What Use is This "God"?! |
I heard on NPR this morning about a church in Kenya where at least 30
(a later report said 50) people died:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7168580.stm
The people, including children, hid in the church believing in its, or
at least hoping for some sanctuary Seriously. from the appalling
violence there following yet another suspect election. It was set on
fire and they all died.
I heard this and along with the sick feeling in my stomach arose the
question "What use is this god?". Seriously.
Those people either thought the church would offer sanctuary by its
nature, or that their prayers would be answered. They were wrong on
both counts, thereby proving that prayer is quite literally stupid and
useless, and that neither the "Lord" nor his house are of any value
whatsoever.
So what use is this god? If you read the so-called "Holy" Bible
carefully, you'll notice that god never actually helps anyone. When
it comes down to the wire, it's humans, by themselves, who do
everything.
The first big test of YHVH's utility was the creation itself. Could
he get it right?
Nope!
What good was he?
Next came the global flood of Noah. God told him it was coming we're
expected to believe, but did he provide him some sheltered high ground
for him and the animals?
Nope.
Did he put his hand around Noah and an assortment of animals to keep
the flood away?
Nope.
Did he dematerialize all the bad folks so that only the good remained
and no animals and no plant life was harmed?
Nope.
Did he build the ark for Noah?
Nope.
Did he provide food during the voyage?
Nope.
Did he even tell Noah when it was safe to come out?
Nope.
Did he have a vineyard ready and waiting for when Noah disembarked?
Nope.
So what good was he?
What of Moses?
Did God spirit the Hebrews out of Egypt?
Nope.
Did he spirit the Egyptians out and leave the Hebrews to enjoy the
land?
Nope.
What did he do?
He left the Hebrews to blindly wander in the wilderness.
What good was he?
Did God spirit Lot & Co out of Sodom?
Nope!
Did he leave lot there and protect him from the fire and brimstone
with his hand whilst others were burned?
Nope.
Did he dematerialize the bad folks laving the whole untouched city to
Lot?
Nope!
What good was he?
Did God dematerialize all the bad folk from the path of Joshua to save
all that bloodshed? Did he dematerialize the inhabitants of Jericho
so that Joshua could walk in there with the protective walls intact?
Nope.
What good was he?
Could the god of the mountains defeat the metal chariots of the valley
in Judges 1?
Nope!
What good was he?
Could he save the firstborn from Herod's slaughter (a slaughter which
no writer records outside of the Bible)?
Nope!
What good was he?
Could he save us from Satan without raping a young girl and killing
her son?
Nope!
What good was he?
Did his plan succeed?
Nope!
What good was it?
Did Jesus's own prediction about returning whilst those alive in his
time still lived, come true?
Nope!
What good was he?
Did this god save those Kenyan children from burning to death in his
own house?
Nope.
So I ask again what the hell use is this god?
It's time to ditch this worthless myth and be truly free.

"What use is this god?"
Haven't you learned a thing from dozens of thousands of years of religion?
The obvious purpose of any god is to keep the brain-washed believers under
the authority of whomever created the god - the priesthood, so they could
benefit from exploiting them.. Do you know what a Catholic Mass looks like?
There's a part of the Mass where you give "gifts" to "god", i.e. you give
money to the priests. To make it look more innocent, they usually send the
ministrants (whom they undoubtfully like to touch) to collect it. Not to
mention the fact that you "have to" pay the priests for practically every
"service" he does for you. If someone dies and you want the priests to hold
a Mass for the "salvation" of his "soul", you have to come to the Parish
Office and pay. When the priest comes to your house to "bless it" (sprinkle
it with "holy" water and mutter something ridiculous), you have to pay. I
know all these things first hand - my entire family is brainwashed. Of
course, they believe I am under the influence of SatanT, which clearly
demonstrates one of Satan'sT numerous purposes.

everything.
The first big test of YHVH's utility was the creation itself. Could
he get it right?
Nope!
What good was he?
Apparently, good for nothing! How could a deity with the *slightest* sense
of decency allow it to happen when he (or she) had the power to prevent it.
What? Too busy making sure some college wide-receivers are making critical
touchdown catches in the various bowl games going on, or running backs
making 'miraculous', game-winning runs?
