Why is it silly?

Why is it odd to look for reasons for why things are the way they are?

We don’t have to disprove god. We already think god is a figment of human ingenuity built by humans to explain and rationalize things that couldn’t be known or understood at the time.

The way we see it: the more we learn, the less need there is to use “god did it” as a gap filler. “God did it” isn’t an answer to anything. What it does instead encourage people to resist finding answers, or to only seek out answers that this god would approve of, rather than finding out what’s real and measuring it objectively without religious bias in the way.

Feel free to think there is a god, though. Think he’s the embodiment of love and goodness and justice across the universe if you want. Whatever makes you feel good about the world and your place in it.

I’m under no obligation to follow suit.

“What difference does it make what the reason is behind a horrible act??? Does one reason make it less horrible than another? No, it doesn’t”

Life is never as black and white and if/then as religions want to paint it. Reason makes a lot of difference. It aids compassion and understanding if you make a point of finding out why people do what they do.

A boy pushes another kid off a bike. Why? Does it matter? Absolutely. What if the kid was stealing the boy’s bike at the time? Is the boy a bully who torments everyone he comes across, or did his mother just die and he’s never had to deal with this level of grief before and lashes out instead of cries?

“And once again, I’ll point out that the people who did horrible acts using the Bible as justification were / are wrong and do not represent what Christianity is.”

Why are they wrong, if what they did was part of a book that’s included in the bible and the whole bible is supposed to represent all the words of your just, good, and loving Christian god? Are you following all the words of your just, good, and loving Christian god, or only the ones that fit your current outlook on life?

“This is you judging God. Of course, you know more about these situations than He did / does.”

No, that was me describing god as presented in the available books and how humanity’s need for a god has had to adjust things to fit the new ways to live and think. I only know what’s reported in the bible.

If I judge the deity, it’s only by what he does that I disagree with. But since he’s a deity and not a human being, I wouldn’t be able to hold him to the same standards I expect of humans anyway.

I expect humans to behave better than god.

The Endangered Species portfolio was commissioned by Ronald and Frayda Feldman, long-time political and environmental activists who support innovative art projects and installations through their art gallery, Ronald Feldman Fine Art, New York. According to the Feldman’s, the idea for the portfolio emerged after conversations with Warhol about ecological issues that included a discussion about beach erosion. Warhol was always interested in animals and when Ronald Feldman proposed the idea, the artist embraced it.
