Omniscience

Monotheists claim their god provides all the answers, but in reality it only excuses them from having to provide any. Any and all questions challenging the validity of their beliefs are smugly met with, “I don’t know all the answers, but GOD DOES!” They don’t seem to realize this is a non-answer. Assuming someone else knows does not mean that someone else does know nor should it excuse one from knowing themselves. I humorously imagine these Christians standing at the Pearly Gates and having God ask them, “Why should I let you in?” and hearing them respond, “I don’t know, but YOU DO!”

Christians love to challenge the theory of evolution. “It doesn’t make sense,” they declare without knowing anything about it other than what others who don’t know anything about it have told them. Um, have they read the Genesis creation story? It is LUDICROUS; containing no historical or scientific basis whatsoever. They love to ask, “How could anything exist without a creator?” but refuse to answer, “Who created God, then?” They don’t realize they are merely parlaying the problem. “They demand an answer for the existence of the universe. Their answer is simply, “God.” Yet, they get offended when asked for an explanation of the existence of God. In this context, isn’t “the universe” and “God” simply two ways of saying the same thing? For example, if, “How does the universe exist?” is answered by, “God,” it logically follows that the next question in need of answering is, “How does God exist?” Otherwise the original problem has not in actuality been addressed.

Gods don’t provide any answers; they simply eliminate the incentive to look for them. “Simply believe.” Most Christians would be surprised to know that the idea of BLIND FAITH that they rely so heavily upon isn’t even in their precious albeit mostly ignored- except for when it’s convenient for them to quote from- Bible. I’m fairly certain the term was originally intended as an affront against so-called “believers.” Blind Faith is little more than an Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood collaboration, folks. Wake up and smell the hypocrisy. If you can’t rationally defend your own beliefs your existence is null. You certainly have NO business challenging, criticizing, demonizing, questioning or denying anybody else’s beliefs.

Let me break it down another way: Christians claim their god is omniscient; or all-knowing. This is from the Latin omnis, meaning “all” and scientia, meaning “knowledge.” We now mean science, from that same root word meaning knowledge, to be the methodical pursuit toward acquiring knowledge. “Christian” literally means “of, or like, Christ.” For them, Christ is a manifestation of God. In order to pursue the ways of Christ, the very manifestation of omniscience, one must by definition also be pursuing knowledge. It can therefore be said that Christians who hate science are uninterested in the being they claim to worship.

No doubt someone will want to accuse me here of simply using semantics. On the contrary, I am accurately using semantics. I would LOVE for a Christian to say, “By ‘blind faith’ I mean I don’t want to know,” which IS what they mean.
