God According to the Bible

Today I ran across this little nifty flash presentation from a site call "The Atheist Delusion " which basically spread the words of good old evangelism, "God created the universe and everything and science got it all wrong". I guess there is no point arguing to the creator of this Flash presentation Edward Current. Who insisted that the laws of physics such as radioactive decays and the speed of light is merely a delusion by a squandering scientist who refuse to believe in the "facts from the Bible". Anyhow just take a deep breath and let the images sink in for the sake of his argument.




Even though I'm an agnostics myself, I will tolerate his claim and play the devil's advocate that all of those characteristics of God might be true. So according to the deductive reasoning base on the texts of the old testament in the good book. God should also posses this character base on the books of Old testament,

Richard Dawkins 's view of God base from the books of Old Testament

Alright take a good minute to digest these two videos folks, despite the question of whether God is real or not to our belief, one thing remains a constant truth. The omnipotent being in the Bible could bring the worse of known evil seen to all mortals as he seems fit. Though many of you might see it different otherwise, but I can assure you that if you read enough Bible in your life time (I went to Catholic Prep schools for 12 years)- these not so pleasant traits are clearly visible in the writings. So according to my agnostics point of view, is that the kind of God you want your universe to be run by? A food for your thought there.

The Youths of God

Alright first of just watch these two video and take a quick time for them to sink into your noodles

Upcoming Film Jesus Camp in America:



Here is another clip from the different side of the spectrum:





Ok now have all those images get digest into you numbing mind and we all shall start the topic of the day-"the R word"-Religion. For many of my readers since the beginning of my blogging and close friends alike, they all know that for sometime I have grown very wary of religion fundamentalism around the globe. A few days ago my nostalgia started with the event of Islamic anger against Pop Benedict XVI 's remark which I think most of people of this worldly planet would know unless you have been stoned under the basement for a few moths. Even though finally the whole altercation of verbal prejudice might subside but after an accidental ran in with the preview of the movie "Jesus Camp" recently, now my nostalgia has turn into a full gear vomit. As you all can see from the videos one thing is clear, despites the effort from the developed world to spread the voice of reason through the benefit of Globalization 3.0 which comes with advances in education, instant telecommunication, and reason of science    Alright bashing religion might not be the best way of pointing out my view out, so I will play the devil's advocate and be optimistic. Let's look into what religious extreme will ultimately bare fruit to the children. This is a bunch of kids who will have a hope for their lives through commitment of faith-a bunch of kids who will have an interest in society and want to change it for the better-a bunch of kids who will get together in unity and care for each other in the name of God-a bunch of kids who don't spend all day zonked out in front of the Playstation- a bunch of kids who won't try drugs, get pregnant, stab someone in a gang brawl, steal a car..    However can you all as a responsible adult live with the fact that having children pursue the sense of purpose by the guidance of the religious institution?  Is it also acceptable to have children learn the language of prejudice and violence just because the sacred texts told you the obligations? In the world that we are empowered by the tools of reason such as science and mathematics, helping our children evaluating their world in its simplistic truth, yet it is truly tragic that the supply-chain of hate will never end in the name of Faith. Ultimately the war on terror is a downhill battle, when the roots of its representatives are being breed on the daily basis just because their parents are too ignorant to see the vicious cycles. As many times before and once again, religions are like drinking only in moderation. At the end it is this kind of detriment that the future of our society will have to bear the price.
