THERE CANNOT BE A GOD

When I worked in New York downtown 33 years ago, the employer gave limo rides home (anywhere in NYC, CT, NJ and PA) if you worked until 7 pm and after.

One of my favorite things as a new comer to the U.S. was to chat with the limo drivers and ask how long they were driving, how New York has changed in that time etc.

After a driver in his '60s told me that he finally arrived in the U.S. by hiding in a cargo ship after being rescued from the Aushwitz camp at the age of 14, I said, "Thank God."

He immediately said, "What God? There is no God, there cannot be a God that allows over 6 million children to be killed, burnt alive."

Wikipedia = [en.wikipedia.org]

The Germans and their collaborators killed as many as 2 million children, including over a million Jewish children, hundreds of thousands of Polish children, and tens of thousands of Romani children, moreover, children with physical and mental disabilities of various ethnicities living in institutions across the German-occupied Europe, or residing in the Soviet Union. Aside from Polish, Romani and Polish-Jewish children, many Jewish children from France, the Netherlands, Greece, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Italy, Romania and other countries also died as a result of mass deportations.

"He needed them in heaven". Being all powerful, what they were needed for, I am not sure.

When the real truth is spoken!

As a young man I concluded, based on all available evidence, that if there was a god, he/she was not all powerful, loving, and righteous. Looking around, one can clearly see that if god is omnipotent, then he/she is a dick because he/she allows horrible, fucked up things to happen. In which case, fuck him/her, I don't need a vindictive asshole deity like that. However, if god is loving and caring, he/she clearly lacks the power to stop horrible, fucked up shit from happening. In which case, fuck him/her, I don't need a god who has no more power than we do. In short, based on all available evidence, any god that exists is obviously worthless because he/she is either an all-powerful dick head, or a righteous, loving deity who is completely ineffective. But a simple syllogism proves that god is certainly not both.

You said it. That is why it falls upon every good human being to fight this evil of ignorance, so more bad things are not done in its name after thousands of years of atrocities, harassing, persecuting, fooling, duping, cheating, looting people.

When you realize that brain washing does not have a rinse cycle!
