How Christians Prove GOD.

 As for reasons to believe in a literal, autonomously self-aware (mind-independent), "Being." ... who makes demands, threats, and promises ... via ancient rumors and modern arguments, ... circulated exclusively via mutually exclusive, competing religions, ... all of whom drown each other out as white noise in their shared sea of competing God-theories, ...

I've heard all the claims. Or, at least the claims that are popular enough to have reached me. I've heard all of their respective apologetics. I've heard all the counterapologetics. -Including the counterclaims made by rival versions of "Christianity". I've understood them all, within the limits of my own intellectual and social capacity. At the same time, I am keenly aware that: nobody is ever under any moral obligation to listen long, seriously consider, or even worry about any of it. Is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a measure of a human's moral character, .... to: a.) accidentally hear about any gods, b.) ask or agree to hear more about such things, c.) take such rumors, bribes, or threats seriously *before* we've had a chance to look deeply into such things, and before we have a rational or moral reason to look into it, d.) undertake the human-given quest to play a high-stakes game of hide and seek with a rumored omni-propertied Entity, e.) pretend that any such human-given quest (or "calling") is being issued by a "God", f.) assume there is a "God", h.) assume that "He" identifies as male, even though it doesn't have any male anatomy (hurray for the Trans God who doesn't want to share the catwalk with any trans humans. I guess) i.) assume there is only 1 of those (or three, pretending to be 1. Hurray for gaslighting, I guess ), j.) assume all the renowned and highly qualified **historians of religion** (whose respective academic expertise includes pre, during, and post Second Temple Isrealite religions) ... are lying or ignorant when they adamantly disagree with countless essential claims ... being made by Christians. k.) Shop around, looking for fringe academic voices willing to confirm the arbitrary biases that random fundamentalist religionists have enticed and coerced us to adopt. After all, whenever experts agree with a religious person, we should trust the experts. But whenever experts disagree with the religious person, it's a satanic conspiracy to hide the truth of "God." l.) disregard or demote mainstream scholarship whenever it disagrees with Christianity-themed, religious fundamentalists, in favor of the fringe minority of credentialled voices who "confirm the bias" we were fed by random religious people we are operating under pressures from. m.) sort out any random religionists' claims about SCIENCE .. in *exactly* the same way they'd have us sort out matters of history and ethics. o.) trust our heart whenever it suits the grooming interests of religionists, because their deity "wrote all essential moral truths on our very reliable hearts" .... BUT make sure we do NOT trust our heart whenever it finds those religions' claims to be uninteresting, non-credible, or unhinged, because "The heart is wicked". p.) accept "as evidence" ... claims about answered prayers, feelings, and other forms of "miracles" ... But only such claims that are made by whichever random religious person is asking us to do that. But never accept *exactly* the same claims made by rival sects and completely different religions. Because the inherent nature of arbitrary biases (aka: Special Pleading) is divine. q.) allow any random religious person to gradually pressure-mold us into the belief that some of the people we love most in this world ... *deserve* to be thrown away forever (like the trash they are) (or, depending on how violent the religion is) ... subject to eternal conscious torment without any hope of relief, forever and ever ... while all the people of *barely sufficient* moral character get transformed into perfect people and then live forever in the state of eternal, spirit-form hedonism; - blessed also with a necessary severity of AntiSocial Personality Disorder so they can enjoy that bliss .... while giving absolutely no Fucks about the former loved ones who are in Hell for the "moral crime" of being decent and rational human beings. r.) pretend that seeing people's *potential future value* (as potential future converts) .... is the same thing as seeing the innate autonomous value of their present expression of personhood, s.) convince ourselves to reason EXACTLY like BOTH Ryan's church AND the Jehovah's Witnesses reason, that anyone finding their respective religions uninteresting, non-credible (regarding data, logic, or values), or unhinged, ... is "rejecting God", "using their free will to choose to be trash", and "Choosing not to be with God" and thus "choosing the alternative". -Just so we can justify the very same religiosities that sit in judgment over our loved ones and declare them to be trash. t.) rationalize the idea that our entire worth as sentient, self-aware, lifeforms is entirely based upon (thus, limited to) how USEFUL we prove to be (before this sick and twisted gameshow's buzzer goes off) ... as a utility for a deity's ego ("all things for his glory"). u.) pretend that surrendering to an earthside power structure BUILT and staffed only by humans ... counts as surrendering to a "God". Meanwhile, pointing over at OTHER cultural phenomena to shout "Watch out for cultural programming!", ... just so people won't notice that you are ALSO attempting to culturally program them. v.) ignore the blatant conflict of interests inherent to any ** thoughts, feeling, and behavioral control system** which claims to represent a "God" but wherein every bit of resources (time, energy, passion, priority, political voting power, societal influence, and money) sacrificed by the sheeple beneath... all directly benefit the men who sit atop ... every such system. w.) ignore the blatantly contradictory moral precepts inherent to a control system which claims to represent a perfectly moral "God" ... which simultaneously and HEAVILY relies upon gross unethical means by which to lure, capture, and keep members. x.) either deny or justify all the gross amount of harm done ... to countless many non-consenting humans (and other animal species), across the globe, over thousands of years, and still today, ... due to forms of destruction specifically and perpetually instigated by Biblical and Christian-religious dogmas, y.) Abstain from healthy regular doses of Vitamin V and/or P, unless it's only in forms Ryan's religion allows, and even then, only if you've literally filed the correct paperwork. [I had at least 10 more observations I wanted to make here. But I exhausted the entire alphabet.] z.) assume we'd better pretend all that religious fuckery makes any rational sense at all. Otherwise, "He" will hurt us. --- Meanwhile, ... All forms of "personal God"-isms ... are literally forms of superstition. -The habitualized worry or expectation that invisible entities or mysterious forces will somehow harm us ... if we don't think the right things, do the right things, or refrain from whatever will trigger those forces to implement dire consequences. Superstition is not a manifestation of health; nor is it conducive to health.
