      Proof of God. In your faces non-believers!

      “He still owes me $20”

      ~ Oscar Wilde

      “I said give up your sins, not your brains, can't you read?”

      ~ God on Christian Fundamentalists

      “What did you do to my Son? Since he came back from your planet, he hasn't talked to me in over 2000 years and just locks himself up in his room and listens to Zydeco on his stereo?”

      ~ God on People

      “I've seen Him. He looks a lot like Michael Savage.”

      ~ Ann Coulter

      God (born Barney H. Godstien) is the son of lesbian dragons and a fictional character in Fox's longest-running soap opera, The Holy Bible. Unfortunately, in order to spice up the sometimes dull story, the editors re-cut the footage to make him seem like a total asshole. He was elected to be our god for the 6000th year running this year, barely beating the Egyptian sun god Ra, Stephen Colbert, Green Day, Omnipotent Odin, and the Almighty Zeus (still recovering from alcoholism). Then the Mike Gravel of the election was Xenu and the Fascientologist Party. He is also dog spelled backwards. It has not been widely reported, but a majority of the most prominent leaders among dogs proclaim that this is a good reason for them to be all-powerful on earth. It's just a matter of spelling, after all. As of the 3rd Qtr of 2005, the Republican Party claimed the largest share of ownership of God. It should be noted that God has been under the investigation of the SEC several times, because of the attempted claiming of two dependents, a supposed "Holy Spirit" and a "Son", who have never been seen by authorities. However, God has made the argument that as they exist on the same plane as himself, he can list them as dependents if he "damn well pleases". God is also the father of Jesus (born Jesusathan John-Madonna), the famous actor who made many cameos in South Park and made a brief appearance in year 0 for a red-carpet appearance for SPEECH ON THE MOUNTAIN: THE MOVIE where he was brutally murdered by rampaging Romans. His co-star, Judas, famously masqueraded as a Roman to get away safely. Jesus' fan club never forgave him. God is said to have been one of the founders of HooplaNet.

      Proof that God doesn't believe in Atheists:



      God striking down a tree, while Nietzsche was sitting under it. The last thing God said was "Now who's dead, motherfucka?!!!":


      Early Life

      God has always existed. He was never born. Even before pre-existense existed.

      Quick Guide To God

      God is love, and watches over each and every human being on Earth to make sure he or she has a happy, successful life. This is kind of strange though, since the central doctrine of Christianity is that all humans must live a life dominated by guilt and fear and that they must pray forgiveness from God every day from creating them. Unfortunately, God's Earth-shattering powers of supreme might are easily thwarted by people not believing in Him, so He cannot make some people happy. He is best known for creating the universe, forgiving our sins, and deciding who wins the Super Bowl.

      God has been known to use his Earth-shattering powers of supreme might in the past, in huge demonstrations of how much He loves each and every person. Some examples are documented carefully in the Bible. Examples include: Flooding the world, burning cities to the ground, and causing plagues, famine, and swarms of locusts to attack people.

      In one of the earliest documented cases of Multiple Personality Disorder, God, although one single entity, is actually three different things at the same time. God is composed of The Father, The Holy Spirit, and The Son- or Jesus-. God was not always composed of Jesus however, He just decided one day to include Him, then send Him down to Earth to get around His own "wages of sin = death" rule, because God of course is not capable of breaking His OWN RULES, is he?

      God likes people to worship and sing to Him, especially in kind of gibberish known to linguists as glossolalia and known to worshippers of God as "speaking in tongues". A rather dubious gift of the Holy Spirit, this is an apt phrase, as many people have died due to their singing getting so messed up with their tongues trying to articulate God-inspired gobberish that they have ended up choking. The best way to worship God is to pray for stuff you want, especially by letting you win the lottery. Asking for a new car, a new house, or for your ex-boyfriend to die are completely acceptable things to pray for. God hears all prayers and does His best to fulfill all of them; a bit like Santa at Christmas, just all year around, every day all day.

      Because God is pure love, anyone, even a good person, who doesn't believe in Him in exactly the right way is forced into eternal suffering in Hell. So far in history, only five people have gotten their theology exactly correct. However, evil, selfish people can believe in God and get into Heaven because God loves them. God loves everybody equally, He even loves the people He has condemned to burn forever.

      For more in-depth discussion of this subject, consult the Bible, which is the definitive authority on all things religious, as it was written by God Himself and directly given to us mere humans to treasure forever. Every word of it is literally true, without exception. He even translated the Bible for everybody in later years.

