BANALITY
Does any individual know, in an absolute sense, of anything that happened before his or her birth (not talking about history books or family albums, I mean subjective experience, I mean you were there, either alive or in some "spirit" form)? Does anyone know where you go when you die? No, rather all we know is for some reason we were thrown into existence. We grew up in life and learned about this thing called God that created everything and rules the universe. That right there is evidence enough that religion and god theories are bullcrap. Religion says God is an absolute truth, existing prior to existence. But all you know for sure is your own existence. You can verify the existence of others but you can't know for sure they exist as you know for sure you exist. An absolute truth exists on a plane higher than existence.
Absolute truths: Existence, Death. (Being and Non-being).
All other truths such as "water is H20" or "I have two hands", history, science, etc. are corollary. They depend on absolute truth. Knowledge of the concept of God was gained within existence, so knowledge of God is a corollary of absolute truth. Stay with me here.
Religions say that God "created". That when the time comes, he will "destroy". Starting with Zoroastrianism, there came to be an "evil", or an antithesis that "deceived" and "caused havoc". Gods "punished" their people and "sent" plagues. Anyone know what all of these have in common? These verbs, these actions are all human. Gods' emotions- from Zeus and Aphrodite to the Old Testament God's anger to the compassion of the Christian God, to the fiery wrath of the Muslim God, these are all human characteristics. Meaning, if humans couldn't exist, an unexplainable phenomenon (thousands of years ago) such as drought (back then it was unexplainable) wouldn't be able to be identified as the "work" of a "punitive" God.
So if God has these actions and personalities, then he must be corollary to existence (the absolute truth) because without existence of humans or the world, would "angry" mean "angry"? Would it mean anything? Would "mean" mean "to intend"? Would "intend" mean anything? Would there be anything in the first place that we have come to know? Thus God as written in their scriptures exists within existence. If he were of a plane other than existence, if he were outside this sphere he has created where we, others, trees, and frogs dwell, then he would be outside of existence, or non-existent. To be outside the absolute truth of existence implies that there must be something even more true than absolute truth.
1. Truth (Worldly- Material)-----> 2. Truth (Worldy- Conceptual)-----> 3. Truth (Absolute)
Examples:
1. Trees exist
Frogs exist
I ate a turkey sandwhich
2. Division exists
Value exists
Belief exists
3. Existence & Death
(Beginning & End of subjective experience)
* Within Absolute truth, all the truths we know lie. If we were not alive, if there was just a blank screen or a void, division, value, belief, etc will become all irrelevant, they are concepts of this world. Money, sex, education, war, all irrelevant. History, science, religion, etc. all irrelevant. Even mathematics becomes irrelevant. And since the absolute truths are Being and Nonbeing, to say that God exists outside of being and that he launched the world into existence and caused the individual to escape from the womb is to say that he is not within Being, and thus is nonexistent.
For God or religion to be correct, God must be within existence and must be an absolute truth to begin with.
Then, everything about god theory and religion is tailored to human narcissism. It's all helping people cope with the finality of death. But it deceives in that it talks of eternal life or damnation, implying immortality of the "soul" or subjective experience. Religion attempts to answer existential pangs that everyone has, but in doing so it robs people of attaching importance to this life that they can tangibly feel. Instead, it conditions people to stick to their guns, be afraid, think illogically, and focus on an afterworld.
Finally, going by what religions say, that God or the spirit or whatever is beyond human understanding, who can dare say they know what he/she will do, or when he/she will bring judgment day? This is all paranoid speculation. Just live life and be a good person.
