You are just as atheistic as we are....

From the brilliant mind of kcrady over at WWGHA:

Look at your Bible. The thing is chock full of stupendous miracles and magic, all of which would require a special-effects department to make as a movie. Unlike "God got me a nice parking space" or "God healed my back pain until it started hurting again a week later, but I'm still praying in faith!" Bob and weave and "metaphor" and "mysterious ways" all you want. The Bible is your advertizing copy. The Bible is your hypothesis.

It does not teach, describe, or portray a god that is conveniently invisible and indistinguishable from that god's non-existence. To the contrary, it claims, from beginning to end, that its god is powerful, that he can overthrow reality and does so for those who believe in him. That is the moral of so many Bible stories, from Moses parting the Red Sea, to Joshua destroying the walls of Jericho with trumpets, to Joseph's triumph in Egypt, to Christ raising from the dead, to the many miracles of the Apostles. Over and over again, the story is the same: a "man of God" (from Abraham to Jesus) gets into a hopeless situation. Every single fact of reality points toward certain doom. Sarah's a hundred years old, but she needs to have a son! The Israelites are trapped beween the sea and Pharaoh's chariots! Jesus is dead in his grave! No possible escape, no normal course of action is available. Only a miracle can save us now! But if we just trust God... And sure enough, God friggin' does something!

Over and over and over again, the Bible urges people: in any conflict between reality (the way Universe works) and God, bet on God. If you call yourself a Christian, that's your hypothesis.

But when it comes time to actually make that bet, every Christian here offers nothing but explanations of why we can't bet on God, why we should expect reality to keep working exactly as the atheistic scientists tell us it does.

Over, and over, and over again.

In a nutshell: You're agreeing with us when it comes to how reality works. And we're atheists. For all practical intents and purposes, you're every bit as atheistic as we are. You just cling desperately to belief in a god that is so shrunken down that there is literally no way to notice that he exists at all.
