A very well-designed site actively advocating "rationalism" in favor of religious belief. As implied by its name, the site also has 50 reasons why (the Christian) God is "imaginary". Of course, in advocating rationalism over belief, the site conveniently fails to mention Hitler, Stalin, Mao, the French Revolution, et al. The site also does not trumpet who its authors are.

Of course, not a mention is made as to the beliefs (or regarding the believers) of Islam, Buddhism, or Hinduism. Although this reinforces, in my view, the validity and uniqueness of Christianity (and the craven cowardice of the site's authors), it is intriguing that the site repeatedly utilizes the word "delusion" when referring to Christian believers.

Yet another marker of the rapidly-approaching end times, and a signal to believers to put on the full armour of God.

Pathetic. That’s the best the atheists can do?

What happened before the big band? When was there no time? Ask Schrodinger’s cat.

[pcottraux]

If that were true, then how is my mother still alive today?

God healed her of a brain tumor.

[Grizzled Bear]

I've found many atheists to be decent rational people. It's the “antitheists” than are insufferable bastards.

[pieceofthepuzzle]

To state with contempt and arrogance that people who believe in something beyond secular existence are ‘delusional’ is smarmy, and ironically anti-intellectual. Using calculated logic it is much easier to believe that there is a reason for our existence than to believe that everything exists for no reason.

[LukeL]

His argument is that if prayer is answered it is by pure chance, thus God is not real.

Yet another marker of the rapidly-approaching end times, and a signal to believers to put on the full armour of God.

Amen! Things are really going to pick up in tempo now that we are in the End Times. Christians are going to be persecuted right along with the Jews. That's because all other denominations/cults belong to the god of this world. They are all coming under the one world church, and we're not invited. Thank God. lol..

[RegulatorCountry]

Believing in God is delusional. But, there is some point to believing in pointlessness?

The Crusader Moth!

http://www.coasttocoastam.com/gen/page2913.html



On July 22, 2006, I walked over to the window and saw this moth on my outside air conditioner unit. It was the most bizarre thing I had seen in a long time. I retrieved my digital camera and snapped a picture through the glass and the window screen before going outside in a failed to attempt to capture the moth. I contacted a moth expert. He told me what kind of moth it was, but added that he had never seen one with a cross on its back like this one. I call it the 'Crusader Moth.' --Dennis Latham

IMHO.. The Big Bang theory is rather delusional.

[Barnacle]

Some Catholic folks might wan to weigh in on this.

(If you want on or off my Catholic Ping List, please send a Freepmail.)

Maybe we would not need a God if secularists didn’t have such an insatiable blood lust.

[DouglasKC]

I only read the first proof but it's so simplistic. For example:

What would happen if we get down on our knees and pray to God in this way:
Dear God, almighty, all-powerful, all-loving creator of the universe, we pray to you to cure every case of cancer on this planet tonight. We pray in faith, knowing you will bless us as you describe in Matthew 7:7, Matthew 17:20, Matthew 21:21, Mark 11:24, John 14:12-14, Matthew 18:19 and James 5:15-16. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
We pray sincerely, knowing that when God answers this completely heartfelt, unselfish, non-materialistic prayer, it will glorify God and help millions of people in remarkable ways.
Will anything happen? No. Of course not.

What audacity. What hubris. What arrogance to presume to know God's will. If atheists really knew God they would know the humility of knowing that part of faith is knowing that God does his will. How dare they presume to tell God what to do and then declare God "imaginary" because he doesn't deign to pass their little test.

Here’s some proof of the Divine. Divinity of Scripture (deals only with Old Testament) is also part of the column.

God is self evident.

The founders knew it, and stated it plainly in the declaration of indepence.

Paul went so far as to say creation itself shows God to be real, and that men who reject Him are without excuse.

On my own, I found it to be self evident as well (at a time that I would have prefered Him not to exist).

There are several proofs of God. The most obvious being the one referenced by Saint Paul. To outline breifly:

Primise 1: There is "stuff".

Premise 2: Stuff changes state, but can not be created or destroyed within natural law (modern man has seen that matter can be converted to energy and back, but both of these things are still "stuff" changing state).

Deduction 1 (from premise 1 and 2): Unless natural law was interupted by a trascendent power (to create stuff), there must have always been stuff.

Premise 3: Not everything that will happen has happened yet.

Deducton 2 (from premise 3): There has not been enough time for everything that has happened to happen.

Deduction 3 (from deduction 2): Stuff has not always existed.

Deduction 4 (from deduction 1 and deduction 3): A trascendent power created stuff.

Note, this is not as formal as philosophers like to make this stuff, but is just an outline. There are some objections that can be raised, but so far I have found them all falacious.

They should register an alternate domain name for that site. “atheistsdontgetit.com”.

A very well-designed site

++++

I could not find “about us”, or other link that puts a name behind this web site.

Does anyone know who they are?

[refreshed]

Wow, that list was really pathetic. Just a rehash of things I’ve heard over the years. Where does the guy get the audacity to make moral proclamations over God anyway? This guy is his own moral final authority. He gets to decide right and wrong based on how he feels and thinks, but he won’t even extend to God, the one that created the universe, the same luxury. Ha!

[TheWasteLand]

I keep waiting for "rationalists", while insisting God is imaginary, to explain why objective reality is, well, objective and real, and not imaginary. And no, Cogito, ergo sum is not a proof.

[Between the Lines]

This website pretends to offer “proof that God is imaginary”, yet everything that I read only seeks to cast doubt that God is real. Doubt is not proof.

From #4: All of science works in this way. Only by assuming that God is imaginary and prayer is meaningless can science proceed.

Exactly when did science adopt these criteria as a prerequisite for scientific investigation?

From the argument "Take a Look at Slavery"

Note that God is not sophisticated enough to understand the concept of inflation. It is now 3,000 years later, and a gored slave is still worth 30 shekels of silver according to God's word.

What idiocy. What breathtaking arrogance.

As a side note, does Al Gore have slaves like this argument says?
