Lately I have been noticing irony more than ever, like my blog post about popularity being bad is unpopular, and the irony of how religion purports that unchanging is a good thing while changing to suit the whims of it's leaders.
This idea of unchanging, something that is never improved, being some sort of quality of perfection is so blatantly wrong it makes me wonder if any humans are worth keeping around when I hear religious people say "I have this book that has not changed for hundreds of years." Physics experts will confirm that everything is in a constant state of change in the universe, even the laws we created to describe it.
I can just picture many morons still trying to say that any perfect being must be unchanging, which is literally impossible. The simple act of existing is, in itself, change. One must pass through time to exist, and time is the fundamental force of change.
For something to exist outside of time it must not exist at all, because for any particles to exist they must be in a constant state of change, or movement. Movement of any sort is change, so for something to be active it must change.
Thought is absolute change, so to think of creating something you have to change. Every idea must develop from nothing, and settle into an ever improving form. That is unavoidable, nothing that thinks can avoid change.
Exertion of will is also change, it is the manifestation of change. So for a god to do anything it must change, and thus we know that the "unchanging god" claims are all lies, we can dismiss these even if they present evidence.
Essentially, nothing can remain unchanging and exist or act, not in this universe or any other.

Islam is Humbug - So are the Other Gods.
Typically I do not focus on one particular religion or god, for none are innocent of horrible doctrine. However, the Abrahamic ones are the most offensive today, and they continue to kill because their imaginary god is so weak that it needs it's mortal followers to kill, torture, and oppress for it.
This includes the cults of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity, they all worship the same war god and claim to follow nearly identical doctrine. All the doctrines of these cults are sadistic, violent, misogynistic, and insults to the species.
The sad tact is that the vast majority of followers of these doctrines either know little about their doctrine, or they lie about it to manipulate people into accepting their claims. The tip off is when they ask you to accept their claims without questioning it, they call it faith, the actual label is gullibility.
The god of Islam is so weak, such a whiny little brat, that the believers have to do all it's work for it. If this god truly existed it should be able to fend for itself, if it is worthy of anyone's worship, but instead it must demand the mortals carry out it's demands.
The Christian god is no different, as Christians in the USA demonstrate constantly. It is almost as if neither of these beliefs are accurate, or perhaps this particular god does not actually exist, like Thor and Bast, this god of Abraham is nothing more than myths of deluded old men in a time that we thought the universe revolved around us.
Judaism is much like the others but remains quiet and to itself, much like the only tolerable cult of Christianity called the Amish. The others are in a sad frenzy trying to prove their god exists while ultimately demonstrating that their god does not exist except in their own minds.
Insulting Islam is suppose to be a death sentence, but the god they follow seems oddly absent when insults are made and it's followers have to carry out this sentence instead. Making it impossible to believe that this god even exists, if it is unwilling to defend itself, or it is such a weak little rodent that the claws of human intelligence can shred it should it make it's presence known.
The Christian and Judaic god is weak against iron chariots, the Islam god is weak against humor. The more we think on this, the more likely these gods died a long time ago, dead of old age because they were nothing more than power hungry men that figured out how to take advantage of the deluded minds of timid and inconsequential men.
As I look outside I see the damage done by religion, men clinging to women as if they are property, women moving out of the way to allow the males to pass unhindered. Children afraid to speak up when they know their parents are wrong, nature trampled and banned from the city as if it has no value or is worth less than our species.
Technology wasted in the hands of those who just search for kitty videos and claims made by their leaders so they don't have to think for themselves. People still watch television or listen to the radio for news, this is simply asking to be spoonfed lies and garbage.
Change is resisted because of the religious mindset, a mindset that plagues many atheists in this country as well. Science is leant an ear only when it does not suggest any change, or the change is comforting.
This is all because of religious parents being allowed to indoctrinate the children, and religion being given a special exception to every law. An atheist must justify our actions with sound logic and evidence, while a religious person is allowed to hate, bully, even kill in almost all countries simply because it's their belief.
This privilege must no longer be tolerated, if you cannot present a clear and definitive danger then you cannot excuse killing anything, even the animals that are not human. If the words do not incite hate or are said in jest, then you have no cause for persecution of the one who penned them.
You have a right to be offended, you do not have a right to harm those who offend you, and it is time we enforce the right to offend across the globe. So pen those jokes, post those offensive ideas, make a mockery of the delusions we call religions until everyone knows it is not acceptable to be deluded.

What Is Evidence - Why the bible is not evidence.
Often when a christian is asked for evidence of their god they say the bible is the evidence. This is very fallacious, and does nothing but avoid the burden of proof. The reason they do this is because they have been indoctrinated into thinking that the bible is infallible, which is obviously not true of any religious doctrine for many reasons.
I will stick with the bible specifically, though this is true of all religious texts. The bible was written by a bunch of people during a time when education was lacking as well as understanding of how the universe works. It was written with one purpose in mind, a way to take advantage of the fears of people who knew nothing but had enough time to think of the really scary things, like death.
This fear of death is paralyzing, and when we are not struggling for survival our minds will often wander to this simple yet powerful fear. The advent of civilization gave people a lot of free time to sit and think about such things, so this fear became an everyday thing, and religious leaders saw this as the perfect opportunity to wrest control of the masses without bloodshed.
Sounds so great, until you realize they wanted the control to encourage more bloodshed against the people they didn't like. So that is why the book was written the way it was, full of contradictions as a means of endorsing anything the leader wanted endorsed at the time. Then should the leader change their mind they could recite the part that contradicts the original statement.
But the problem was how to convince the people that this one book was flawless, to convince them that it was perfect. To do that they had the brilliant idea of having the book assert it's own validity, thus no other evidence would be required. The problem is that this is just another assertion, and it's an assertion which cannot be supported by evidence in any way.
What that boils down to is that the bible is inherently false because it claims otherwise. Us atheists tend to call it circular reasoning, it's true because it claims to be true. This form of logic is a trap, intended to lure in the uneducated and stupid masses who toiled the fields and begged in the street.
So this leads to yet another point that explains how the bible cannot be evidence, it actually encourages people to remain naive, even praising stupidity and placing ignorance on a pedestal. This is written in many places, repeated enough to actually encourage the believers to remain ignorant.
There is one tiny verse which contradicts this, which was added so the leaders could, again, insert what they want into the doctrine leaving the believers no reason to oppose it. Ultimately, the entire book is nothing more than a manual on brainwashing, and that can never be utilized as evidence for any assertion, especially for the claim of there being a specific god of any sort.
