Noah's Ark

One of the more popular, well known fairy tales out of the bible is the story of Noah's Ark and the commonly plagiarized great flood myth. It is quite a ridiculous story it would appear to be written to entertain children, but in reality 6.9 BILLION people on this planet believe it to be truth and historical documentation. I'll summarize it in basic. God had created the entire universe and earth, aside from god's omniscience and ability to see the future, god becomes discontent and dissatisfied with the human beings he created, so he decides to murder every man, woman, boy, girl, disabled person, fetus and elderly on planet earth. All with the omission of a desert dwelling, 600 year old, alcoholic man and his family of seven. His name was Noah. God instructed Noah to to build a large water craft three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high. God also demanded that two of every species of animal male and female were to accompany Noah and his family along with all the provisions and basics necessary to nourish for over one hundred and fifty days. So Noah did what his god allegedly told him. You get the picture. Just think about it. Really consider this story and ask yourself if it could realistically happen. A bronze age man, building a giant boat (134 meters long,22.5 meters wide and 131 meters tall) carrying a low estimate of six million animals (two of every kind in existence, from every drastically different habitat and ecosystem of the world, perhaps more because of extinction to this day) eight human beings, all the food for the people and animals and all their excrement combined. Given the size of the ark, and the occupants, every person and animal had roughly 6.5 square millimeters to walk about on the ark. THIS NEVER HAPPENED IT IS COMPLETE BULLSHIT!!!!

Why Bother?

So, in continuation from the subject matter of the might of Yaweh. First, let's understand something. Omnipotence and Omniscience. It is one thing to be the most powerful being to ever exist, but to be omniscient means to know absolutely EVERYTHING. Past, present and future. This ties into the claim that "god has a plan." God has allegedly predestined every thing that has happened, is happening and is going to happen. He knows about it ahead of time, yet sometimes, he still just gets so angry about the things that happen. A perfect example out of many is the Biblical flood myth. God created the world and all the people who inhabit it, but they were just so "sinful" and crooked that it got to a point in which as described in the bible, god decided to kill every man, woman and child on planet earth by drowning them omitting a 600 year old man and his family of three in addition to 6,000,000 animals on a 134 meter long, 22.25 meter wide, 13.1 meter tall boat. Any way, how does it make any sense for a god to become so enraged by things he knows in full detail are going to happen? Well it doesn't. Furthermore, in recent years, you frequently see so many religious people protesting, lobbying and complaining about things they see as corrupt. If these people are protesting in the best interest of the preservation of the law of their god, What is the point? If they damn well understand that their god "has a plan," why would they make any attempt whatsoever to alter the progression and outcome of events? If it is understood that all things happen only if it is in accordance to the will of a their god, why reject it? Why pray? It is a simple untold truth, theists fight tooth and nail to protect their own interests and remain in some feeble state of control and power. In these times it is much more difficult for them and in a much grander perspective, to do so would be very selfish. A complete waste of time. This would not be much of an issue if there was no religion....

Know it all

I'v been thinking about it for quite some time now and as I realized when I was just a youngster, The concept and idea of an omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent god is ridiculous. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to the common analytical mind. It is laughable at best. a fairy tale believed by the sheepish minds of the masses. Just take a moment to think about it. I always hear people say "god gave us free will" or "god has a plan" a perfect plan "everything that has occurred, is occurring, or is going to occur is god's will and is a part of his divine plan." Well that's cool. So I guess that includes all the horrible atrocities that have happened and are happening on this small planet. These gods sound like total assholes to me. People also claim that their gods are always "perfect." any way, all that aside, it doesn't even matter because all of those claims are invalid. They don't make sense! In fact, it is all contradictory. Your god simply can not have a complete "plan" for all things when his "creation" has also been endowed free will. Think about it. A "plan" is inherently predestination meaning the past, present and future are set out ahead of time by someone or something, in this case, a god or deity who has created everything from nothing. Free will means having free independent choice or voulentary decision. In terms of philosophy and religion, the doctrine that the conduct of human beings expresses personal choice and is not simply determined by physical or divine forces. It is just that simple. A god can not have a perfect plan. Perfection does not exist and neither does a god of any kind.
