The entire Internet is buzzing with sounds of swords and shield bashing into one another over the topic of religion and god. Is is quite amazing that people in this day and age still believe in imaginary friends in face of overwhelming science. Science, especially Darwin's theory has been called religion but there is one big difference; if its proven to be false, its gone. We don't know everything and most probably never will know everything as individuals but to say that because we currently cant explain something it must have been created by an all powerful being should be enough to institutionalize a person.
I have nothing against religion, people have the right to believe what ever they want, no mater how absurd it is. But to say that one religion is better than the other is the ultimate Hypocrisy.
People that claim to speak to god are the worst, psychiatric clinics are full of people that hear voices, only difference is that these got away.
There are many posts dealing with absurdities of religious people from dinosaurs and humans lived together to the Earth is 10,000 years old.
It also looks like that the more developed the society in respects to scientific education and the level of prosperity, the higher rate of agnosticism.
While reading Proofs of the Existence of a God it came to me that there was no real list of absurdities that one can ask a Christian to point it out to them just how absurd this debate is.
Q 9. Can you tell me what are the 10 commandments?
Only 40% of Americans can recite more than 4 commandments while 90% of them have said in recent poll that they believe in God. Now that's that I call absurd. If you identify your self as something and are passionate about it at least you should know the basis of your religion.
If you don't know them a list of 10 commandments can be found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Commandments

Q 8. Who killed more people God or Satan in the Bible?
God killed more than 2,270,365 people while Satan is accredited for only 10 killings in the Bible. And I always taught that Bible was meant to punish such deeds.

Q 6. What were Jesus' last words?
This was taken from the last archive. Found this one interesting as it concurs the favorite part of every Christian and that is the crucifixion. Most people are sure that they know what were the Jesus' last words.
Well it depends from whose perspective you look.
Matt.27:46,50: "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, eli, lama sabachthani?" that is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" ...Jesus, when he cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost."
Luke23:46: "And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, "Father, unto thy hands I commend my spirit:" and having said thus, he gave up the ghost."
John19:30: "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished:" and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."
Q 5. Does God love You? A: Yes !
Q: No, he regrets ever creating you!A: Fuck off
Q: Look in ...
Genessis 6:7; "And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them."
Q 4. What is hotter, The Heaven or The Hell?
Actually by reading the Bible it seems that Heaven is hotter then Hell.
Data for the temperature of Heaven can be found in Isaiah 30:26; "Moreover, the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold as the light of seven days."
And for the temperature of Hell in Revelations 21:8; "But the fearful and unbelieving... shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone."
We have then, temperature of heaven, 525°C (977°F). Temperature of hell, less than 445°C. Therefore heaven is hotter than hell.

Q 3. Is your god omnipotent (all-powerful)?
“Can God create a rock that he can’t lift?” If God can’t do this, then he isn’t omnipotent, and if he can, then he still isn’t omnipotent, because then there is something, that he can’t do – i.e. lift the rock.
This means that omnipotence is a logical impossibility, and therefore omnipotent gods are also logically impossible.
Q 2. Is your god omniscient (all-knowing)?
But how can humans have a free will, if a god in advance knows what is going to happen? There can be no choice in any meaningful sense of the word, if there is only one possible outcome to each and every situation (that is the outcome that the god has foreseen). This leads us to conclude that free will combined with omniscience is impossible, and if we want to keep omniscience and thereby have to kill off free will, what does that do to the concept of sin?
Q 1. If a creator created the universe, what created the creator?"
The only way out is to declare that the creator was not created and just "is" (or "was").
From here we might as well ask what is wrong with saying that the universe just "is" without introducing a creator? Indeed Stephen Hawking, in his book "A Brief History of Time", explains his theory that the universe is closed and finite in extent, with no beginning or end.
