A Refutation of Religion
A Refutation of Religion
"Freedom is the right to tell people what they do
not want to hear."
- George Orwell
What I believe.
I am an atheist. I do not believe in the
existence of God.
God may or may not exist. I can neither prove
that God exists, nor prove that he doesn't. However, in the absence of positive
proof that God does exist I will not believe in him. God may exist, but I don't
know that he exists, therefore I do not believe in God. I am not
categorically saying that God does not exist, simply that it is
meaningless to talk about believing in something when you don't know for
certain whether it exists or not. In a sense, therefore, I am also an agnostic.
Throughout this text I will refer to those
who believe in a God or Gods of any kind as theists. This discussion is
intended to be general and will therefore not address any religions in
particular but merely the concept of God (which is common to most of the
world's religions, with the notable exception of Buddhism). I will refer to God
as 'He' throughout this text, even though ascribing a gender to a supreme being
is completely meaningless, because it is traditional to do so. The text is in
the format of a series of points made to me by religious friends of mine with
whom I have discussed religious belief, and my refutations of these points.
Click here for the full text
Or click on the links below for individual sections.
Refutations:
1. If God
does not exist, prove it to me.
2. If God didn't create the Universe where does it come from?
3. If God does not exist why do so many people believe in
God? How can all these people be wrong?
4. You cannot treat God as an object - God is an abstract
concept.
5. God is in everything and everything is in God.
6. But I can feel God in me and in everything around me.
7. What about Soul? What happens to your Soul when you die?
8. What about miracles?
9. Without religion and belief in God the world would be an
anarchy.
10. Why do this? Why can you not respect other people's
opinions?
Other points to consider:
1. The
problem of evil.
2. The incompatibility of the concepts of fate, free will and
God's omniscience.
3. Can God change the rules of logic? Can God make 2+2=5? How
do you define omnipotence?
4. Why do you think that you are special?
5. God is defined anthropomorphically.
6. Assume that God created the Universe. Well, then
how?

God is Dead
"God is dead. God remains dead. And we
have killed him. How shall we, the murderers of all murderers, console
ourselves? That which was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet
possessed has bled to death under our knives - who will wipe this blood off us?
With what water could we purify ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what
sacred games shall we need to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too
great for us? Must not we ourselves become gods simply to seem worth of it?
There has never been a greater deed - and whoever shall be born after us, for
the sake of this deed he shall be part of a higher history than all history
hitherto."
- Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900); 1882.
