The Tragic Sense of Life in Humans and in Peoples on Eternity of the World Part III

Outside the locked doors of the Sistine Chapel, a Swiss Guard stood at attention and let his eyes wander across the marble inlay patterns of the floor of the Sala Regia. The grand hall was empty, and his presence there might have appeared pointless. However, the guards and the conclave masters knew that, despite its reputation for being hermetically sealed, the Vatican was actually quite permeable—sometimes embarrassingly so. Honest to God, take this happy ending away, it is all the same. God will not waste simplicity on possibility. Shaking the foundations. Get me up, wake me up, dreams are filling this trace of blame. The God above God–frozen still I thought I could stop, now who is going to wait. No one is calling for me at the door. And unpredictable will not bother me anymore. And silently gets harder to ignore. Look straight ahead, there is nothing left to see. What is done is done, this life has got it’s hold on me. Just let it go, what now can never be. Now what do I do, can my mind? Did I think things through? Traditional theism has made God a Heavenly, completely perfect person who resides above the World and humankind. #RyanPhillippe 1 of 7

 It was once my life; it was my life at one time. The protest of atheism is correct. How can the church be full of cosmic policemen who sin more than others? A lot of them are former pimps and use the church’s money to buy mansions and luxury vehicles and they live a lifestyle of a superstar. We must now give up belief in God as somebody “out there,” just as Copernican astronomy made people abandon “the old man in the sky.” Most believers are inclined to think of God as a kind of visitor from outer space. Unlike “the old man in the sky” or the “visitor from outer space,” from the perspective of an atheist, God is not another individual entity besides the familiar entities of experience not even the “most powerful” or the “most perfect” one. He is “being-itself.” As such, God is not contingent but necessary, and arguments for his existence are not required. The idea of God, is not thing idea of something or someone who might or might not exist. In making God an object besides other objects, the existence and nature of which are matters of argument, theology supports the escape to atheism. The first step to atheism is always a theology which drags God down to the level of doubtful things. #RyanPhillippe 2 of 7

At times we are told that the antiquated-fashioned believers are mistaken in thinking that God is out there because God is really inside of us—in so far as our lives have depth, insofar as we live agapeistically (Christian love). However, even at times Christian denounce God by calling each other sinners and saying that Earth is the Devil’s World. Where one’s interest lies, one’s proficiency also lies. Where something does not lack significance, there is also no lack of sense or organs. Whatever the heart is open to, is also no mystery ahead. Thus, the reason why humanity in modern times lost the organs for the supersensible World and its mysteries, is that in losing faith in this World it also lost the sense for it; because the essential tendency of the modern World has anti-Christian and anti-theological concepts. People worship material possessions, and enjoy knowingly and willfully putting the lives of others in danger for profit and amusement, and then they turn around and blame their behavior on the Devil, but forget that they have free will and that the blood of Jesus Christ forgave the World of the sin of Adam and Eve, so all suffering is related to human’s free will and not of the Devil. The fact that humans try to blame their behavior on a mythical being, so that they may be grossly mentally incompetent and mentally unwell. #RyanPhilllippe 3 of  7

Why do Christians even denounce God when their behavior radically transcends anything we ever experienced that the picture of these glorified humans cannot possibly do justice to the reality of? In the former context, God must not said to be out there because he is really in here deep down, in the latter context, because he is too removed to be even out there. In the former context, theological sentences become a species of very special psychological statements, and in the latter they are clearly items of transcendent metaphysics. There seems to be a constant oscillation between these two positions, so that at times traditional theology is denounced for not being sufficiently this-Worldly, while at other times it is condemned for being too close to the World. If this is the Devil’s World, then you are implying that God is nothing and a dead thing because God cannot create anything that is bad or imperfect. Basically what you are telling us is that, “too many cares are weighing down on me—the pressure is too great.” Why? Because if people can eliminate any responsibility for their problems and bad behavior, they will success in escaping blame or a guilty conscience. #RyanPhillippe 4 of 7

Many atheists believe that it is admittedly impossible to prove the existence of God, but it is equally impossible to disprove this existence; hence, we must either suspend judgment or, if we embrace some position, we must do so on the basis of faith alone. To avoid misleading associations of words “prove” and “disprove,” the same point may be expressed by saying that we have no evidence either for or against God’s existence. Sometimes the reminder is added that the mere failure of the arguments for the existence of God does not show that there is no God. Anybody who supposed this would plainly be guilty of the fallacy of argumentum ad ignorantiam (appeal to ignorance), which is a fallacy that a proposition is true simply on the basis that it has not been proven false or that it is false simply because it has not been proven true. This error in reasoning is often expressed with influential rhetoric. If one argues that God or telepathy, ghosts, or unidentified flying objects (UFOs) do not exist because their existence has not been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, then this fallacy occurs. On the other hand, if one argues that God, telepathy, and so on do exist because their non-existence has not been proved, then one argues fallaciously as well. #RyanPhillippe 5 of 7

In spite of all the talk, not a single report of an actual God has been authenticated. However, if we assume that there is no such thing as God, this would be typical of ad ignorantiam fallacy. Therefore, many people suspend judgement concerning God. However, these same people do not suspend judgment in relation to the gods of the Greeks or in relation to the devil and witches. However, most educated people suspend judgement concerning the Olympian gods or the Devil or witches. Still, some people who believe in God, reject the belief of Olympian gods, but believe in the Devil and witches. So religion and God is quiet a conundrum. Some people even call God by different names and claim that his name is not God. So, there is not telling what deity people are actually worshipping, and that may be why atheists suspend judgment on God because its name actually has led to people being killed, assaulted, and even wars. Some ministers still believe in the Devil. The Devil is introduced as the only plausible explanatory principle of a great many phenomena. However, you also have people who believe the Devil is a good deity. Nonetheless, humans blame everything bad on the Devil, even when they know it is a direct result of their negligence. #RyanPhillippe 6 of 7

The Devil is a lie is often a phrase used by many Christians to reject a proposition that they do not believe. It is actually true, however, not in the way they mean it. Yes, to believe that the Devil is responsible for every bad action on Earth is a lie. Did the Devil actually make you do something bad or was it your own free will? People often prefer what is rich and beautiful and ennobling and sometimes their choices so commonly makes them do things that are degrading and the speed with which lies and slander spread in all directions, and also the failure of the World’s diplomats is the cause of unethical and unlawful behavior. Could people of education, intelligence, and honest intent gather around a World conference table and fail so completely to understand each other’s needs and goals if their thinking was not being deliberately clouded and corrupted? Some allege that all such failures are the work of the Devil and they show that he is a creature of vastly superior intelligence, a mighty gifted spirit of infinite resourcefulness. The Devil is no bungling creature, but a price of lofty stature, of unlimited craft and cunning, able to take advantage of every opportunity that presents itself. #RyanPhillippe 7 of 7
