They all make you think except one.

The, "I don't know, therefore god" meme sticks out like a turd in a punch bowl. No thinking required with that one, and that's what religion depends on to survive.

“I don’t know”…. ”Therefore god”

“I don’t know”…. “Let’s find out”

——————————————————-

Science.

Because reality is too interesting
To be content with ignorance.

That’s the whole thing.

I only had the first part show up.

OK, just looked on my computer and the entire meme is there, sooooo.....for some reason only half is showing on my phone.

Either it's god, or maybe I'll find out what's up with that. Saying "it's god" would certainly be easier.

That they create. A better how-to book with clearer instructions would be helpful too.

6. The 2 most horrific social ills of Ancient Rome were ignored

During the times that Jesus supposedly lived, the 2 most horrific social ills were slavery and infanticide. Both were encouraged and practiced in Ancient Rome, when Jesus supposedly walked the streets.

And yet he said practically nothing about either one. How could the representative of a moral god have ignored such horrors? These are the standards that Christians want everyone to use.

My thought is a tiny bit different.

Any religion cannot be right because every one of them is internally inconsistent.
