damage done to my body by
cancer, the treatments, and the related diseases I've suffered through
for the last 12 years repaired. Completely.
Or the Giants win the World Series in Game 5 at home on a Barry Bonds

If God wants us to know that He exists, I'm sure He could do better than
to have a wide variety of kooks and idiots citing the mythology of Bronze
Age Goat Herders as convincing evidence of His existence. When He wants
me to stop being an atheist, He'll tell me.
