Description
Problem Solved

It sounds funny because the God debate is often portrayed as such a profound and insoluble riddle. But if you actually do Google it, you’ll find plenty of articles about untestable hypotheses, anecdotal evidence, Ockham’s Razor, and other useful info about how to evaluate claims, as well as info about evolution, cosmology, particle physics, and other relevant subjects. (I’ve even written a few myself.) Sure, you’ll also find websites like Answers in Genesis, but if you read everything that’s available, you’ll understand why it’s not called Correct Answers in Genesis.

So if anybody asks you why it’s irrational to believe in God, you can just tell them to Google it. And if they accuse you of naively oversimplifying a complex issue, just direct them here.

Examples of useful info that can be found by anyone who is genuinely inquisitive:

Why do people laugh at creationists? (part 1)
God is Imaginary
Why Won’t God Heal Amputees
Skyhooks and Cranes
Unfalsifiable claims
Ockham’s Razor

I think it's kind of rude to say posting this is 'stupid'

It's just a point of view. Saying this is stupid is exactly like saying posting 'Jesus loves you' stuff is also stupid. As it is just your point of view and how you feel.

The only problem with this is that the internet (as awesome as it might be) is probably the most unreliable source out there. People can make websites with false information on them all the time, but claim it to be true, and no one would ever know. Wikipedia is an excellent example. That website can be edited by pretty much anyone.

Also. There's something about Christianity that a lot of people (including some Christians themselves) seem to miss. God is not something that needs to be proven true or false. That's not what Christianity is. It's about having faith in Christ, even if there's no proof of him physically being there. (Sorry if you feel like I'm trying to force this own your throat, because I'm really not tryin to. I hate people who do that; I'm just defending my religion.)

Thank-you for posting this! I agree except for the fact that you "hate people who" try and force it down other's throats. I don't like them, but I try not to hate. People get the wrong idea about Christianity from people who do that.

Christianity is NOT a religion. It's a relationship between yourself and God. And honestly it breaks my heart to see lost people. I know that I am not the person to change your minds. I only hope to plant a seed in your hearts and mind.

Thank-you again E4me100. I was wanting to post something, but you said what I had in mind.

Maybe it's real in peoples' perceptions there's the phrase, "God is love." I guess some people strictly adhere to the bible, and could seem a bit silly. Think though, modern science has explain why people feel human emotions, but it hasn't quite figured out how or why people love. Or any creature for that matter. Maybe, we're thinking of our deity's in the wrong way in that they're physical beings. Maybe they're just love.

If Atheists can't express their beliefs, then religious people shouldn't be able to, either. Atheists shouldn't have to "keep to themselves" just for having a different viewpoint. That's asinine.

Atheist make "God doesnt exist" and Theists make "God does exist" posts. Its all people expressing their opinions in art and they are free to do so till they are content.

Its better to just laugh about it and move on than to actually get riled up because in the end its all meaningless.

So if someone submitted a deviation ins a similar style that instead said "Jesus loves you and 10 reasons God is real', you'd make the same comment as to the creator of said deviation to keep it to themselves?

darkpowers123 In reply to jLundhArt [2012-06-09 16:09:43 +0000 UTC]

no i wouldn't, because in this deviation its offending people, but in a "jesus loves you" deviation, who are we hurting or offending? its not like in it were screaming "you have to become a christian now! or you'll burn in hell forever!!" sure there are some christians like that, but the ones who aren't (like me ^^) will just let you be, its our religion, if you dont like it dont look, think, or say anything about it.

coffaefox In reply to darkpowers123 [2012-06-09 17:59:53 +0000 UTC]

as for the whole "who is it hurting or offending when someone puts a "jesus loves you" deviation" the answer, is people like me. I used to have christianity or whatever shoved on me and my beliefs but I always disliked it. I don't like being told what to say or think (not that those deviations are, it was the church I went to). So, now whenever I see things about 'god' or 'jesus' or people like that, I get internally offended. Not to the point where I'm raging, I'm just unsettled a bit I like to think of myself as an atheist, but I love taking in aspects of every littl religion and compiling them into things I can take into account if I want to ^^. Now, this deviation is exactly like the "jesus loves you" ones in the fact that it is stating a feeling and a point of view. Those who don't like it, don't have to read it or much less, comment on it. I'm sure there are many many people who would love to post hater comments on god stuff (and I'm sure they do) but to them, they don't have to look at it, and they don't have to comment on it with mean stuff. Much like here. If you don't like the deviation, don't comment on it with hatred : )

If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all~

I never said YOU were, I just said my church was when I was little and I disliked it.

as for being rude, I disagree. The comment of "please keep this to yourselves" is actually pretty rude to some people who don't like the idea of god and want to express their opinion. It would be like me saying "hey, you christian people! Keep your faith to yourselves. We don't want to hear it!"

That's rude isn't it? That comment would make you uncomfortable and more or less mad?

Well, it's the same the other way around ^^"

alright, well then I'm generalizing. It more or less hurts people to tell them to keep their opinions to themselves. No one likes it, and it would be appreciated to take what everyone says with a grain of salt. Telling people to be quiet or not say anything, is censorship, and no one enjoys it ~

And you wouldn't say that this one falls into the 'if you don't like it, don't look' category?
I feel that when getting constantly pushed with the 'Jesus loves you' phrase is like when Jehova's Witness people come knocking on my door. I never asked them to come, and I don't want them there, and they act like they're doing me a favor...
I'm like you, willing to let people believe (or not to) in anything they want, just as long as they'll leave me alone.

I get your drift, and if I came across a bit harsh, it was completely unintentional.
I can get that religious people want to 'spread the word', but honestly, this deviation is kind of a counter-reaction to that.
I'm a non-religious person myself (as you might have already imagined), but I am all for people finding happiness wherever they can find it. If someone finds it by embracing whatever deity they choose, then that's great. And if someone finds it by uncovering the mysteries of the universe, that's swell too.
Some people do both.
Knowing that a rainbow is just refracted light through water mist doesn't make it less beautiful than if you think that God, Jahve/Jehova, Allah or the Flying Spaghetti Monster did it.

The only thing I ask people to believe in is basic morality and empathy. And those are universal.
