Coronavirus: God, where are you?<\/p>\n
War, famine, pestilence. Here we go again. The biggest lie that human imagination ever created: A benevolent God? Really? We profess faith in this benevolent entity while simultaneously quaking in our boots, afraid to even go to church or synagogues or mosques. Hello! Life is not a rehearsal for an afterlife. It is the here and now.<\/p>\n
Miracles and catastrophes the former far outnumbered by the latter. Why? Serendipity. Fortunate circumstances. A fire, a car crash, one survives, another doesnt. Circumstance, not divine intervention. Or is it that only God has the right to be capricious? Its absurd.<\/p>\n
An infamous dictator said that a big lie is easier to believe than small ones. It is a matter of faith, not subjected to critical thinking but rather appealing to simplistic wishful thinking.<\/p>\n
A hero is not one whose conduct is based on illusionary immortality (martyrdom). A hero is one whose conduct is not influenced by illusion, instead willingly accepts oblivion.<\/p>\n
In other words, religious faith may comfort you, but if that is the basis for your conduct, you are ignorant, a fool, an idiot or all of the above.<\/p>\n
