Happy belated Easter. The commercial success of Easter is perhaps the best reason to maintain it is not a religious event. The widespread sharing of chocolates and images of bunnies have nothing to do with rising from the dead, a ghoulish notion if there ever was one. Yet in our society there are still those who wish to keep the focus of Easter on worshipping impossible beings, beings that have been proven to be impossible and never did exist… or could exist. It is not unexpected that the religious get butthurt at being told what they worship cannot exist. However, when we have proof of something, then to deny that proof without even addressing why it is wrong, is my definition of stupid. Apparently I am supposed to respect a religion that says I will burn in hell for eternity, but doing so would be stupid on my part. No chance I respect that. The religious wish to mask what is false behind the term belief and I reject they can do that. In posing what are academic arguments however, those opposed decided to take it much further and lie about me personally.
CKReview News and myself have been made the focus of a series of misrepresentations made by an alleged local school teacher, Melissa Lynn, on social media. The holier-than-thou thought I may be intimidated to express myself in regards to saying all christians (I also include muslims and jews) are stupid in this publication, when proof is at hand and very easily attainable for any of them. All it takes is some basic logic itself and that is easy to show. So easy that my 10-year-old daughter was able to form a contradiction about rising from the dead, on Easter. Provided only with the rules of logic, she argued on her own that to rise from the dead would make you “both undead and unalive”, at the same time. This is what a contradiction looks like and it shows the impossibility of that story.
No Christian is More Able At Logic Than My 10-year-old
Lynn found it offensive that I declared my 10-year-old to be intellectually superior to every christian. I find it offensive that any christian thinks they are smarter than my 10-year-old on logic. Lynn was unable to show where the logic presented fails and when local apologists were linked to the story, they never showed up to even try to deflate the argument itself. They won’t because they can’t. Thus the argument stands. Instead of addressing the argument itself, Lynn decided to block me from her page while she misrepresented me to her followers, saying I said anyone who is not an atheist is stupid, which I never said. Organizing a “boycott” of the CKReview through lies about me, Lynn pats herself on the head with falsehoods that she made up. I have never said that anyone who isn’t an atheist is stupid. Plenty of atheists are stupid actually, I had one person declare he was an atheist in the same comment thread and he was as dumb as a nail and, posing arguments that resolve that people who do not exist are atheists. I never argued for atheism, or to promote atheism at any time to Lynn or anyone else. Atheism is the belief there is no god, whereas I was putting forth knowledge in the form of a logical argument and proof. One that promotes logic and not atheism. Atheism has nothing to do with claiming there is proof anything. Logic does. The other lies Flynn told include that I said that Lynn was too low-brow for Shakespeare (something she apologized for to me, yet told her followers happened), that I treaded on anyone’s belief when I showed what they say is false and not a belief at all.
Lynn was provided every opportunity to discuss the arguments made, but instead chose to smear me with falsehoods and misrepresentations. I do not hate anyone, yet I was told I hate christians by someone who hates me enough to lie where I cannot reply. Stupidity, as I said to Lynn…. does not stop at the door of the church. The gods of Judaism and Islam are equally proven to not exist and claiming they do exist is false and not a belief, if they maintain it exists after the proof then they are stupid. The provincial debt of nearly $300 billion is stupid. 9/11 truthers are very stupid. Stupid persists all around us. Saying so is why we have media in the first place. Being afraid to call out what is stupid for being stupid is hardly what this publication is about, contrary to that, this publication will when it can, report on things that are stupid, gossip about them and write with both opinions about them and facts - quite independent of the church, the government or hurt feelings of those who have been mentioned. This publication lists men locally who have sexually molested children, provides daily reports of break-ins and names people locally who have committed those crimes. To suggest we are unafraid of saying something bad about anyone locally calls into question whose crimes do you think we should hide? What knowledge should be held from public view?
If anyone thinks that I am personally afraid to tell an online bully that they are a liar or to fuck-off in printed opinion articles at the CKReview… or in social media… then think again. This publication has used any of these words in the past and retains the right to use them in the future. I call a spade a spade and a lying asshole is what I call a lying asshole. Fearlessly. And for language pimps? I have long argued that words like fuck and shit should be taught in schools with spelling and context included, at proper ages. Freedom of speech includes the freedom to use any word I please without the interference of those who wish to impose on me a moral standard that I clearly reject. Most articles at the CKReview don’t have words that tight-asses think shouldn’t be used, not to respect them, but because they most often are not applicable. In this case they are. Most christians are not liars, but none of them are good at logic. What logic you ask?
