The concept of 'God' contains implied contradictions or absurdities which, if recognized by the believer, would probably result in its immediate rejection. Quite often yo will hear a child, having been told that God created everything, blurt out the quiestion. 'But, who created God?', hitting the target dead center. Even a small child can often sense the absurdity of the concept of an omnipotent god.
To say that 'God' has existed forever and created everything explains nothing and leaves us with the concept of an unfathomable existence, a magic universo where anything can happen. This belief is highly destructive to the intellect of the individual, particularly that of a child.
However, as we continue to examine the nature of real existence, the particulars of how it Works become evident and understandable. As opposed to the Gawd did it. 'Cliché', we now understand the controlling mechanisms that are at the level of the primary particles. These controls are internal, not imposed from beyond nature.
The concepts of 'God' and 'omnipotence' require something beyond a simple divergent from manifest existence, it constitutes a belief in magic. This is the fundamental insanity, believing in magic is to believe that anything is possible, a complete departure from the recognition of reality.
Yet, 'God', omnipotence and magic also carry the implication of organization, the ultimante organization. The most fundamental concept of existence is denied, the 'primacy of structure', the fact that you can't have organization without structure to maintain that organization.
For there to be organization, there must be some physical 'thing' organized, even for the organization of ideas. the physical realities cannot be dismissed or otherwise made to be something other than what they are.
Another most obvious absurdity in the concept of an omnipotent 'God' is that, if 'God' has existed forever, in that there vas no creation for 'him', 'her' or 'it', why would such a being créate everything else in existence at some point in time, somewhere in the midst of eternity?
Most religions claim this creation occured just a few thousand years ago. that this god should 'create' everythin at any point in eternity constitutes an absurdity. If 'God' has existed forever, how is it that creation occurred only four thousand years ago or a few million years ago or twenty billion years ago? Any point in time you choose for creation will remain an absurdity, assuming an eternal 'God'.
These, then, are the primacy absurdities inherent in the concept of 'God'. the list is limited only by the amount of time one cares to devote pondering the implications. Everything we have learnes abut the universo indicates that things really woks in ways that are mutually exclusive with the concept of 'god'. Regardless of the direction one approaches the 'God'.
Belief can never ultimately Foster integrity or human functionality, simply because it is incompatible with intelectual integrit, it is founded on delusion. In order for such religión to survive, it must forever be at odds with the ultimate realities and instill defective thought patterns in its minions.
