PROOF THAT GOD IS STUPID

I had to put up a strong headline to get my fans back!! Now always it is good to look to the other side... I have decided to plagiarise a plagiarism of proofs of God's existence; most of these I have heard from friends and pastors and the like; ARGUMENT FROM DESIGN, a.k.a. GOD OF THE GAPS, a.k.a. TELEOLOGICAL ARGUMENT (I) (1) Check out the world/universe/giraffe. Isn’t it complex? (2) Only God could have made them so complex. (3) Therefore, God exists. ARGUMENT FROM BEAUTY, a.k.a. DESIGN/TELEOLOGICAL ARGUMENT (II) (1) Isn’t that baby/sunset/flower/tree beautiful? (2) Only God could have made them so beautiful. (3) Therefore, God exists. ARGUMENT FROM MIRACLES (I) (1) My aunt had cancer. (2) The doctors gave her all these horrible treatments. (3) My aunt prayed to God and now she doesn’t have cancer. (4) Therefore, God exists. MORAL ARGUMENT (II) (1) In my younger days I was a cursing, drinking, smoking, gambling, child-molesting, thieving, murdering, bed-wetting bastard. (2) That all changed once I became religious. (3) Therefore, God exists. ARGUMENT FROM INTELLIGENCE (1) Look, there’s really no point in me trying to explain the whole thing to you stupid atheists; it’s too complicated for you to understand. God exists whether you like it or not. (2) Therefore, God exists. ARGUMENT FROM UNINTELLIGENCE (1) Okay, I don’t pretend to be as intelligent as you guys — you’re obviously very well read. But I read the Bible, and nothing you say can convince me that God does not exist. I feel him in my heart, and you can feel him too, if you’ll just ask him into your life. “For God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten son into the world, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish from the earth.” John 3:16. (2) Therefore, God exists. ARGUMENT FROM EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL (1) God loves you. (2) How could you be so heartless to not believe in him? (3) Therefore, God exists. ARGUMENT FROM AMERICAN EVANGELISM (1) Telling people that God exists makes me filthy rich. (2) Therefore, God exists. ARGUMENT FROM CROCKERY (1) Pots don’t go around giving orders to the potter. (2) Therefore, God exists. ARGUMENT FROM LONELINESS (1) Christians say that Jesus is their best friend. (2) I’m lonely, and I want a best friend. (3) Therefore, God exists. ARGUMENT FROM CREATIVE INTERPRETATION (1) God is: (a) The feeling you have when you look at a newborn baby. (b) The love of a mother for her child. (c) That little still voice in your heart. (d) Humankind’s potential to overcome their difficulties. (e) How I feel when I look at a sunset. (f) The taste of ice cream on a hot day. (2) Therefore, God exists. ARGUMENT FROM MUSIC / ART (1) You like classical music. (2) Classical composers wrote for God. (3) [Non-believer points out that they had to compose for the Church or they would have been executed.] (4) But they wrote for God and you like the music. (5) Therefore, God Exists. ARGUMENT FROM FREE WILL (II) (1) If God gave us evidence of His existence, we wouldn’t have free will to believe in Him. (2) That would be bad, and we would lose the need for faith. (3) Therefore, God exists. DERRYK’S ARGUMENT FROM GOOD TIMES (1) Times are good. (2) God must be rewarding me. (3) Therefore, God exists. DERRYK’S ARGUMENT FROM BAD TIMES (1) Times are bad. (2) God must be testing me. (3) Therefore, God exists.

Myth of Monogamy

I am at work, chilling; not that I have nothing to do but I am way tired. A bit hungover and with a strange craving for oranges and downing water like a fish (do fish even drink water?). Anyway while not believing in God I realised that I have not entirely lived up to my blog *understatement*, and decided today I will write something, no matter how boring, bad, drab... I just yawned myself. Now being a 'diary' and all it seems I have shared very little personal stuff with my millions of fans around the blogosphere; and on the suggestion of a girl I know and want to.... one day (see I can be personal but telling all would seriously hamper my chances to....) I am going to blog about atheist sex/love. Firstly I would like to make it clear to everyone, boys, girls, men, women and Arsenal fans; its all about sex the shi.. ummm talk about love is all hullabaloo that should be left in Twilight movies and the marketers of dry cut flowers. Now before all of you Spanish-soap-drenched girls start protesting, and a couple of guys too; what is the end point what is the climax (no pun intended) of so called relationships? There are no relationships out of sex that are romantic; some may try to delude themselves into sex-free relationships but its a ruse they will have sexual contact but just limit themselves to no vaginal-penile action (by Jesus I hope my relatives don't read this!!) but that's for another day. I want to move to the title determining paragraph; the myth of monogamy.. yeah I said it (In Chris Rock's funny ass rabbit voice)!!! It is a myth like any other myth with full characteristics to match; no one knows the origin, it serves to maintain some quasi-moral societal norm and it actually isn't true (I read somewhere that in Kenya around a third of all children are raised by their non-biological fathers who don't even know the children aren't theirs!). Now legally a man cannot marry two wives unless he marries them under African customary law, which might be discriminatory to non-Africans who are not allowed to, or under Islamic law. Now the vice versa is unheard of women cannot marry two men (in certain communities women can marry other women but I digress). If one marries two women under neither of these exceptions he commits the crime of bigamy (and it is he not she!!!); what is the rationale behind this? Is it constitutional? is it a waste of public funds to investigate and prosecute such cases? In the end what is the point? I propose a free system of marriage anything goes... whoever wants two wives or seven, a communal marriage whatever they want goes; why not?