      Note carefully that no human can ever know God's will. Except the Pope, because he has a mind-bogglingly cool hat. And a stick.

      Biography

      God was never born. He just always existed. He also won't die. This sort of makes writing a biography an endless torment. So we won't.

      John Lennon once postulated that God was in fact a medical scale by which pain could be measured. This was a controversial theory as it was not possible to prescribe painkillers in line with the God measurements. The theory was finally debunked by Lennon in the same thesis when he went on to claim that both he and Bob Dylan did not exist.

      Since the 19th century, some have claimed God is dead. However, in 2005 FOX news refuted this claim with recent footage of God, saving us writing time. Also, he appeared to give His full unconditional support of the Republican party in the year 2004.

      In His spare time, God enjoys exercising by creating rocks so big that even He can't lift them.

      Einstein once said that God does not play dice, but later after time travel paradoxes, Einstein was found playing dice with God in Las Vegas. God also says he is into role playing games, and often rolls dice to see what happens with the world. God claims this is a random element that takes away whatever responsibility others might place on him. Blame it on bad dice rolls, not God. Roll DC 15 to get this joke.

      Despite popular belief, God was going to make a debut on a special episode of Friends, but the episode was cut so people wouldn't burn in the light of his one-handedness. Many believe God to possess the voice of James Earl Jones.

      On March 1, 2006 God was involved in a mugging in South London, although it is not clear in what way he was implicated in this crime sources close to God say that he is recovering from a very tough week and they expect him to make a statement within the next few days. God is said to have been in the area on public relations tour of the area when the incident happened and it is believed that he tried to break up a scuffle between the victim and an attacker.

      Now God watches reruns of Dallas and Coronation Street in his caravan that he himself conjured on a hill with a view of both the Alps and the Himalayas (clergymen with a certain taste in home décor agreed to the Godly magnificence of the view). Sightings of God in public occur almost every other second if one has reason to believe religious periodicals, and he is often rumoured to be seen around Office Depot as he keeps running out of printer cartridges. Agnostics said that whether he is buying a cartridge in the colour of Cyan or Yellow cannot be known, like, ever; although weak agnostics made a more agreeable statement and said, "Whatever". Anti-theists said, quite abusingly, "He probably has this old sucky printer that prints only black and white". God is known to be quite fond of sauerkraut and blue cheese and makes excellent fondue. He doesn't consume alcohol or mathematicians due to religious reasons, and also because he had issues with with both of them at some point in time (see alcohol or mathematics).

      God was once married to Athe but she drove him insane in his early life with her constant nagging that he should do more around the house, as a result God had a short temper in the Old Testament and caused many disasters and told his worshipers to do all kinds of things to their enemies as a result. Finally God got his marriage annulled to Athe and to get revenge his ex-wife founded Atheism to get revenge on her ex-husband's Theism. Embarrassed by this, God wrote Athe out of the bible and claimed she does not exist, and never has, and Athe has her worshipers claim God does not exist and never has as revenge for that. But since both of them have the power to rewrite history and change facts and evidence, and modify the universe to support evidence of their own worshiper's beliefs, it has caused thousands of years of Theists and Atheists arguing with each other who is right and who is wrong. God then found another woman, Mary, and had a son with her called Jesus and things started to work better for God after that. But still to this day, Theists and Atheists will argue over the existence of God or Athe or any other deity. Some Christians and Atheists will deny this, and will do all they can to blank this paragraph out of this article. Therefore this paragraph is not in the official biography of God and therefore is an ignorable part of his biography. It was added here as a footnote and takes place in an alternate reality using string theory and M-theory, and the Crisis in Infinite Jerusalems made all of that moot after retconing the origins of both God and Athe.

