About this ebook

The following is a collection of works that show there is a Good beyond God. In particular, the God of Abraham is focused upon showing how He is the epitome of being unjust, leading His followers to act similarly. Fortunately, we can see He is unreal, though His followers must be taken into consideration; there is a difference between the modern-religious believer who ignores or is ignorant of the intolerance of His God’s history, and the follower who not only knows of God’s intolerance, but revels in and enforces it. The works are in chronological order, but have included a Table of Contents with categories and links to make it easier to find specific topics of interest.

    The following is a collection of works that show there is a Good beyond God. In particular, the God of Abraham (using the bible and koran) is focused upon showing how He is the epitome of being unjust, leading His followers to act similarly. Fortunately, we can see He is unreal, though His followers must be taken into consideration; there is a difference between the modern-religious believer who ignores or is ignorant of the intolerance of His God’s history, and the follower who not only knows of God’s intolerance, but revels in and enforces it.

    Table of contents

    Metaphysics (a Sonnet in The Gospel of Reason)

    A poem from my book The Gospel of Reason that reviews the origins of existence.

    'If you don't believe God exists, how could you be mad at Him?'

    A dismissive question made by many believers implies that atheists and agnostics must have some degree of belief in order to be ‘mad at God.’ This is the response to their false assumption.

    Belief in God is the Ultimate Moral Relativism [A Brief Review]

    An oft-heard criticism of being without faith, is that one has no moral center – that society would crumble and humankind would devolve into mindless, murdering and rapacious heathens without God’s moral guidance. This shows how following the God of Abraham leads to an ultimate ‘might makes right’ standard.

    Why Proving/Disproving God is Impossible

    Claims that ‘you cannot prove God doesn’t exist,’ and that supposedly are to offer scientific proof that God does exist, in addition to the claims that make the opposite assertions that there is scientific proof God does not exist, are addressed.

    Proof of the New Highest God

    This work reviews how faiths emerge, based upon evidence that would not be taken seriously elsewhere.

    Fundamentalists are not crazy; they are far worse

    Those religious extremists who are most faithful to their texts are dismissed as radicals and crazy. However, the etymology of radical is the same as radish, from radicalis (having roots), meaning they are most faithful [dogmatic] to the base of a faith. It is in this most faithful following of a religious system that problems and conflicts come, for where these beliefs are held, the violent actions that follow are rational consequences.

    Scientific Proof Of God - A Brief Review

    This is another work that reviews the impossibility of proving God using science, and that ultimately, an omnipotent God would not be limited by Nature, though any attempt to prove God’s existence falls within Nature’s limits.

    How Do We Know What We Know

    Epistemology is the focus of this work, and how we should be skeptical about the claims of faith, and how those claims originated.

    What is important is not what your Holy Book actually says, as what it says to you in how to act

    Defenders of faith and religion defend their Holy books with references to passages/verses that speak of compassion, love, and beauty contained within their pages. The Holy books do contain such passages; however, that is not the extent of what they say as the Holy books also have violence, intolerance, and justification for various acts of cruelty. Which gets stated reflects the person talking, not the books for they say both.

    The Bible didn’t change; you’re breaking Biblical Law

    To those who claim that a return to biblical law is in order to restore humanity to a good and proper course, this exposes what exactly a return to such laws would entail, and the necessary conflicts between church and State that would emerge from it.

    In God We Trust… better think again; the Bible says He is not Totally Trustworthy

    We are to have faith in God, but looking at the bible shows contradictory passages where God is not honest, or causes people to believe in delusions.

    Justice and Free Will – Two Things We Do Not Have With God

    We are supposedly responsible for our actions, and God will treat us accordingly for acting as we did. However, if God is to be omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient, and has a plan, then we really do not have free will and cannot have any hope for justice.

    The True Mass Killers

    Adherents of a given religion will refer to their own as a ‘religion of peace’. However, by the nature of faith, its collectivistic/tribalistic nature, blending practical (resource concerns) with moral (my faith is correct), leads to the surest base to ensure conflict among peoples: division for bodily needs and spiritual wants, through classism.

    God Does Not Love The Children

    Those who claim to be ‘pro-life’ (actually just anti-abortion) proclaim that ‘God loves the Children.’ There are no mistakes, each life is precious, and especially children need to be protected. The bible does not reflect such a child-friendly God, for He not only lets children die, but orders their murders, and even (against the religious anti-abortion position) induces abortions.

    What was Jesus [Christ]? – humanitarian or hypocrite?

    WWJD is a saying used to present Jesus Christ as the model of perfect behavior, in order that humankind is to emulate. Looking at his behavior, though, we can see he as a model is less than perfect.

    If I Wanted to be Seen as God (Sacred or Secular)

    In 1964, Paul Harvey read his ‘If I Were the Devil’ radio segment, which decried the perceived moral collapse of American society. Though some of his comments were prescient, the rest were not. A retort for today’s society.

    Metaphysics (a Sonnet in The Gospel of Reason)

    [Thursday, January 3, 2013]

    Exactly why, does he, mankind, exist?

    From where did life, and order, formulate?

    And, how – without a cause, nothing to list;

    Did all the Universe come from that state?

    Is Nature fated? – did it have to be?

    No plans, no script, just forces manifest;

    Not cruel, nor mean, with no affinity.

    Objective rules are learned from interest.

    The other choice: a primal Creator;

    The being living in vacuity.

    But how did He, with nothingness before;

    Beget the stars, all else? – His nascency?

    The answer, Nature versus God, sublime;

    There is no doubt that one has been all time.

    'If you don't believe God exists, how could you be mad at Him?'

    [Tuesday, May 6, 2014]

    'If you don't believe God exists, how could you be mad at Him?' (snicker)

    Many theists of various sorts enjoy deriding atheism by asking 'if you don't believe in God, how can you be mad at Him?' or 'are you also mad at Bigfoot?' Though there may be a few who are actually angry at a specific god, the retort to atheism with such dismissive questions overlooks a crucial point for the issue at hand is greater than any level of animosity at a specific entity/deity.

    Most atheists are as equally mad at God as they are at Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster and the like - meaning atheists are not angry at God for there is no actual object for scorn. Similarly, most atheists are not angry with anyone's belief in their chosen god. The issue of anger comes forward not from anyone's belief in God, but from the basis of that belief in God going beyond
