I sure hope Makarios watches this because it undermines what I understand to be the foundation of his "faith":
The real "Good News" is that if we apply Makarios' reasoning, he does not exist.

About Me
- The Atheist Missionary
- I am a Canadian father, lawyer, columnist, skeptic and humanist interested in furthering a critical analysis of religious belief systems. The name "Atheist Missionary" is a sarcastic jab at religious fundamentalists. Atheists don't proselytize and are unified only by their freethinking nonbelief in the existence of a supernatural deity. In my preferred reality, philosophers would be treated like rock stars.

Yes, improbably does not mean impossible. But doesn't it cut both ways? Even if you think it's improbable that a deity exists, you have to admit that it's not impossible.
ReplyDeleteAlso, asking "where did God come from?" is a simple category fallacy. God didn't have to come from anywhere like the natural world did.
I, personally, freely and openly admit that it is not impossible that God exists. But, Matthew, if you are suggesting that it is equally possible that God exists as it is possible that God does not exist, then I want you in my corner the next time I go to Mandalay Bay.
ReplyDeleteI love this video. Short, sweet, to the point. I'm adding it to my arsenal in the fight against my true believing father in law! :)