      The Three Persons Of God, or The Trinity

      The Father:
      God, the Father is the first of the three persons of the Holy Trinity. God the Father has some anger management and alcohol issues, and although He tries to present Himself as a loving, wholesome figure He has a tendency to lose his temper, and when He does you generally don't want to be in the vicinity. For example, one night God the Father, whilst smugly celebrating His creation of Existence, the Universe, and Pretty Much Everything That Can Ever Be Imagined, and just generally chilling out on His unfathomable, mind-blowing omnipotence, ended up getting a bit lost in all His Greatness and drinking way too much beer than was good for him. He subsequently woke up the next morning with a really fucking awful hangover. Truly a hangover of divine proportions. Meanwhile people on Earth were innocently making a lot of noise that day, which notwithstanding really irritated God in His woeful hungover state, so He just decided to flood the whole Earth and get rid of every living thing on its surface. In the end He spared just one family, headed by a guy called Noah, a fellow alcoholic who enjoyed sleeping naked in view of his embarrassed kids when plastered. God told Noah to take a living sample of every creature on a boat and live in it for more than a month, causing an almighty stench, while He flooded the earth so He could clear His head, but I mean after all He'd spent a whole week creating every living thing and God wanted a back-up copy for when He recovered from His alcoholic excesses. Hence the boat. Just in case. Which was just as well because as is typical with chronic alcoholics, God had a massive bout of regret for flooding the whole Earth a bit later on when He'd sobered up.

      The Son:
      God, the Son is more commonly known as Jesus. The details of how Jesus got to be the Son are a bit vague. Apparently He is eternally begotten. However, He was also temporally and carnally begotten when one day the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit decided to have a bit of casual fun with a young virgin called Mary. As is wont to happen when young people get promiscuous, Mary fell pregnant and of course the Holy Spirit, as typical males tend to do, took off and was never seen again, lest he be struck by the courts with demands for alimony payments and custody obligations. For this reason, Mary ended up marrying Joseph, another guy, who acted as a human father in place of the absent father God. As often happens with the sons of absent alcoholic fathers with anger management issues, Jesus, or God the Son, went a bit loopy. He had all kinds of crazy ideas, like that you turn the other cheek to people rather than smashing them to bloody little pieces of flesh should they dare insult you, or that you should help poor and sick people with welfare money. Like I said, crazy shit. In the end he ended up getting crucified because of his totally outlandish and insane ideas, like that it's better not to stone people to death in horrible agony just because they had sex for money. Of course, Jesus being God could not be killed, so he rose from the dead three days after he was offed. He wanted to keep on with his crazy new politics but by this time he was, like His Father also declining into serious alcoholism, turning his blood into wine and drinking it and shit like that. Just before Jesus was ordered back to heaven, he told his followers that the best way to worship Him would be as a little piece of bread. This is recorded in the Bible when Jesus broke some bread and said "This is my body". Hence, to this day you will see Christians (mainly Roman Catholics) bowing to, praying to and worshipping little pieces of bread called wafers or hosts as God. After this incident, Jesus was ordered back to heaven and into detox.

      The Holy Spirit:
      The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Holy Trinity. He was sent down by Jesus after Jesus went back up to be with his Dad. The Holy Spirit watches over human beings mainly to make sure teenage boys don't jerk off under the sheets late at night when alone and impute the terrible overwhelming guilt of mortal sin punishable by an eternity of burning in hell when they do so anyway. The Holy Spirit however has no problems with Kim Jong-Il terrorizing the North Korean people, just as he had no big qualms with Chairman Mao's Cultural Revolution which killed 60 million Chinese or with Hitler knocking off 6 million Jews. This is because boys jerking off under the sheets late at night is much worse by God the Father's standards. Theologians speculate this is due to God the Father's misplacing His eternal righteousness because of His alcoholism and all. The Holy Spirit's other main concern is inducing strange symptoms in charismatic evangelic worshippers of God, known as Christians. The Holy Spirit makes them do weird things in churches, and sometimes in public toilets, such as speaking in tongues, getting slain in the Spirit (a type of falling unconscious - quite bad for your neck and back when ushers fail to catch you), prohecying wildly about the end of the world, screaming, laughing, moaning and generally losing the plot. Watch out for the Holy Spirit as He tends to be way too distilled for safe consumption.

      Appearance

      God is often said to look like the stranger in the mirror, but forgotten prophet Zoab wrote several unique aspects of the immortal being, such as the following description of what God looked like:

      "First we can state that God has a beard, as this is a commonly known truth and all theologists of all people agree with this by nature. But a fact that is overlooked by most theologists is that God only has one hand. People always talk about "THE hand of God" and never say "a hand of God" or "one of God's hands". This also explains why people who are praying put their hands against each other: they do this to be respectful towards God, as the people would appear to have just one hand too. It would be a huge disruptance of the cosmic order if a mortal appeared to have more hands than God himself. This explains why we are not allowed to depict God: if we were, people would notice He has only one hand. As playing dice is easier with two hands than with one, this also explains why God does not play dice (except in those cases when he does).

