Agnostic - a skeptic (a person who neither believes or
disbelieves in god) I don't know if there is or isn't a god and feel completely
indifferent on the matter. However, I'd change my opinion if anyone could logically
answer and prove without a doubt, one of the following questions.
There is only one unanswered question
in the theory of evolution. How did it all start?
Then again there is one major unanswered question in the theory
of creation. Where did God come from?
That being stated -- here's my reasoning.
 | If there is a god and he/she/it created everything from nothing, why then
doesn't he/she/it get blamed for everything? Why do people credit god with the good
and the devil with the bad? If there is a devil, didn't god create it?
(Whatever it's supposed to be.) Does he not have the power to eliminate it, or did
god lose his power and he isn't the god he used to be? If so, why would you worship
him? (The gender used in this writing is for convenience.) |
| If god is the father of everyone, why does he do so much harm?
Would you give your child crippling diseases, birth defects, sickness, etc.
just for the fun of it? ..to test their devotion? No, of course not, no
parent could do that! No one could do that to anyone they loved.
|
| Did you have children so they could worship you? Would any parent?
How then can one believe this is what a god would do to, or want from, his
children? |
| Why would a god create flies, mosquitoes, diseases, accidents, etc.?
Would you do that to your children whom you love so much? There's no logic to
any answer in this area. |
| Why would he design any living creature that required killing another
creature to survive? Could you watch one of your children butcher another to eat?
Certainly there was no need for a god to create creatures that need fuel.
Did god not have the technology to build a perpetual living machine? |
| Why does any living thing have to die? Is the universe too small to
house them? Can't he make it larger to accommodate increases in population of all
living things? Why didn't he just stop making when he ran out of room? Were
his creative abilities limited? Didn't he have the ability to think ahead on this
and other matters? It all makes no sense. The entire system reeks with
stupidity. If there is a god - could he have made so many mistakes? Not
according to those who believe. Is it the believers who are making the mistake? |
| If heaven is a place where so many people want to go to after death, why
then do they not know what it is or what they'll do there for eternity? Would it be
to sing and praise a god 24 hours a day for eternity? Does anyone do that here on
earth? If they could, would they? I think not! Who could sing hymns for
two hours let alone non-stop for eternity? I don't know anybody who does that, or
wants to. |
| What about all the other living things (plants and animals) where do they
go when they die? How is their performance rated while they were alive?
Certainly, if you believe in creation, you must believe that they too are god's creations. |
| Churchgoers put in less than 2 hours once a week in services - that to
them, is enough. Can you imagine a non-stop church service for eternity?
Have these people actually thought about what a heaven might be like and if so,
could they stand it? I doubt either! It can't possibly exist, as I don't
understand how anyone would want to go to such a place. |
| De-segregation at it's grandest - that's heaven. Every race,
religion, and ethnic background all thrown in together and all equal in value and rights.
Ha! Ha! Ha! Even those who claim no bigotry here on earth couldn't stand
that. That would mean, all services would have to be reduced to a common
denominator. Everything would have to be reduced to a common denominator.
You couldn't practice your religion as you see it. That would be
discrimination. Oh yes - and every creature would participate, too - even the
predators would be thrown in with the prey. |
| If the bible states an eye for an eye, why then is it illegal for me
to steal from someone who steals from me? Why shouldn't a parent be allowed to
render a perpetrator crippled if they do so to a child? Why can't I murder someone
who murdered my loved one? If the law of god is beyond the law of our land we should
have such rights without question. Yet, even the churches condemn such behavior
while preaching the bible. |
| How can religious beliefs and practices be changed? If they were
correct for 2000 years as claimed, how can a human change the rules now? (As did the
Catholic leaders a few years back.) |
| There are too many versions of gods in varying religions. It's a
simple fact that every religion can't be correct. With so many gods and different
beliefs, they can't all be right, but they could all be wrong! |
| There are just too many unanswered questions for me to believe in the
theory or creation. |