And think of the level of 'trust' those people put in their 'Creator'. Only
to die in the most hideous of ways? Oh well, 'God' was calling them 'home',
one can suppose. Too bad it wasn't in the way Stalin, Pol Pot, and Hitler
met their end -- with so little relative suffering and all. Got to enjoy the
'good life' for quite a spell, didn't they?
Next came the global flood of Noah. God told him it was coming we're
expected to believe, but did he provide him some sheltered high ground
for him and the animals?
Can't force deity to do something he (or they've) decided not to do. Why
kill all but two (or 'seven'!) of each species of animal for something they
had no control over? Couldn't use a 'transporter' to temporarily transport
the poor critters to some other earth-like planet in some other part of the
cosmos? 'God', and his Son 'God' incapable of doing something so humane?
Nope.
Did he put his hand around Noah and an assortment of animals to keep
the flood away?
Nope.
Obviously, 'God' and his Son, 'God' aren't true animal lovers. That explains
why 'God' and his Son, 'God' Intelligently designed and created so many of
em' to munch and crunch on their fellow animals -- instill fear, pain,
anguish, agony and, finally, cause them to die just like humans -- but
without any hope of going to a 'Heaven'. It' just 'dust' and 'ashes' for
them. Poor things. (See, we humans have more compassion for our kindred
animal creatures than the deity that is said to have 'created' them.)
Did he dematerialize all the bad folks so that only the good remained
and no animals and no plant life was harmed?
But only Noah, his sons, and their wives were 'good' in the sight of 'God'
and his Son, 'God' at the time, don't you know. Not even one single infant
baby, toddler, pregnant woman, or truly mentally ill person living on the
planet at the time. Everyone else was so evil that 'God' and his Son, 'God'
had no choice BUT to murder everyone else by drowning. Not even 'Satan' was
as evil as all those infant babys 'God' and his Son, 'God' murdered. That's
obvious. 'Satan' (and his legions of 'fallen' angels) were 'spared', weren't
they?
Nope.
Did he build the ark for Noah?
Nope.
He and his Son were too busy making sure Noah's fellow human beings were
slaughtering enough lambs, goats, oxen, doves, and *perhaps* the occasional
human being and being offered up as a 'burnt offering' to themselves to be
sated enough. I suppose deity like getting 'high' as much as some human
beings do.
Did he provide food during the voyage?
You can't expect deity to pack lunches AND see to it that the universe is
running smoothly! They've only got two 'hands', you know! And don't even ask
why 'God' and his Son, 'God' wiggled their collective noses and
'miraculously' do the first-ever 'multiplying the loaves and fishes'
routine. Had to kill the fish.
Nope.
Did he even tell Noah when it was safe to come out?
He (and his 'Son') did. A bird was sent to give em a 'head's up'. Beat's
bellowing the news from out of a bank of clouds, don't you think?
Nope.
Did he have a vineyard ready and waiting for when Noah disembarked?
Nope.
Did better, had designer wine already chilled to the perfect temperature to
accompany the 'not immoral' sex he was to enjoy later.
So what good was he?
Pretty good at perpetrating genocide and infanticide. Just 'wiped' the
'competition'. 'Satan' and his band of losers didn't even *try* to best the
duo. They knew they were 'outclassed' from the get go.
What of Moses?
That's 'sesoM' spelled 'forwards'.
Did God spirit the Hebrews out of Egypt?
Nope.
He did the next best thing: He 'hardened' Pharoah's 'heart' so as to cause
Pharoah NOT to let the Israelites leave Egypt like he wanted them to -- in
order to kill Pharoah and just a *slew* of Egyptian soldiers in the 'Reed
Sea'. And he did *that* in order to induce the awe-struck Israelites to
worship a 'Golden Calf' instead of Him sometime later? Smart, that deity
'God', isn't he?
Did he spirit the Egyptians out and leave the Hebrews to enjoy the
land?
Nope.
He already planned for the Israelites to go and perform a little 'ethnic
cleansing' in the land of Canaan in order to receive that already occupied
land as a 'gift'. Don't *even* ask why 'God' and his Son, 'God' didn't just
wiggle their collective noses and blink *those* people to some other part of
the planet. As you can already guess, 'God' and his Son 'God' work in
'mysterious ways'.
