In trying to convince me that the God of the Bible does in fact exist and therefore validates Christianity compared to, say, Zoroastrianism, a Twitter user wrote this to me: “Does Zoroastrianism contain a virgin birth, a Trinity, a created angel/being that became evil, angel human hybrids, God becoming human and dying for our sins, new heavens and new earth?”
For
some reason, Christians are painfully unaware that virgin births are fairly
common in religious mythology. It’s not even a particularly special phenomenon
in the animal kingdom, though rare, it can and does happen. Moreover, what is
so special about female virgins anyway? The haven’t been tainted by a penis? By
that logic any man who has sex with a woman therefore taints her – how rude!
Now no god will want to impregnate her! If a religion really wants to impress
me, give me a male virgin who impregnates a woman without having sperm taken
from him.
A
trinity? What’s special about a trinity? Lots of things come in threes and
stupid tweets are one of them. Why doesn’t God stick to a duality? Or maybe
there are four spiritual facets to godhood. What difference does a trinity
make? Three is not a special number any more than any other number.
A
created angel that became evil? Jesus Christ, that’s not even in the Bible.
And, as I’ve said many times, any such creation of God had to be known by God
to become evil – since the Christian god is omniscient – and this makes God
look like a dick; he knew it was going to happen and let it happen anyway!
Angelic beings becoming evil also not special in mythology.
Angel-human
hybrids? Someone has not read ANY mythology other than their own.
New
heavens and new earth? As I’ve written before, I’m not impressed with believers’
visions of heaven which often sounds a lot like life on earth without having to
pay taxes. I get it, though, your life on earth sucks and you need to believe
it’ll get better after you die. Yet for some reason, most y’all are scared to
die just like anyone else.
Comparing one religion to another and pointing
out where one is supposedly special whereas the other is not does not validate
one’s religion. It just makes you look ignorant. That’s fine for Christians I
suppose for in being ignorant and meek they shall allegedly inherit the earth.
Mmm, yeah, judging by their work so far, that’s been working out great.
