Exterminating god

[Kenny]

If god exists and is as wicked as indicated in the Bible, humans should be looking at ways of exterminating it. Any ideas as to how it could be done?

There are a couple of assumptions that you have made that are erroneous... but, actually, you have a biblical stance:

Rev 17: 14They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.”

Which side would you be on?

If you read my post, I said IF god EXISTS!

Although his answer was still valid.

Have you read the Bible? Everything that is attributed to it is bad.

This is so interesting. One who does not believe there is a God and believes the Bible is false and bad yet is consumed to announce it as such.

Reminds me of a story:

“An English professor wrote the words: ‘A woman without her man is nothing’ on the chalkboard and asked his students to punctuate it correctly. All of the males in the class wrote: ‘A woman, without her man, is nothing.’ All the females in the class wrote: ‘A woman: without her, man is nothing.’ Punctuation is powerful.”

It is all in one's perspective. Biblically, we would say it this way:

Titus 1:15
To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. (Application of this verse is only in how one reads the Bible.)

It's all in how one reads it.

Why shouldn't God exterminate you?

Everything that is attributed to Voldemort in the Harry Potter books is bad, we should be seeking to exterminate it if it exists. In my opinion, the Biblical god has no more validity than Voldemort, but does more damage because of the way some extreme Christians behave thinking they are doing their god's will.

I know! Let's build a big tower to reach to the sky, so we can confront God! Let's build it in Babylon! GREAT IDEA!

Have you ever read the Bible ? The New Testament ?

You sound totally ignorant f these books.

I read them on a regular basis and each time I do they confirm my thoughts on that book.

By stopping giving any damns if you're an atheist who wants to exterminate what you see as a fictional character, and go do something useful with your life instead of wasting your time ranting about a made up being?

Except that thing I don't believe in has made my life, and the lives of many others, unnecessarily difficult by those who demand legislation based on the fundamental moral wrongs contained in the Bible. Maybe it's more of an American problem now, but it's hard to ignore-even when you don't believe in it-when people are wanting to strip you off your rights and dignity based on what passed as morality during the Bronze Age.

The extermination of God is a fearful deed and i think that Nietzsche and Dostoevsky
get it exactly right.

I am of the opinion (however worthless to anyone else) that they got it dead wrong. God is an unnecessary concept. For all intents and purposes this "God" is not there - or if it is, does not want to be knowable so as to appear as if it isn't. Therefore it does not matter. To my mind, the "extermination of god", as you put it, has absolutely no consequences.

If you truly believe that people would go about the business of "doing whatever they want" to the tune of killing one another, raping, pillaging, destroying everything in a fit of wicked debauchery if/when they found out that there was no God, then you are discounting all of us who hold to a higher moral standard of our own (nurture/nature/culture/introspective/etc.) crafting who do not, and would not do those things. If you would only listen, we might teach you, so that you too could be a good person. As it stands, you admit that you are not, and that, like you believe others would, you would take up the torch and set the world alight if you found out God did not exist. Well guess what, friend? I'll be there on that day, alongside others like me, to stop you.

Very simple. God exists because of some inverse Cartesian principle. This is what He must think now

God: you don’t think. Therefore I Am

So, we should start thinking, and He will disappear. Sure bet

Sure but perhaps this God requires worship to continue to exist. I think there was a Star Trek episode about this.

Gods feed off of worship. Or that's a possibility, so stop feeding the God.

Try collecting all infinity stones and do the snap.

Seriously.....

1 Timothy 1:17 Expanded Bible (EXB)
To the ·King who rules forever [eternal King; L King of the ages], ·who will never die [immortal; incorruptible], ·who cannot be seen [invisible], the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

How can you exterminate someone who is immortal, who will never die?
How can you exterminate someone who cannot be seen?

"Wicked" god is a human construct.

"Wicked" god is a human construct.

All gods worshipped by humans are constructed by them, imo.

Titus 1:15
To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. (Application of this verse is only in how one reads the Bible.)

It's all in how one reads it.

So then how do we even know that this isn't referring to people who believe that god doesn't exist as the "pure?" I mean, look at it... there is no mention of God... "unbelieving" could be in reference to those who deny the claim that God doesn't exist. Aren't people who deny that "God doesn't exist" unbelievers of that claim? Very interesting, isn't it? Perhaps you are the one whose mind and conscience are defiled? Given the rest of the context of The Bible, this would seem a little awkward - but no more awkward than a thousand other places that this same sort of passage left to interpretation is put forward in the book.

Since it is, as you admit, "all in how one reads it," then what would you say if I decided to read it the way that I proposed above? Could you deny me this? If so, how?

 

[A Vestigial Mote]

Why shouldn't God exterminate you?

Why don't you call him up and ask him if He wants to? As a matter of fact, tell Him that I DARE HIM to. Seriously... please do. We'll see what happens. A big pile of nothing is my bet. What's yours?

So if God exists only because people are not thinking, then hat means that God will always exist.... and when all the thinking people are dead, God will still exist.

Wait a minute.... are you putting ideas in JJ50's head?
It won't work. It's impossible to get rid of all the people who are not thinking, because thinking like that, would be creating people who are not thinking.

I think this thread belongs in the Jokes forum.

I can agree only partially, religions built up based oh human reflections of the initial understanding of another dimension, realty we came out from. God is real, human reflections are partially blind.
