DOES
GOD EXIST?
By BootBlock/TerraForm A reply to Bucko/¡ND¡ replying to an article by me... (Some new readers may not know what the hell I'm wibbling on about, just get hold of issue #11 & #12 to find out) I also think there MIGHT be a higher entity or entities that created the first single-celled organisms that we evolved from. Ignoring all the pollution and wars, etc, I think mankind (did you read that word girls? That word was MANkind :) are pretty intelligent blokies (and blokettes). Shite, I've totally forgotten what I was gonna write, better start again... What proof has there been that there IS a God? From what we've seen, something like God just wouldn't exist. I'm guessing here, but God would *HAVE* to be some kind of energy form, but where did this engergy come from? It obviously couldn't have been caused by a massive explosion (how can something intelligent be created by a random explosion, according to my personal experience, explosions are not good things, as they hurt and make yer willy shrink; also how can something be created from a random (or was it?) explosion have the power to create things?). People wibble (I luv that word!) on about humans being a mega complex organism and a "masterstroke of design" (your words Bucko). Acccording to *us*, yes we appear to be. But say if there was a God (if there were more than one God, would the other(s) interfere with anyone else's "creation" ? Or was it a joint project?), we could very well be a crap creation and "a bit dodgy" in our design (c'mon, can someone tell me the point of earwax?). Also, we aren't very robust are we? If a fat bloke (me) gave a skinny bloke (Timmy Mallet) a good kick, he'd shatter into a squillion pieces. We may be a shite creation by God, and God just couldn't be BUMHOLED to nuke us, so he left us to see what would happen in a few billion years time. Obviously he hasn't come back to see how we're doing. Of course 10 years to us would be wildy different to 10 years to God. As we totally made up time ourselves (so I assume). So, does time itself exist? As we had to make up some kind of time reference didn't we? Only because we created it, doesn't mean it exists everywhere else, does it? >"Man (and before anyone thinks I am getting sexist I will use this term >as a generic name for our species) is a hugeley complex organism, a >masterstroke of design (well, apart form the wars we cause, and >pollution and stuff :) and something that I beleive could not have come >about by chance. Sureley evolution, the universe and everything we know >was not simply a stroke of luck??" Why couldn't we have come around by chance? I see what you mean when you say that, but we very well may have. Like for example, lets talk about random-ness. The whole point to it is that it's unpredictable and you don't know the outcome (or else it wouldn't be random, would it (I think)?). The Lottery numbers, do you remember when they came out as 16, 17 and 18 (and such like) ? It's just because it JUST HAPPENED that way, just like the universe. The universe JUST HAPPENED. When "The Big-Bang" happened (God knows how that `explosion' happened :), everything started hurtling outwards (as it does in any kind of explosion) and started spreading out. The universe (as we know it, ie. everything that was created from the big boom) has been cooling down, and when things cool down, they sometimes change. For example, if you have plastic that is so hot, it's in a liquid form, and you wait for it to cool down, it basically changes form from liquid in to a solid. So when the particles, etc started to cool down and mix together, they created new particles, molicules, etc. Just like mixing two things together normally results in something pretty different. So when a lot of things start a mixing `n' mashing, you end up with some very different sort'a stuff. Various particles get caught up with each other and start getting fused together (remember it's still pretty damn hot) which starts to form solids when they do eventually get at a low temp (like that hot plastic. Who cares if the plaggy was already solid, if you're thinking that, then you're missing my real point). God. Is it a he, she or an it ? Well, I'd say an "it". Why? Well, if there's only one God, why have any re-productive organs? So if it's haven't got any tits/a nob/etc then it's not a he OR a she, is it? As we seem to class species on what parts they've got. >"All the tribes of man that the world has ever known have worshipped >gods. This is a bit of a coincidence is it not? Surely there should be >some Aithiest tribes amongst man if there truely were no god?" No, it's not a coincidence. Whoever started spouting shite about there being a God must have defined it the way that person(s) would want it to be like. Obviously, not everyones' ideals are the same, so other tribes started to believe in "God", but they imagined it the way they wanted it to be. Coz if you made something up, you'd want it to be the way YOU wanted it, wouldn't you? Unless you were an extremely stupid/kind person! I don't suppose we'll ever know if the Bible is the true book of the God(s). I don't really know if we'll truly ever find out why everything started, but until we do, I don't think I'll be believing in a "God" of some/any sort. You're probably thinking why the hell I'm so bluddy well sure that God doesn't exist and think everything "just happened" when I haven't got any concrete proof that God DOESN'T exist. Well... I don't really know why I think that, but I suppose it's just that HOW does God exist? What is God? Where'd God come from, and other such questions ... Nothing is quite we what expect (when Pong first came out (I don't think I was even born at the time (1979 was when I was born)), who could've thought that we'd be playing games like Tekken 3 and Tomb Raider?). Who would've thought the earth was infact a sphere instead if a cube type of shape? I know that sounds stupid, but people DID think that you could fall off the end of the earth. Infact, some crew members on ships would kill their captain if he went too far to the "edge" of the earth. But the very ultimate question.... who thought people would drink that bloody horrible RED Punica !?¿? <a week later .....> So, this one thing ("God") created absolutely EVERYTHING in 6 days (the 7th day being the so-called "resting day") ? BULLOCKS! Soon we're all gonna die because of the way we've fucked up the planet, and do you think we'll get any help from this so-called God? I don't bladdy well think so. What's one of the major causes of death in the world? Religion, that's bluddy what. I don't give a fuck if Jesus did sacrifice himself for the whole of mankind to wash away their sins. I haven't read that shite called "The Bible", but didn't Jesus sacrifice himself to stop God (you fuckwit!) nuking everyone/thing on earth? If God/Jesus/etc did exist, why the fuck is everyone praising GOD, and not Jesus instead?? God was gonna fuckin' kill everyone!! God, you are a WANKER! C'mon you arse, I'll challenge you to a game of Mortal Kombat III (I'm the BEST!) .... Who sez that Jesus (Christ Superstar! Ooh ahh, who'd you think you are? Some kind of superstar? That lives in a car? With a 7 par? Print a var. Drink some tar. Eat a bar. Sorry.) was born on the 25th of December? Other religions say he was born on the 2nd January, others say the 7th. So who's right then, eh? $fff [Me! I say he was born yesterday <smirk> - D!] Time doesn't exist, we just made it up (see why above). Lemme get this right, God and Satan (nice word by the way! A bit like satin) have to try and get as many people (more like "slaves") as possible to follow them, right? So everyone that believes in God obviously are followers of God, and ditto for the Mr Satan. What about the poeple that are "in-different" ? I take it these are ignored, or are they just nuked for a laff? So anyone that's in Heaven are "following" God, and anyone in Hell are "following" Satan, right? Damn, I've just thought ahead of what I was gonna type, but I've just totally destroyed this example! Duh! .... How come everything that is considered "evil" is always good (shagging, thinking norty thoughts, twatting someone that has just twatted you, getting a load of bubble-wrap and thing wringing it out like a flanal so it makes loads of "popping" sounds, instead of popping each individual bubble (you boring farty!); etc), and things considered "good" is boring? Sorry, but if shagging/etc is considered evil and you get sent to Hell, then Hell sounds like a bluddy groovy place (apart from the burning in eternal flames poo thing)! So if anyone follows Satan, they'll burn in an eternal fire? Then why the HELL (geddit? Ho ho!) worship Satan if he's gonna torch ya? Oh well, don't take anything warm with you, you'll get a bit hot .... take a flask of cold orange, a knackered comb, some sandles and a nice book on DIY bog-roll .... Sorry, but I've got to cut this article short.... see ya! end
