ANTI-SERMON - THE AGNOSTICS

agnostic |agˈnästik|nouna person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God.

Disclaimer: I was raised Christian. Most of my readers are or were Christian. Therefore the following discussion mostly concerns that viewpoint. 

Agnostics are cowards to their own brain. It's like they got tired of thinking, so they just declared all things equal and gave up. 

Is there any other area of human thought in which such a ridiculous assertion be deemed sane? Crop circles? Horoscopes? Agnostics give the same weight to an invisible being who has a list of naughty and nice people on a scroll and when he opens a scroll seal a seven headed monster will appear and smite thee OR that one day the atoms in your body will be re-dispersed into the universe from whence they came. The real madness comes when people reject the hocus-pocus, but STILL think there could be a god...like looking behind the curtain and STILL believing he's the Wizard of Oz.
With the same logic, EVERY concept is disprovable to be false; including Pastafarians....

Pastafarians is an internet invention to counter the claims of religion. The Flying Spaghetti Monster can't be disproved either. But then, neither can fairies, or ogres.

Agnostics shouldn't be allowed on juries. As jury foreman, can you imagine talking an agnostic into reaching a conclusion without a doubt remaining?
"Well, he could have slipped on a Lego while cleaning his gun and shot his wife six times and he could have tripped when trying to comfort her and stabbed her in the heart with the knife he had in the other hand and while carrying her to the car for a ride to the hospital he could have dropped her in the pool...."

With the slightest brush of research, you could learn that the idea of human's specialness is the logical invention of the notion of impending nothingness. Our brain can't stand not knowing....thus science. But some things are beyond understanding, thus the brain....just....makes....stuff....up.

Indeed.

We digest food just like other mammals, we conceive our young the same....etc, etc, etc. The only thing that makes us "special" is that by hook or crook we have developed a brain with enough neuron connections to become self awareness, and such power will not easily tolerate the notion of death and nothingness.

I never like to refer to Fundies (new internet term for fundamentalists) as idiots. In their sphere as druggist, teacher, welder, etc, they make very calculated, rational decisions based on the evidence available. It just seems to me they go deaf and blind to reasoning when there faith in a supreme being is challenged. 

Fundies question most everything they see and hear. If someone rang their doorbell and offered to sell them something that would...say....make them live for eternity, they would use their logical minds and slam the door. But they abandon this same logic if someone tells them that a book was written in the Bronze Age tells them how to live for eternity and this book must be true because it says it's true...and, of course, they have been brainwashed from birth to believe it.

But what about that book of theirs.....

Do you think the bible would pass muster if there was a law suit of some kind of trial for fraud or some such?

I actually respect the parents in this next article...

These people not only talk the talk, they walk the walk. They follow the book to the letter. Yet, even fundies would call them nutcases. Hypocrisy is one of the "sins" that is the most obvious, but the easiest to overlook.

Now to close....Imagine yourself in Rome in 5 BC and a man walks up to you and says, "If you believe that I am the son of god, born from a virgin, and I have made water into water and I can wake up long dead people and have them walk through town, and some other stuff, I can make it so you never die, but will live for eternity and all you have to do is to pretend to eat my flesh and drink my blood and believe that I am telling you the truth.
Using the brain you have now, would you actually believe that? Remember, you had already heard the same song and dance for a hundred other "messiahs" popping up during that same time.

LET'S MOVE ON...

This ought to be posted in every school in America...

(I have no idea if he actually said this)

Just another thing Christians don't have to do in order to live forever.....they get to keep their shoes on....

 Yeah, it's called self-hypnosis and it's well documented...

Dear Fundies, Does this look silly to you?

 Well, go eat your pretend flesh and drink your pretend blood and think about the meaning of the word "silly."

Just like mice, sheep, sharks,....

One would only hope....
