Sick phoques.

An atheist friend of mine asked me this question: "Do you think God might be a bit of a sadist?"

Atheists are sadistical. They have no reason to harass theists, yet they don't cease. If they truly believe there is 'no' God, it is a waste of their time to discuss the matter. Immanuel Kant told us that if people who have silly beliefs, we shouldn't hate them: we should just feel sorry for them. Enjoy the freedom and be proud of how much smarter you are than everyone else.

I remember something that George Orwell said, in Down and Out in Paris and London: that [a character] did not seem so much to disbelieve in God, as to have a vindetta(sp?) against him. Such seems so much to be true of so many "atheists".

John Locke told us, "It is not reasonable to deny the existance of an infinate being, simply because we cannot understand its operations." Deists have call to write libel against God. What is it that motivates the unbeliever to do it other than cruelty?

Retaliation? Fine: people of faith push it onto those who lack it. But they do it because they care. They genuinely believe that what they have found is important and can help people. Maybe they believe it is imperative to our status in the next realm. And maybe they are wrong. But they are motivated by compassion. Irreligious people are motivated by spite.

They could be wrong. And they could be responsible for war or terrorism or hate crimes or persecution or whatever. But if it is all a ruse, if it's all biology, if we are just animals without souls, then this "plague" of religion is an inevitable mirage in our minds with some weeding-out-of-undesirables purpose for the continuous, changing parasite of the planet earth that is "life". If ethics, if morals, if feelings, are just instincts, or preoccupations of our minds, now that they are overly developed, then what we percieve as suffering, is just learned behaviour to avoid a similar fate for ourselves that would hinder the survival of our species. And it doesn't effing matter.
