Why Not Worship a 'Natural' God Instead?

There is plenty of evidence for, say, the existance of gravity. In fact, none of us would be here if it weren't for gravitation exserting it's mighty force upon our massive bodies. Why not worship gravity then? We all know the great and powerful things that gravity does, after all, since we experience it every second of the day.



Or even better, why not worship electricity? We have all been amazed about the great and wonderful things that electricity does for us on a daily basis. I couldn't be typing this message to you without the beautiful wonders of electricity and the transisters that make it all possible. We all know that electricity loves us so much because it does almost unlimited things for us all the time, right? Need I explain what electricity can do unto you if you disobey the manufacturer's warning label? It can taze you, dead, in no time if you operate on your computer hardware without first unplugging it from the all powerful 120/208 Vrms AC 20 ampere rated wall socket. After all, our dumbass ancestors, the same ones whom wrote the Bible would have worshipped such an impressive display of technological achievement.



I'll even take the time to compare electricity with your stupid supernatural god. Try as your god might, with all his willpower, he will never be able to pull the CPU plug out of my wall socket. Too late, this message got to you before your god could do anything about it because your god is imaginary.



Also, I don't worship natural things, I actually was just joking there.

Newton's falsified hypothesis of gravitation says God is unnatural. Therefore scientists worship a falsified hypothesis and an unnatural God.

"therefore" .... You're just filled with flawed logic, aren't you?

Also, Newton's Theory of Gravitation isn't flawed just because you have a hard time understanding it....as evidenced by your seeming to think that a physical theory somehow says "God is unnatural".

Let me help you out there OIM, the tried and true theory is as follows .... F=G(M1)(M2)/r^2

Theoretically, that works for all orbital situations where electric fields and other forces are neglidgeable and where the escape velocity is less than the speed of light.

Gravity and electricity don't meet the emotional needs that a deity has to satisfy. They don't produce commandments that enable people who believe in them to feel smug and superior while pestering the living shit out of everyone else.

A taser gun can bring a little judgement upon those you don't like though. Also, electricity "loves" us very much as evidenced by all the good electrical appliances and gadgets that run off of it. I, indeed, even have a close personal relationship with my computer. I think this meets all the criteria for being a winning religion.

Incontinent753: Blow me!

QF: Still finding ways to break the moronicity barrier, are we? You've just described paganism, and thanks for owning up to your true religious beliefs!

You really didn't know that anyone who despises God, worships him/herself? You're a pagan, son, and that includes more than just your average stick-worshiper.

With all the energy you infidels expend worshiping yourselves and your achievements, you could successfully invest a tenth of that in the worship of Him Who gave you life in the first place... but, that's really beyond your comprehension, isn't it?

Sad... so sad.

Gideon said...

Yo, QF... is that the look the neighbor's dog has when you're behind him?

LOL!

I'm just joking, too.

Is that what you're into Gideon?
