A Final Solution to the Problem of Religion

[pastorlenny.livejournal.com]

We have to rid the world of Judaism. Judaism is based on the stupid notion that some particular god exists. We know that this cannot be the case, because we can detect everything that exists with our senses and/or the various devices we build for detecting things. Also, if the god the Jews made up existed, it would never have allowed Hitler to kill so many of them. As a matter of fact, if there was a god, nobody would ever die—because no real god would have ever allowed any life to end. Ever.

Also, we can appropriately hold Judaism responsible for the emergence of those other two horrific belief-systems: Christianity and Islam. Christianity is responsible for more wars than any other belief-system ever in history. And believing in Islam makes you blow yourself up to get imaginary girls in the next life. So we should nip Judaism in the bud before it creates some other disastrous belief-system—like one that makes you want to get as much money as you can in life no matter how it affects others. If that ever happened, the world would be screwed.

Please understand that I am not advocating the execution of Jews themselves. Instead, I am saying that we should become more diligent and aggressive about making sure everyone knows that Judaism is a delusional and destructive belief-system that no decent, rational person would ever accept. If we can teach this in our schools, if we can get our message out through the media, if we will not be ashamed to state these obvious truths in our daily social conversations, we might be able to eliminate the cancer of Judaism from human discourse within a generation or two.

Now I know there are those of you who are going to claim that Judaism is not entirely bad. After all, Hendrix couldn’t have recorded “All Along the Watchtower” if a Jew hadn’t written it first—and we all have a soft spot for at least one Seinfeld episode. But Judaism, as the root-cause of Western monotheism, must be viewed on balance as perhaps the greatest single evil ever foisted on humanity by a tribe of superstitious, bloodthirsty savages.

So who among you is willing to step up to the plate? Or do you want to go on pretending to be rational people—even as you continue to tolerate this singularly pernicious crime against reason itself?

We know that this cannot be the case, because we can detect everything that exists with our senses and/or the various devices we build for detecting things.

Strawman.

The fact that there is no reliable proof that anyone has ever detected God means there is no reason to suppose that God exists in the first place.

Is it normal to suppose that things exist for which there is absolutely no trustworth evidence for?

Is it normal to dedicate an entire life philosophy to a thing for which there is no trustworthy evidence for?

If you can't see why it is stupid to not only suppose that an all-powerful, all-knowing, benevolent God exists which has absolutely no discernable effect on the universe whatsoever exists and which no-one has ever reliably seen, but to base an entire way of behaving and manner of living your life on this unfounded premise, well then don't complain when I kill you because invisible untouchable pixies at the bottom of my garden commanded me to.

It's exactly as sensible and rational for me to do so, as any claim you make that Yahweh exists or wants you to do any particular thing.

As a matter of fact, if there was a god, nobody would ever die—because no real god would have ever allowed any life to end. Ever.

Strawman. As you well know, this doesn't disprove the existence of gods, it points out irrationality of supposing the existence of a omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent god who created a world full of evil.

So you agree that we need to stamp out Judaism.

[mrsilence.livejournal.com]

Only insofar as we agree that people "should" not believe things without good cause.

Or least, insofar as satirical Lenny agrees with me on that point. Even if the real Lenny prefers to believes in extremely dubious fantasy-fact constructions, supported only by, if anything, his own imagination of religious experience.

What concrete action, if any, should be done to encourage people not to believe things without a good cause to occur is debatable and would certainly differ from person to person according to their personal priorities.

I am glad you are at least in principle not opposed to my program regarding Judaism.

Well, as Christianity is a judaic sect, can you do us all a favour and start with the televangelists?

[mrsilence.livejournal.com]

Excellent.

I would say that personal experiences of revelation are at least enough to bring god to the table of inquiry. However, it would seem that "mental delusion" is the best explanation for it.

I am a Discordian. I know Eris is imaginary, she tells me so...
