How Can Religion Be A Lie?

Only one word is needed, and the fallacy it represents:

Unfalsifiability

Constant Moving the Goal Posts Fallacy

What makes ALL religion LIES is that no religious claim can even hope to be proven intellectually. Nor scientifically. The Religitards KNOW THIS FACT. Their beLIEfs cannot be proven true except through Empathic Predation with the word salad of fabricated prevarications made beLIEvable. Reread that last sentence and think… Religitards KNOW their beLIEfs are LIES. They may not believe they are LIES, but they know religion is ALL LIES. They KNOW they cannot prove their claims except to those whom are beLIEvers. As Ricky Gervais said (badly paraphrased), “Tell me the reason why you do not believe in the thousands of other gods humans have created, and you have answered why I do not believe your preposterous claims for a single god.”

MY PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE

The ONE and ONLY True Truth for ME Alone

This is something my father taught me when I was having such a terrible struggle with the church and its Religitards. It has since been refined into the below, in list form.

Live and Let Live.
Leave me alone, I shall leave you alone.
Mess with me and mine… Just don’t… The results won’t be pretty.
Want to be friendly? We can be friends.
Want to be belligerent? We’ll probably be enemies.
Respect the Right of ALL persons to have whatever beliefs they wish to have, even if contradictory to your beliefs.
Wish to discuss beliefs? We can discuss them.
Do not force your beliefs onto others.
Force your beliefs onto me, we are enemies to the death.
Mind your own business and affairs.
Allow others to tend to theirs.
Live and Let Live.

“He with long nose, tends to get it chopped off.” — RF Runyan (me dad). And, I am one of those that shall chop it off. Literally. Stick it where it does not belong, you no longer need it.

My Ten Commandments

These I derived from My Philosophy above as I lived with me SoulMate and twin daughters:

Question everything, trust nothing; for it is most important to know how to think than to be told what to think.
You shall mind your own business and responsibilities, and allow others to tend to theirs.
You shall render aid to others when needed, disregarding #2, as you shall want others to do for you. If your aid is refused, then do not force it.
You shall respect the right of ALL persons to believe whatsoever they wish to believe; even if contradictory to your beliefs. You may discuss beliefs; however, forcing your beliefs onto others is condemnable.
You shall live your own life always seeking to cause as little harm as possible.
You shall test everything; but you shall check your own ideas against the facts and evidence, and you shall always be ready to discard even a cherished belief if it does not conform to the facts and evidence.
You shall never overlook evil or shrink from administering justice; but you shall always be ready to forgive minor wrongdoing freely admitted and honestly regretted.
You shall treat ALL living things with love, honesty, respect, fidelity, and trust.
You shall never indoctrinate anyone, especially children, even your own, regardless of their situation; rather, teach them how to think, how to evaluate evidence, and how to disagree with you without disrespect and dishonor.
You shall value the future on a timescale longer than your own life span.

In other words, I just want to live my life as I wish. Why cannot I do that? I may no longer care about this world and dying, I don’t care about living in this shit-hole. But since I am still alive, I just live my way and make the best of it as I can. How I live is of no concern to you, unless I impede upon your rights. Good example, I play classical music outside. Fairly loud so I can hear it while working in the yard. However, if my neighbor finds it too loud, then said neighbor has every right to ask me to tone it down. And I would oblige. But if you come over with a belligerent attitude, I just might shoot you. With Rock Salt in the leg.

Also understand this. If my wife and twin daughters had not been murdered, my life and viewpoint would be so drastically different…

AND, simply put, it is religion and its Religitards sticking their god-damned noses where they do not belong.

What does it truly matter as to whether I beLIEve in ANY of your God-Things, or NOT?

You Religitards refuse to learn enough understanding to actually speak/write about anything, everything, something, nothing science. Fine. Thus, why should I not call you Religitards the sorry-arsed, god-damned LIARS all Religitards are? Think I care if you wish to be stupid the rest of your life? I do NOT. Nevertheless, where I take offense is your purposeful lying and misinformation about any science you speak/write of to the general populace. You are purposefully, with intentional evil purposes, doing your damnedest to stupidify people. Not educate. You are teaching NOTHING except vacuous prevarications made beLIEvable through Empathic Predation.

people, think, god-damnit!