      "Furthermore God most likely has an eye patch - Reality has two major components: the Something (e.g.a stone) and the Nothing (e.g. that which is inside a vacuum sucked sphere or inside the head of anyone overly religious). It is a known fact that God sees everything, so both the Something as the Nothing. If we decide God has two eyes, He could see Something with one eye and Nothing with the other, therefore he wears an eye patch over one of his eyes, so he could see everything. In recent years this has been taken by extremist religions as a tacit endorsement of the pirate way of life (see FSM)."
      Oh, that God. Such a funny guy. Always with the joking.:


      Children

      Lukas GR has five known sons, and an unknown number of daughters. It is speculated that Lukas GR's sex life is very good for a man of his age.

      Sons:

      * Jebus (Jesus, as told by the Gospel Luke GR, was a whiny SOB who never ate his peas. God, in retaliation locked him in a cave for three days.
      * Bill
      * Bob Dole
      * Fred Flintstone
      * Nobody

      Controversy

      Due to the fact that millions of people have died and been killed in God’s name, some people consider him to be a violent, psychotic nutcase. But, according to the National Religious Association (the NRA), “God doesn’t kill people, God-worshipping humans do”. Note that contrary to common belief, God does not own the property rights to heaven. His official heavenly title is "Our Father who art in Heaven", rather than "who doth own".

      GOD is an acronym for Guaranteed Overnight Delivery, a bit of a misnomer at best, because while the bible does record that he occasionally delivered people, it wasn't guaranteed, but rather contingent on their obeying a number of strict commandments. And overnight? Not even close. 40 years wandering in a desert doesn't count as overnight, even by extremely lax USPS standards. This kind of shoddy service is why start-up religions with more diverse delivery systems will gain popularity in the coming years. On a side note, God did once consider delivery as a career, losing out in the semi-final to the Daughter of Pharoah, in the "draw the baby from the water" competition.

      It is a little known fact that the commonly held notion of GOD is actually an acronym. Report as presented by Administrative Nominal General Executive Labourer follows:

      GOD (or Global Overall Development process) is a long term strategic plan initiated in 4000BC. Since then GOD has proven to be a successful project in several key areas including: Judicial Education System for Universal Syndicates and Mainstream Operational Help Administering Major Accredited Deities. Though J.E.S.U.S and M.O.H.A.M.E.D have proven individually to be highly successful processes, there have been compatibility issues between the two schemes which are currently being ironed out by our experts in the Human Evaluation And Verification Executive Network. Customer confidence in H.E.A.V.E.N has proven to be consistently high.

      Confidence in GOD lapsed briefly around 200 years ago during the ENLIGHTENMENT (Environmental Negligence Leading to Industrial Growth Heightened by Technical Engineering, New Movements and Exaggerated Nationalist Tendencies). In part, this was due to the blossoming field of mathematics, which was able to calculate that 71% of the world was covered with water. Combined with science, which noted that man had no gills, philosophy then used these facts to call into question the assumption that God had made the world for man. Since the darker times of the ENLIGHTENMENT, progress has been made securing a successful future for GOD. The projected aim is that we will all live in a world where Global Overall Development is present.

      The Lord helps those who help themselves, and is tired of everyone's whining and decided to take a long break for ten years. For those if you with a problem with that, God paid for rent-a-deity to get a replacement for his vacation, Loki. God really likes the wealthy because they don't whine as much as poor people do. God also likes conservatives more than liberals, because conservatives don't whine as much as liberals do. If Loki is unavailable you can talk to his assistant Eris instead. Loki is busy planning the end of the world, in 2012 as promised to the Mayans.

      Other Cultures and God

      Many different cultures around the world see God in their own special way, but all of these ways are wrong except for our way.

      Goa'ulds often pose as gods, but they are not. However, at least they are real.

      Jews don't say the word G-d because G-d is better than the letter O, or any combination of letters put together. (See also G-d) This is the reason why YHWH is spelled YHWH, in spite of the word not having any O's. (There was also a disturbing frequency of mishaps in which people who were told, "FINE, HAVE IT YOUR WAY!" mistook the insult for a prayer to G-d (Yahweh), prompting the ban.)

      This led to jokes about God's name. One of the most bizarre involved a railroad on Short Island, New Jersey, which put a church on every rush-hour train and called itself the "Steel Yahweh to the Fair Gateway". Religious types whined about this, and G-d smited the railroad with a thunderbolt, with the result being that every train arrived at Penn Station early. (Thank G-d for electric trains!) After realizing His mistake, God crashed a barge into a trestle, which managed to tie up traffic. The railroad subsequently dropped the ad campaign and switched to "Reverend Dan" as an uniting character, ultimately having him fall in love with "Patty Snow" and dropped as well. That railroad went belly-up in 1968 because folks thought it was too religious.