What did he do?
He left the Hebrews to blindly wander in the wilderness.
Walking for end on end is good exercise. Doesn't put quite the strain on the
old 'bod' like jogging does.
What good was he?
Good? He wasn't 'Good', he was 'Perfect'. (Psssst. Don't call his Son,
'God', 'Good'. Only the 'Father', as he will tell you, is, 'Good'. He's
pretty touchy about that.
Did God spirit Lot & Co out of Sodom?
Nope!
Hey, C'mon! Some kinky sex was about to take place, apparently. Even deity
enjoy the occasional 'Adult Entertainment'. And remember: They didn't have
sattelite or cable porn stations back then.
Did he leave lot there and protect him from the fire and brimstone
with his hand whilst others were burned?
Nope.
Didn't think to do so. Must deity think of EVERYTHING!
Did he dematerialize the bad folks laving the whole untouched city to
Lot?
Nope!
But at least he *thought* about it!
What good was he?
About as 'good' as imaginary deity can get.
Did God dematerialize all the bad folk from the path of Joshua to save
all that bloodshed? Did he dematerialize the inhabitants of Jericho
so that Joshua could walk in there with the protective walls intact?
Nope.
He and his Son, 'God', needed bodies to suffer in Hell for all eternity.
Where in the Hell do you think he was going to find any if he and his Son,
'God', kept 'dematerializing' everyone and leaving only 'Good' people left
to inhabit the earth.
What good was he?
About as 'good' as a piece of rotten meat growing 'hair'.
Could the god of the mountains defeat the metal chariots of the valley
in Judges 1?
Nope!
Sure could. Wasn't in the mood to conjure up a company of M1A1 Abram battle
tanks, though.
What good was he?
About as 'good' as used toilet paper.
Could he save the firstborn from Herod's slaughter (a slaughter which
no writer records outside of the Bible)?
Nope!
Obviously cares about infants as much as he does about baby Gazelles being
devoured by a pack of hyenas shortly after being born.
What good was he?
About as 'good' as second-hand smoke.
Could he save us from Satan without raping a young girl and killing
her son?
Nope!
How about not even 'Intelligently Designing' him and then 'Creating' him in
the first place?
What good was he?
Useless as a used toilet paper wrapped in used toilet paper.
Did his plan succeed?
Nope!
Well if his 'Son' was actually himself, 'No'. Or did 'God' put the universe
on 'automatic pilot', die and spend three days AND three nights in the tomb
of a member of the Sanhedrin and then revert back to 'live' deity again?
What good was it?
Hey, it caused a hell of a lot of people to believe in the preposterous and
the absurd, didn't it?
Did Jesus's own prediction about returning whilst those alive in his
time still lived, come true?
Nope!
Well nobody's 'Perfect'!
What good was he?
About as 'good' as a broken shoestring.
Did this god save those Kenyan children from burning to death in his
own house?
Nope.
Likes the smell of 'burnt offerings'. He gets a nice 'buzz' from it.
So I ask again what the hell use is this god?
He's the perfect 'foil' for bad people to hide behind when they do bad
things . . . in 'His' name, of course.
It's time to ditch this worthless myth and be truly free.
Unfortunately that isn't going to happen on a massive scale anytime soon.
'God' is the perfect excuse to use when you do something especially nasty.
You can say you did it for the 'love' of him in all too many cases. And if
it's proven that what you did actually violated his alleged 'word', you can
always pretend He and his Son 'forgave' you for it. Cool, huh?
Greywolf - The critter that wrote the 'blasphemous' stuff. *Someone* has to
call a 'spade' a 'spade'. Look around you. Then tell me that a 'Loving' God
can't do a damn thing about what you see. To allow it is to condone it. No
amount of 'piety' and 'devotion' has been able to change it either, has it.
The freakin' people tortured, maimed, and then slaughtered in a 'House of
God' in Kenya says everything that needs to be said about make-believe
'God'. But then you would think the Holocaust would have done *that*,
wouldn't you?

Everybody will die sooner or later, by this means or that means. It's

speech to all new arrivals is "ok, drop 'em and bend over".
What?!? *Satan* is *a Catholic priest*...?!?!?
