This just in: After careful consideration, I have come to 2 conclusions. (1) I think the best evidence for the existence of God is that we seem to need for him/her/it to exist and (2) There is equal evidence that God exists and that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump.

“Heresy!” you say. “Burn him at the stake!”

I may be wrong here and feel free to change my mind. In fact, I want you to change my mind. But I doubt that you can. Not because I am stubborn but because the evidence simply does not exist.

You can point at a blade of grass and say, “Surely this exists because God made it so.” Perhaps you are right but I think its more likely that you think that God made that blade of grass so you can grasp onto something that shows he exists. The fact in that they blade of grass is an inevitable result of physics.

There are all kinds of fables and “eye witness” accounts of God doing this or that. There are far more instances of people taking these “events” and interpreting them in vastly different manners in order to support a certain perspective. The fact is that Jesus was “elected” to the position as “Son of God”. Look it up. Hell was invented to increase tithings.

It all comes down to this…how do QAnon and Christians explain the unexplainable? It’s either with “That’s what they want you to believe,” or “God works in mysterious ways.”

Hey, QAnon (aka Republican), how do you explain that no evidence of voter fraud has been found?

QAnon (aka Republican), “That’s just what they want you to believe.”

See how easy that was to justify an unjustifiable position?

Let’s try another…

Hey, Christian, how do you explain why God allows a gunmen to do mass killings at a school?

Christian: “God works in mysterious ways.” or “God is testing your faith.”

Testing my faith??!! So he wants to know if I believe in him? Shouldn’t he already know that? He does? He just wants to to use my free will because he’s good guy…one that will smite me if I don’t use my free will in the way he wants me to? Really? People believe this?

Don’t get me wrong…well, if you think that I think QAnon is made up of idiots then you completely get me.

However, if you think I don’t believe in a god, you would be wrong. I just think that an entity capable of creating the universe has no need to act like an old jealous white man with low self esteem. And he/she certainly doesn’t need to work in “mysterious ways”.

My observation is that people that are hard-core belief system Christians are just like QAnon people. They are the same in two ways. First, both believe what they want to believe even in the complete absence of supporting evidence. Secondly, both are by far, members of the Republican Party.

Republicans governs with fear; just like organized religions. They do this because it works.

Alas…I find this greatly disappointing. The universe and whatever created it are so much more vastly interesting and inspiring that we could possibly imagine. It takes a small person indeed to use this for the spread of fear and an increase of control.

Time to save the world.

Up, up and away…
