Questions

Alright, damn it, enough.

It seems the creationist argument that "something must come from somewhere for some reason, therefore, GAWD!"  Has pounded a Monster™, and come back round again with a vengeance.

It's getting silly.

Seriously, if you demand proof against the existence of deities based on this hokey idea that "a creation must have a creator," than the very least you could do is hold yourself to the same standard.

I'm sorry, does that make your brain hurt?

Let me put it another way:

Where did your god come from?

If you insist that existing is proof of creation, you must not only prove that that your sky genie exists, you must acknowledge that he was created, and if you do that, you're going to need to find the answer to the question: "Who created him?"

Or, at the very least; "How was he created?"

See, you can't hurl questions at us as proof. Questions only prove that you have questions. Just as our existence isn't proof of a magic dust sculptor; it's simply proof that we exist (and even that's been debated).

This one of the myriad reasons I'm an Atheist.

You, as the positive claimant, need to provide evidence that your cloud wizard is the right one (as opposed to the thousands of others). However, before you can do that, you have to prove that one could exist at all.

You can't do that with questions. Those questions you're using as proof aren't there, in your mind, for you to lob at us when you need to feel smug.

You know what those questions are for?

Answering.

You know why they're in your mind?

Because somewhere deep inside, you know shit isn't adding up.

Go.

Seek truth.

Get the questions answered.