Carefully analyze every word AND its placement in what Religitards write/orate. Then go back and analyze the whole sentence. Then analyze the sentence placement within each block. Then, analyze the whole thing. Much different perspective, correct? That is critical thinking. Read the sentence. Reread the sentence. Analyze words and placements. Analyze sentence structure and placement. Perhaps consult dictionary if their word choice is ambiguous. Which it usually is. Most often, I must consult a dictionary to see if I can discover the meaning of a word the Religitard means. Instead of the true de-facto meaning.

A very good example of this is the word “vulgar”. From the latin “vulgaris” which translated means “common” or “popular”. It was not until the 12th century that the Religitards added the definition: “lacking refinement, intellect, and social graces”. In other words, they changed the meaning from “of the common folk”, into a disparaging term. And you wonder why I despise Religitards and their Religitardism? It is religion that is the evil cancer that must excised.

And if you cannot analyze that deeply, just think of what they are saying. Is it not preying on your Emotions in order to override your INTELLECT? Which begs this question: Why would you trust someone who intentionally screws and destroys your intellectual capability? Is that not a true sign of a “tyrannical despot”? Religion is a Syonisic Predator (Mental). It MUST prey upon the emotions in order to gain any kind of acceptance. Religion cannot prove its own claims.

Syonis: from the Ancient Tongue on Etherlond; translates literally, “from those of others”. Syonis is one form/method of wielding Power on Etherlond. This form/method is considered the most heinous and evil form of wielding Power. Kreäsa is the other form. Translates literally, “from within”.

Something I found on a forum board site. Helps complete the list I started from memory.

How Is Religion a Lie?

The Answer is actually quite simple:

Unfalsifiability.

This is the only reason religion can even survive. It is also the only reason religion is capable of perpetuating its lie: No Evidence. Have you forgotten Äräkish’s Razor?

No Evidence = Never Existed.

Absence of evidence
ONLY proves
absence of existence.

What is ANY assertion that requires no evidence, no proof, no facts, no truth, and cannot be falsified, other than a LIE? This is the favorite tactic utilized by ALL religion. They ain’t got to prove it. As long as those Pulpit Prevaricators can get you to believe and have faith, why should they have to prove anything. FAITH = Falsehoods, Assumptions, Innuendos, and Treasonous Hypocrisy. As long as they can keep you believing in lies, why should they change?

Christopher Hitchens once said, “Any assertion made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.” This is now known as Hitchens’s Razor. There are about ten others I have collected listed later.

What does “unfalsifiability” mean? The offering of a claim that CANNOT be proven false due to the fact there is no way to check/prove the claim is false or true. Example: I have an Elfin Goddess who lives with me by the name of Lysantra.

PROVE ME WRONG!

Christopher Hitchens has also said, “Since it is inconceivable to know all religions are correct, it is only conceivable that they are all completely wrong.”

Religion: Just like history class, except ALL LIES.

And whoever came up with “absence of evidence is not evidence of absence” has already proven themselves a moron. Absence of evidence ONLY proves one thing: Absence of existence. Even an idiot can figure that out.

The Twelve Razors that Destroy
ANY and ALL Religion

Occam’s Razor: Prefer the hypothesis that postulates the fewest entities and makes as few assumptions as possible.
Sagan’s Razor: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Hitchens’s Razor: What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
Arakish’s Razor: NO EVIDENCE = NO EXISTENCE. Or, Absence of Evidence proves Absence of Existence.
Xenoview’s Razor: Objective claims require objective evidence.
Randomhero1982’s Razor: If it is not evidenced with facts, it is bollocks.
Cognistic’s Razor: Any dweeb can make any assertion.
LogicFTW’s Razor: You MUST first prove your religion/claim is not a con.
CyberLN’s Razor: A nice vinaigrette dressing must be served with any word-salad.
Nyarlethotep’s Razor: Homines quod muta (People is dumb). [Verb tense purposeful.]
Phillip K. Dick’s Razor: Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, does not go away.
Tin-Man’s Butter Knife: Any ridiculous nonsense presented shall be countered with opposing and equal ridiculous nonsense of an equal or greater amount.
1. Cognistic’s Shovel: When someone, especially Religious Absolutists, starts slinging bullshit at you, get a shovel and sling it back.

Author’s Note: Tin-Man’s is a Butter Knife since he has self-admitted his wife refuses to allow him anywhere near “sharp” edges. ;-)
