Gandhi #11: On the Theory of God

Almost Comatose
by Gandhi Mangler

How can an unseen force -- what people call "God" -- use any method to bring about its will or make its will known if it cannot be measured, e.g. provide evidence of its existence?

This unseen force is unable to be measured, so how can people justify believing in it? By invoking their feelings? The existence of a force must be measurable -- else its existence cannot be proven.

How, again, can a man justify his belief in a "supernatural" force? Man tries to use his logic. But his logic cannot prove the force's existence -- else the force loses its "supernatural" aspects. How can it be a force if it is not natural or measurable?

If a man is to postulate that a force can be natural and supernatural at the same time, or natural at some times and supernatural at other times, then what methods can be utilized to accomplish such a switch or "transendence"?

That particular man must either imagine something or claim ignorance, perhaps by saying "I have faith."

But on what does he base his faith? Preponderance of what he perceives as facts?

But he has relied on what he has observed and reasoned it through logical statements to conclude that some force he has neither observed, nor experienced, nor convincingly proven, is true!


Perhaps, though, that man claims that the force is natural -- that, perhaps all observable forces are part of one force created all of them. Well, then, I'd like to see his developed thesis -- perhaps how one force exploded and split into all these different forces.

Isn't that sort of like the big bang theory, except that the force was not divine?

It's a hell of a thing. I can't prove the big bang , partly because I wasn't there. I cannot prove that a god created every thing or anything, or that that force has a desire or interest in how I act. I also cannot, as of yet, prove evolutionary theories. I can, however, prove which one is more plausible.

Because (1) proof of a god's existence is noticeably lacking, (2) no methods or results of such a force are evident, and (3) presence of a divine ability -- or any "supernatural" ability -- has been proven to be true and many have been proven false, then the existence of any god is strongly implausible.


Comfort yourselves with your Theory of God, just as you pleasure yourselves with anal sex.
