What Happens When You Die? A new version of the atheist test for the religious
Some of you may know of the Atheist test on WhatHappensWhenYouDie.net
In my view the conclusion the article reaches, that 'God Exists', is unsafe.
I'll attempt, using as much of the original test as possible, to explain why I think so.
(because I know there's still some left who still believe all that nonsense. LOL)

Grey is the gloriously condescending original

Believer's Test Draw a circle. OK. Easy so far. Now let's say the beautiful circle you have drawn represents ALL the knowledge in the universe in other words, ABSOLUTE knowledge. Someone who has ALL knowledge, ABSOLUTE knowledge, would be omniscient, they would know everything about everything: how many hairs on every head and every atom that exists. Now, imagine you know a whole 1% of all the knowledge in the universe which is being generous and according to Thomas Edison, would make you pretty smart. Maybe the smartest person in the world. Ask yourself, is it possible that in the 99% of knowledge you haven't come across, there is ample evidence to prove that God is an infinitesimally small slug-like creature with a penchant for wearing leatherette tutus, purple lipstick and calling himself Ellena Rigsby at the cocktails and farting party nights she frequents at her local S & M Clubs. If you are reasonable you will say, "Well OK then, it is possible that in the 99% of knowledge I haven't come across in the universe (which contains about 400 billion galaxies, each with about 130 millions stars like our sun) there is ample evidence to prove that God is a monkey-lookin' alien who got stuck in a 'George W' look-a-like suit and mistakenly elected to president of a country on an insignificant planet in the back woods of the universe. He likes lettuce, nun hurling (he was state champion back on his home planet) and being mysterious. His least known secret, he dies his eyelashes! Can you see that with the limited knowledge you have at present, you must come to the conclusion that while you say 'God is all nice' and 'looks like the perfect grandad', you don't.....really.....know. You can't. You don't have ABSOLUTE knowledge. In conclusion, that would NOT make you an agnostic but a believer with no idea what you believe in! |
This is one of the Too many questions