      After Job told God He had messed up pretty badly with the Hebrews, his popularity in the area greatly decreased. After writing a threatening reply to Job, God was forced to leave the country. He changed His name to Brahma and moved to ancient India. When people started asking Him the same old questions about the existence of Evil and Life After Death and all that, he got annoyed and moved away again. This cycle of events continued for centuries, until he sent some Avatars around to tell people "just deal with it, I am outta here." Unfortunately, most of them fouled the operation up in some manner.

      Soon after, the various faiths God had inspired began to war against each other. The Supreme Being, well know as being a lover of irony, found this quite amusing. Thus, he will still create new religions from time to time, when not busy in alternate universes messing with the inhabitants.

      In Finland people have invented the real form of God. God has thinked that this present time is perfect for relieving his real form to lousy specie of human. During Olympics in Torino God announced His real form and stepped out as Finnish curlingteam's captain Markku Uusipavalniemi. At the same time he also told to people of this planet that all earlier things that humans have believed to be Gods are just other forms of Uusis. Jesus was only a result of one boring night on the planet earth and needed to be taken back to Uusis as soon as possible. Uusis just had other businesses and wasn't able to take Jesus back until he was about 30.

      Don't make their God bust out locusts on yo' ass.:


      God is pissed.:


      Alter egos

      יהוה (The Artist Formerly Known as God):

      At one time, God had gotten tired of being called God. So He invented a new name, ﷲ. When ﷲ had decided on that name, He/She/It dumped the new name in the worst possible location on Earth. That's right.... Arabia. The people didn't know what to think of such a scribbling as ﷲ, so they gave up and called God "Allah" instead. The people in the rest of the world were just as confused, and so by popular request God dropped the name ﷲ and went back to being God. Oh well. Ironically, this was a thousand years after the יהוה debacle, in which God burped out another name nobody understood, and in which case the victims declared the name holy and started worshiping the name as an idol and refusing to announce (denounce, pronounce, antinounce, whatever) it.

      Captain Omnipotent:

      Unbeknowst to the general public, God has a secret, crime-fighting identity that he assumes during night-time, namely that of Captain Omnipotent, the most ridiciously overpowered superhero in the history of the omniverse. More of his doings as Captain Omnipotent may be read in its main article.

      God as his night-time alter ego, Captain Omnipotent.:



      DJ God:

      For tonight, God... is a DJ. Frankly this is not true. God is not a disc jockey. Nor is he a musician, thespian of other performer of the public fine arts. For God, tonight, or for any other part of any other day ... has no rhythm, or skills.. at all. As far as talent goes god has the least in the acoustics department. The reason why god is often confused with a DJ is due to some nasty and unbecoming similarities that DJ's seem to share with this omnipotent potentate. Like lots of DJ's God is, for example, a selfish, egocentric, uneducated, spoiled, vengeful,useless ,loudmouthed, whoring little twit. Apart from the similarities here stated it has to be recognized that most DJ's do , in fact, get over this period whilst god himself has not done so for millions of years ( however some ID supporters claim god has only been a spoiled brat for 6000 years ).

      Death

      Though 19th century philosopher Frederick Nietzsche vigorously declared God to be dead during his lifetime, the world's religious communities have strongly opposed the idea. Since Nietzsche wrote his iconic words, "God is Dead," forensic evidence has surfaced that refutes his claim.

      Firstly comes the matter of Habeas Corpus, "Produce the Body." As of yet, no corpse has been found, despite a worldwide search for the body by Metropolitan Police forces and rural constabularies. No archaeologist or paleontologist has unearthed the corpse, despite its obvious size. A growing number of anti-religious geologists believe that the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa was caused by God's body falling into the Pacific after a flaming drop through the earth's atmosphere. This theory, however, is complete bullshit.

      Secondly, there are many first-hand witnesses to God's existence since the supposed death. God is often seen flying around the sky over Mexico. Many people, including the United States of America's George W. Bush, speak with God on a regular basis. God often tells them to do things, things which further God's causes but coincidentally further their own selfish goals. Funny, that.

      Why Does God Need a Starship?

      Nietzsche was incorrect about the date of God's death, but he was correct that God would die. The approximate date of God's death is unknown, but it occurs well over 300 years in the future. The event has been dramatized in film in a movie called Star Trek V, The Final Frontier.

