The Agnostic Challenge

by Thomas Edward Ulatowski

It is past time to acknowledge the now obvious fact that there is no worldwide religious consensus. Consequently, the belief in a divine revelation produces this devastating dichotomy. Either God is not almighty because He was incapable of making Himself clear regarding the existence of one true religion, or the Almighty created mostly defective people who can't recognize His clear message.

If the clearest fact is that there is no clear-cut successful revelation, then the religious are insulting the Creator by insisting that there was an inadequate revelation or a botched creation!

When serious thought is required all relevant facts must be honestly acknowledged. The All-Perfect Almighty God's religion should stand out; instead, any semi-powerful and just god must be hiding from us. Only a devil could be behind our current ball of delusion and confusion. Can you prove that your religion wasn't started by a devil?

Whatever is right is right, so imagine this. If you are a random believer, what if when you die there is an actual ALL-GOOD and Almighty God, and HE or SHE asks you why (instead of standing for responsibility, truth, and understanding) you stood for superstitious irresponsibility, provincial flimflam, and liars everywhere? How do you answer?

Be careful. Be skeptical. If your superstitious cult didn't stress the fundamental importance of reason, understanding, learning the complete truth and having the courage to not ignore evidence then your god is an obscurantist devil who does not want you to think like a responsible or moral adult.

Only responsibility to the complete truth can be love.
