So, um, this

A single berserk reached us yesterday, after having come all the way over the mountains from the city of Willow, fourteen hundred miles away. He delivered to Alric a single package the size of a man's fist, wrapped in rags, and refuses to talk with anyone about events in the West.

The way I look at it, even if God is only the result of wishful thinking, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. For tens of thousands of years now, humans have been using technology to make things that could only be wishes before come true. If God is just another one of those wishes, and we hold onto that wish indefinitely, then it's possible that one day when we have the technology to put something outside the rules of the universe, we would seek to imbue that thing with an intelligence beyond our own. If this thing escapes the rules so completely that it can move through time, then it may "already" exist. Even if we kill ourselves before building it, someone else out there may build it.

I guess the main reason I like this thought experiment is that the conclusion is that atheistic scientific genius may one day build God. I'd rather that be the case then that we all decide we're content to rot because of the hallucinations of some dying Jew on a stick.

Atheists need all these arguments. Replacing them with blind faith makes it so much easier.

Ever notice that all atheists have already been created by god?

Ever notice everyone who supports abortion has already been born?

I'm not stating which side I'm on, but seriously, all of you are retarded.

I'm an atheist. Going to catholic school and getting anally probed by a priest convinced me there is no god, and if there is he's a worse drunk than wwo.

Religion is the single most destructive concept to plague humanity in all of history.
