Grim Truth - Existence or Non-existence
of God?
Who cares. . . whatever.
It really doesn’t matter one way or another. If there is a God
he’s too busy to be bothered with us. We’re too tiny and
insignificant to matter unless our penchant for procreation and
expansion leads to us becoming too big for this universe (seems a
ridiculously long way off), until then we’re just the proverbial tiny
cluster of cancer cells that haven’t yet grown into a significant
tumor in the flesh of the Universe, and might fail to grow beyond our
fragile ecosystem because of stupidity and greed.
Too grim for you?
More grim than an eternity
of burning pain from eternal fires that never manage to burn all of
your flesh away?, or some other manner of eternal torture?
More grim than being
shuffled around like cattle, starved, tortured, experimented on and
then finally killed, all for just being of a different religion and
cultural background?, (and for a political need to unify a nation for
war?)
Is it more grim than being
stoned to death by your family just for not covering up your hair?,
(which apparently sends mind controlling lustful thoughts into men. .
.?!)
More grim than having your
parents decide that you can’t get your appendix surgically removed,
because God would be offended, and it’s decided that you have to be
healed by prayer? (So your last minutes of life are surrounded by
people who claim to love you, them murmuring to their invisible
friend instead of getting you the readily available help that you
need?)
More grim than being
exiled from everyone you ever knew and loved, just because you happen
to prefer being with the same sex, and are honest about it too? (and
oh yeah, some religious cultures execute for that too. . .)
Is it more grim than being put in an isolated boarding school full of sadists and bullies (the staff and "teachers") who starve and drug and torture their "students" for years, all just because your super religious family doesn't want their child to have an opinion on God that's different from theirs?

That’s just a couple of
the grim examples of what religious folks have done, and don’t get
me started on Jihads, Crusades, Witch Trials and the Inquisition.
Really, the non-existence
of god would be a far friendlier world for us all, if God were really
responsible for these atrocities. Unfortunately, all that hate and
blood is on human hands rationalized maybe by what those people held
to be true, but still it’s not on God’s hands because no God did
these things. God is innocent, if he/she
exists at all.
So grow up Humanity! Start
taking responsibility for what you do, for the killing, the cruelty,
the torture, and the bullshitting.
