Skeptic groups trying to marginalize atheists

[President Television]

I can't prove there isn't a god, but I think I can prove certain gods don't exist.

At best you can prove that people's understandings of a particular deity aren't possible.

Existence of Yahweh is not provable or disprovable, but events in the Old Testament are. For all we know, he does exist, and really likes lying to us about creating the Universe in 6 days. Hell, he might actually be just one particularly wussy god out of many, and is just very butthurt. The other gods let him dominate world religions because they don't actually give a crap about any of us. Or it guarantees he's too busy showing them all that he doesn't show up at their parties anymore.

You can't prove or disprove this idea.

The latter part of that central paragraph sounds a lot like Gnosticism. You might want to look into it if you haven't already.

[Requia ☣]

How exactly does that have anything to do with Gnosticism?

The penultimate sentence in the second paragraph could be a rough assesment of the Gospel of Judas.

A pity that bits of it are missing.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Yeah, what LMNO said. Looked into Gnosticism out of historical curiosity. Basically, Old Testament God is still a god, and created the material universe, but is evil. Jesus is a manifestation of the "Good" god. Again oversimplification, but it gives you the gist.

I've already decided, though, that whatever ultimate reality/high god/whatever may or may not exist is just amoral, in that, it does not share the same values we do.

My greatest fear is that there IS a God, and he thinks just like I do.

Nowhere in Judas does it say that God lets the Archons run things out of apathy.

No, I just know what I'd do to you bastards if I had Godlike powers.

It was in one of the missing bits.

Pleasant things?

Depends.  Is there any pleasant way to use the word "flense"?

And thus we come down to "God is a Crazy Woman"

[Nephew Twiddleton]

I like to think of it as "A crazy woman is raping God and he's powerless to stop it, providing that he finds the experience unpleasant"
