The Impossible God

Just a few of the logical absurdities of the square triangular god of the incoherent christian bible.

Faith’s Failure: blind is better?

P1: Jesus considered those who believe with less confirmatory evidence more blessed that those who believed with more evidence. (John 20:19-31)
P2: Falsehoods are more likely to have less confirmatory evidence at their disposal than have truths.
P3: Those who believe with less confirmatory evidence are more likely to believe falsehoods.
CONCLUSION: Jesus considered those who are more likely to believe falsehoods more blessed. (P1 – P3)

The notion of faith is absurd.

    this is awesome. I don’t think that’s the kind of faith Jesus was talking about but that’s the way tons of Christian’s believe. I am a liberal Christian and believe parts of the Bible were inspired but I think the writers of the bible didn’t get it exactly perfect. They couldn’t have, it doesn’t make sense. A just god who damns people to hell for all eternity because of the way he made them? Come on.

      Thanks for commenting, Garrett.

      What kind of faith was Jesus promoting when he blessed those who believed without seeing, while not blessing those who believed only after seeing the evidence?

      Cheers, Phil

Commenting Guidelines

Anyone may respond to the arguments with rigorous argumentation and evidence. No one may offer unfocused unsubstantiated affirmations of their beliefs. The assumptions in the posted arguments reflect mainstream Christian beliefs. If you have another view of the topic that you feel better reflects the mainstream position, provided that in the form of a syllogism.

Commenting Suggestions

1: Don't merely cite the Bible as proof that the absurdity stands. My simple citing of the affirmation of an alleged authority to substantiate my claim that I am in possession of a square triangle devalues the authority, highlights my credulity, and demonstrates a lack of commitment to rational thought.
2. Keep your comments condensed. Verbosity is not a virtue. Employ syllogisms if possible as these require rigorous definitions and argumentation.
3. Don't speculate on the character or motivation of the post's author. Address the argument.
4. Don't suggest that the christian concepts under-girding the premises are not common within Christianity.
5. Don't suggest that any particular argument on this site has already been given a rational answer at some point over the centuries without including that answer.
6. Keep your tone academic. This is not a site for preaching, rants or vitriol. The editors' responses will follow your tone.

Your Golden Square Triangle

This site does not waste time debating Christians over the logical possibility of miracles, the nature of the singularity, or the historicity of Jesus. If you argue that the square triangle in your pocket is made of gold, and produce genuine gold flakes as evidence, we still know with absolute certainty that you do not have a golden square triangle in your pocket.

If the biblical god is logically incoherent as this site argues, we can stop there. Enough of the silly games Christians play by diverting attention away from Jehovah's inherent absurdities and towards issues such as an incomplete evolutionary theory as if that will somehow redeem an incoherent Jehovah.