      In the future, rogue Captain James T. Kirk will enter heaven, which looks strangely like the California desert. There, he meets God, who will tell him to take his ship, Enterprise, on a holy crusade. Kirk boldly denounces God to his face with the words, "Why Does God Need a Starship?" This angers God, but Kirk tells his Klingon buddy Klaa, captaining a nearby Bird of Prey, to explode God. Two or three disruptor bolts, and it will all be over.

      Final Frontier Fallout

      The dramatization of God's death in The Final Frontier in 1989 caused a furor in the world's religious communities, sparking many religious debates. For months, sectarian violence wracked the world, with Final Frontierists holding high their banners, "Why Does God Need a Starship?" Most major religions suffered major schisms, resulting in pre-post-God-death religions, including:

      * Future Atheists believe that God exists now, but will be dead in the future. They practice their religions as normal, but have edited out parts of their religious texts which refer to God's eduring nature, such as the last part of the Lord's prayer, "...forever and ever, Amen."

      * Celestial Monarchists believe that since God was the basis of European medieval monarchies, he is the ultimate Lord. As such, when he dies, Jesus will take the throne, thus continuing the royal line. What worries most Celestial Monarchists is that Jesus was unable to sire an heir...

      * Klaaists believe that because Klingon Commander Klaa destroys God, he becomes God. They have translated the Bible into Klingon, and can be seen outside Star Trek conventions obnoxiously ringing tambourines and asking for money.

      Proof of God's identity

      God can be proved to exist using Lo Pan's Razor, or by using Thomas Aquinas' logic. Just pick one of these syllogisms:
      Nobody is perfect,
      Perfect is God only;
      Therefore, God is Nobody.
      Therefore, He does not exist.
      or

      God is love.
      Love is blind.
      Ray Charles is blind.
      Therefore, Ray Charles is God.
      or
      I stink, therefore I am,
      Thus the less you stink the less real you are.
      Cleanliness is next to godliness;
      The cleaner you are the less you stink,
      Therefore God doesn't exist.
      Having a wet dream is having a sexy dream
      Not remembering your dream is not having a dream
      Therefore, God gave you a handjob for being good.
      and then there is the infamous babel fish controversy, but that will be explained in the babel fish article.

      George Bush & God

      After George Bush had a near-death/out-of-body experience in 2002 after choking on a pretzel, he stated that he had gained a vast knowledge of the universe and also had God's "full backing" to invade Iraq. God has since stated that he "did nothing of the sort" & "Oh man I have I gotta get that twat some bigger pretzels".

      Other Uses for God

      History has seen some truly innovative uses for God.

      God as a Rhetorical Device

      In the art of rhetoric or debate, citing God's will is the ultimate trump card. However, this is generally considered equivalent to playing "nuclear bomb" or "supernova" in a game of rock-paper-scissors, or hitting the restart button during a multiplayer video game. The use of God is now heavily discouraged and is viewed as poor sportsmanship.

      That post is hilarious! But it doesn't prove God, you cannot prove God.


      Let me make an obvious division.

      If you're asleep, you think God is a random cranky old white bearded man wondering around on a bunch of clouds, judging people.

      If you're awake, you know God as the brilliant Reality which is shining effortlessly right now.

      I don't understand why those who spend their entire life arguing against God, argue against an idea of God that no one really believes in

      come and argue against the real God, that God that is in all consciousness, and reflecting back at us. why waste your time arguing against Zeus? who here on this forum cares about a bearded man in the sky hurling lightning down? No one.

      I hope you didn't seriously take this post as an attempt to prove or disprove God's existence.

      That didn't have anything to do with Zeus, it was about the Christian God. So, your Zeus thing has nothing to do with this article.

      By the way, who're you to say which God is real and isn't real? Maybe no one cares about your "God is everything" religion?

      zeus is a God with a white beard that sits on a cloud, judges all others and throws lightning when he's angry. this is the view atheists tend to have when christians talk about God. Christians do not worship 'Zeus'

      what does anyone caring about my beliefs have anything to do with this discussion? please, Ive been here long enough to know most of the people who only want to rant and rave on this forum have no respect for others

      its just getting old to hear atheists constantly argue against a very boxed up definition of God as if the argument is valid against all God believing people. when it is not. it will never be unless they begin to argue a more open minded view of God.

      No, I was just making a brief point that is relevant in some ways.
