WARNING: The following post is extremely blunt.

God is an abstract form of subconscious thought to which the details that are incomprehensible for the human brain process as "faith".

The Bible is a paradox. It is a book about creation, but the book was created itself. Therefore, if the book is based on abstract theories and only uses words that were written as supporting evidence, then its original ideas on which it was based are also abstract.

Nothing about god or the existence of the universe is concrete. Therefore only the abstract can be used to explain it, even if it sounds really good - one abstract idea does not force another abstract idea to concede when trying to explain the unknown (the supernatural).

Why would a theory on our existence be allowed to dictate our lives? After all, that is all the bible is - a theory. If it were fact and not theory, then the evidence to support that would be concrete. Instead, what it is it? Abstract.

Why does religion - Christianity especially - forfeit rationality when speaking of the existence of the being of - being? God is the exception to every rule only because every rule is only a mere thought or form of taboo. Who made these rules? Humans. We didn't make them, but we have tried to understand them and form a basic "law" around them. So God is essentially breaking the rules that we as Humans have set? Our science has found out the laws of nature - we may have experienced them instantly upon birth into earth, but science has made us understand them and become aware of their existence.

Human intelligence is ironic. If it were not for intelligence we wouldn't know intelligence. If it were not for intelligence we would not question, we would just live for survival and not advance our science and technology as a race and constantly evolve our intelligence into more intelligence.

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it.. Does it make a sound? A little cliché.. But try this. If no intelligence existed in the human brain - would the law of gravity exist? Does a dog know gravity? Experience wise, a dog feels gravity and lives within it's effects, but is the dog aware and conscious of gravity?

Same goes for god. If we did not have the ability to wonder why we were here, god would definitely not exist. Since his existence is only real in abstract thought, that is as far as he exists. Its some matrix shit right here - anything that is understandable by humans only exists because humans understand it..?

If humans did not exist, then surely the earth would exist - but intelligence with thought that is aware of it’s existence would not exist. I know the word ‘exist’ is being killed right now, but think of it this way:

You are reading words right now that were designed and developed by humans. Start from there, and work your way up. Ask me for help if you get stuck
