EVERYONE KNOWS there’s no god. EVERYONE KNOWS religion is just a fairy tale that people tell themselves to make the harshness of their own lives more bearable.

The unavoidable proof of this? EVERYONE KNOWS the death of a child is a tragedy. But if you believed in god and you believed that a child will invariably end up in heaven when they die, then in which possible way would the death of a child be a tragedy?

If there was a god, then the death of a child would simply mean that he stopped suffering all the hardships of life on earth and went directly to heaven to an eternal life of pure bliss. That’s not a tragedy. That’s something people would most certainly celebrate… if they actually believed in that crap.

If there was a god, then killing a child would be, at best, a wonderful thing to do, and at worst, a victimless crime since the child himself would be the one benefiting the most from such action. Yet EVERYONE KNOWS the death of a child is the worst tragedy imaginable. Because EVERYONE KNOWS that we have only one life to live and to kill someone is to take from them the one thing that was truly theirs.

So NOBODY believes in god. What they believe is that having belief in god would make them happier. They HOPE there is a god, much in the same way the dorky nerd hopes using that deodorant from the annoying commercials will actually make him more attractive to women, because the alternative (that no woman will like him no matter what he does) is simply too hard to bear for him.