If Christians Used Logic, They Couldn’t Be Christian
The logic that proves what doesn’t exist. We prove what does not exist by showing a logical contradiction, expressed as “P and not P, at the same time”… where P is a proposition. Any proposition works, you can try your own. “A ball is on a table and is not on the same table at the same time” is a contradiction and proof that the ball cannot exist. The law of noncontradiction has stood since Aristotle for the reason that there is no such proposition that is proven as true and proven as not true at the same time. There is no other way to show what is impossible. The god as proposed by christianity is impossible and this has been stated in the CKReview in the past, so saying so here isn’t saying anything new. The god of the bible is proven to not exist because it is shown to be a contradictory object. If someone says “No, I believe there is a god that is on the table and is not on the table, at the same time… because all things are possible with a god” then I present to you a logical idiot and someone who is expressing a falsehood and not a belief. In no way do I diminish people s beliefs, but I also do not allow what is false to be presented as a belief. Hiding falsehoods behind the term belief doesn’t wash when it is proven false. Cowering and being afraid to state the truth runs against every fragment in my being.
This is what the butthurt cannot cope with. It is not my, nor the CKReview’s, intent to coddle those who cannot cope with proven truths. I will not be cowed into silence about what is proven true by people who can’t cope with the arguments. Lying about me won’t change that. They are free at anytime to post their reasoning about why the logic is mistaken, call me stupid to my face for that matter so long as they can back it up with reasoning. I’ll be the first to thank them if I am shown to be stupid on anything. I win if I learn, they don’t…. they would know they told me already.
The bible uses Jesus missing body as proof he “has risen”. Body and all. For anyone to think a body went missing because it rose to heaven is patently stupid. If a body went missing today and the morgue said “he has risen” there would be a criminal investigation. The claim he has risen would be considered stupid by any rational person. Only the very stupid would say “ok!”.
Proof the proposed gods of the bible, Torah and koran do not exist and thus it is not a belief to say they do, it is false:
The proposed gods of the bible, koran and Torah are claimed to be omnipotent, able to do all possible things. It is possible to form a rock and it is possible to lift a rock. Is it possible for the omnipotent being to form a rock that can’t be lifted? If the omnipotent being can form the rock then omnipotent being is not omnipotent, as it cannot lift the rock. If omnipotent being can lift the rock then the omnipotent being is not omnipotent as it cannot form the rock that cannot be lifted. Either way there can be no such thing as an omnipotent being, whether it is a god or not. It isn’t the fault of logic that the gods proposed by those three religions are proposed to be omnipotent.
Not Just One Proof, Hundreds Of Them Exist
There are other proof that those gods can’t exist and although we can’t prove that no god exists, those are proven to not exist. Another proof is in the argument that god cannot commit suicide and be eternal and if god can’t then it isn’t omnipotent. Nevermind that absolute truths are logically impossible and held by all those religions and others. Nevermind that the bible says god never changes and then lists multiple changes by god. Poof! No need for garbage about morality or evolution, their proposed god doesn’t exist and can’t exist and it is asking me to violate the truth to say otherwise.
The christian religion I am asked to respect includes Luke 12:26 which in the King James Version of the bible says, “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.” These people think I should respect a religion that tells my children to hate me, tells my wife to hate me and my parents to hate me and me to hate all of them. I think that is stupid. Very. Those are the alleged words of Jesus actually, before he was a zombie. Not even christians have the nerve to quote Jesus after he apparently died, however just before dying they wish to quote Jesus as doubting god. If a christian is to walk like Jesus, then just before they die then they too need to ask “Lord, why hath thou forsaken thee!”, just as Jesus allegedly did. They need to die doubting god or else they failed to walk like Jesus.
The Lords Prayer Exists In Some Ontario Public Schools
Finally, Lynn claimed I made-up that the lords prayer was said at my children’s school here in Chatham. This is why I say she is an alleged teacher, apparently she has no clue about her own school board’s policy on prayer in the schools. The principle at my childs school told me this morning that the lords prayer is allowed. Schools must have either no references to religion or have diverse references that include all religions and even secular humanism. He said it’s been that way for many years. It is not my view that the lords prayer should be removed from the schools, so long as other religious ideals and the ideals of having no religion are as equally tolerated. No-one is looking to interfere with anyone’s right to hold to a religion in a school setting, but in public discourse expect to be called out with proof why a religion is wrong by some people and I am unhesitatingly among them. To tolerate the notion that I will burn in hell forever as something I should respect, is stupid. But not nearly as much so as suggesting I wouldn’t bring these thoughts to my readers. Ironically it is a very christian thing to express doubt and christians are asked to question their religion. I do a very christian thing by showing proof that their god doesn’t exist. Christians don’t like that, but it’s true. They want their flock to doubt, but only on their terms. Real skepticism gets dismissed. Proof they are wrong is scorned and just-cause to lie about me personally.
The CKReview remains free to express views that are deemed unpalatable by the religious and no amount of brow-beating by hypocritical liars or uneducated religious bigots will change that. If you want what a church, temple or mosque offers then you won’t find it here. We don’t trade in bullshit. We don’t buckle to bullshit and we are not intimidated by bullshit. In spite of Lynn’s request that we should be. The CKReview remains dedicated to publishing the truth and in instances like this article - the proofs that make them true. People are free to contest that all they wish, but they will need to discuss the reasons why that is true and not attacks on me personally. Those who do so will be banned. See above on not tolerating bullshit.
